This was Alli's first Christmas and we were so blessed to be given airplane tickets to travel "home" for Christmas this year. This little one got to meet most of our family for the first time! We spent the first half of our trip with the Kroff's and the second half with the Jennings'. It was good times for all!
We laughed and giggled with Grandma Jennings over Christmas morning juice with these inventive glasses from the kids stockings.
We cuddled up on Grandpa Jennings lap for a Christmas Eve story before bed. Followed by following Santa's sleigh by radar on Grandma's computer.
We opened our annual p.j's from Grandpa and Grandma Kroff on Christmas Eve. They fit perfect!
Sarah continued her trend of not being center of attention these days and cuddled on Great Grandma Gurr's lap instead of participating in the Manger Scene.
Spencer got to be a wise man. Alli was baby Jesus--we atleast took her bow out. :) Becca got to have Nathan as her "husband"--the lucky Mary.
We finally got our chance to ride Grandpa Jennings horses. Spencer and Sarah acted like they'd done it before. Thanks Uncle Steve for makin' this so fun!
We got to spend a late night at Tami and Aaron's house eating pizza, visiting, playing, and roasting marshmellows in their beautiful backyard for our smores. Thanks for the fun night!
Justin got to build a snow fort with the nephews in Pine Valley. Spencer thought this was pretty cool stuff.
Of course, he did have to warm up his toes after.
I didn't last out in the cold very long, but sledding is always a must in Pine Valley! So fun!
We fed the horses with Grandpa before taking Grandma Gurr out to eat for family home evening. Afterwards we got to go see the lights at the temple and watch the manger scene there.
Allison's first time meeting Great Grandma Jennings. Sarah got to play her baby dolls and Spencer got to build with her "spools" again.
The first day we were there, Justin got to escape with his brothers and went skiing for the first time in about seven years. Man he misses the mountains! All the kids and girls stayed home and got to visit and play at the park.
He still remembers how to do this though . . .
We had a wonderful Christmas! We are so blessed to have so many wonderful family members. We always leave there feeling like we didn't get to spend all the time we wanted with everyone. Love you all!
