Christmas memories :)

Our Christmas break started out with VERY sick people...Thomas fevered for 10 days! The only one not hit was Matt...HOW he skipped it we will never know!
With sick people we decided not to share our "Christmas cheer" so we stayed home and enjoyed...US!
Here are a few of our christmas memories...

Christmas decorations
 One of our many nativities
Our wonderful Christmas countdown...Thanks Cheryl :)

Window decorations by Jac and Emily 

Making the best of sick days...lot's of sibling bonding :)
Emily decided to go on a run...it was 20 degrees and she is sockless with crocs...got to love that crazy girl! She ran a mile! Wahoo :)

Black bean brownies
THE best desert EVER....well, in my opinion anyway...HEAVEN! I may or may not have eaten it for breakfast a few mornings :)
Another Christmas Favorite..."Judy's Hot Cocoa" AMAZING!

Christmas Eve...just chillin'

Emily made us cupcakes with her new cupcake maker

"Jingle Bells, Jingle Bells" up the stairs on Christmas morning...

Stockings! 
Watching the kids open their gifts to each other!
  
They knew just what to get!
They even got Matt and I gifts! We felt very spoiled!

Can you guess what Emily's favorite gift was?


 

 Jac and Thomas LOVE their Garmins!

Matt got busy loading everyones' watches

 Sleeping in the basement together and watching movies while eating homemade ice-cream...
YES, it was a nightly event!

Movie favorites:
STAR WARS...ALL 6 of them :)
ELF
The Santa Claus
Miracle on 34th Street
The Amazing Spiderman

Cookies for Santa
(taken two days late but oh well right!?)...thanks for humoring mom kids!

Who can forget all the snow? AMAZING!
We had a great time shopping the Park City Outlets...
I think we all need one of these mirrors ;)

YEP, it was a PERFECT Christmas!

Love that you still take the Santa's cookie picture! I'm dying to try your black bean brownies! Are those PJ bottoms Emily is wearing with her crocs on her 20 degree run??! I don't think they'd be very warm! Your Christmas decorations look so beautiful and I absolutely love your nativity. Glad your Christmas was so much even, even with sick people! Thanks for all your help with the wedding!! Love you!

This brings back memories. When
we stayed all night the cookie
picture was forgotten and we took
that one late too. I would love to
have that mirror I might look normal. These pictures are so cute
how can we have such cute grand kids.
Love You
