Christmas in Utah

This Christmas season we enjoyed making crafts (Christmas cards and snowflake ornaments), watching various kids (while their parents were busy), and attending parties- like this one: The annual Kohagen Gingerbread party. What a busy and fun Christmas we've had.

We spent Christmas in Utah with Camille's family. There was a lot of snow. Camille's brother Spencer and Robert made a sled run for the kids.

Here's some highlights of our trip: visiting with extended family. (Most of Camille's Mom's siblings and families came because 2 of Camille's cousins got married.)

and visiting with immediate family. (All Camille's siblings were together, except her brother who's on a mission.)

We began our trip with weddings. Here's Robert outside the Mt. Timpanogos Temple (where we were married.)

Christmas Eve began with traditional Christmas dinner of turkey (usually on Christmas day, but moved to Christmas Eve just for this year) and reading the Christmas story.

Let the opening of presents begin.

This Christmas was also the year of the slugs. Robert sewed the pink one for Janelle (Camille's sister) and the black one for Elizabeth (Robert's sister).

We spent New Year's visiting with Elizabeth (Robert's sister) in Vernal. Elizabeth and Saki's daughter Meresiana was born Fri. Dec 28th.
