December Picture Dump

Our good friends Lauren and John were in town and stopped by for a morning to see us.  We definitely miss this girl!

 One day we went and sang Christmas carols at a retirement center with the Dances and their friends. 

 Luckily there was a Santa statue there....this is as close as the girls got to seeing a Santa this season.  Maybe next year!

 

New Years Eve was spent at the Liechty's again.  We had a great time.  It was awesome because many of our friends were invited to the same party and for the first year in many years I didn't feel torn between two parties.  Sam spent the evening with the Alissa's family and Kimber started the evening with us and then headed to the New Years Eve Dance in Auburn.   Thanks Darcy and Shaun, we love your New Year's Eve Parties!

Christmas Morning 2014

Once again we were spoiled rotten.  Thanks to everyone for thinking of us!

Christmas Eve 2014

We had a wonderful Christmas this year.  Lots of time with family and friends.  Throw in yummy food and presents and I'd say we were pretty spoiled!

Konrad got to open a present a few weeks early:

 We got to watch UW and BYU play volleyball on the same day at UW.  He needed to support his teams.  Of course the UW sweatshirt was too big, but the BYU shirt worked. 

We decided to stay at my parents for Christmas Eve.  The girls were very excited that we gave in to their plea's.  We loaded up the van, with presents and overnight bags, and headed to my parents. 

My parents had 35 people over for dinner and Christmas Eve fun. 

My contribution for dinner:

 

Getting ready to read about the birth of Jesus Christ.  Scriptures combined with singing.  My favorite way to do it.   



 These 3 got a little crazy during the songs.  Dancing and stuff. 

 This was after the piñata exploded.  I believe it was Samantha who got the final real hit. 

 But as always, Grandpa hooks it up again and they all get to hit some more.

 All the kids:

 The girls opened their Christmas jammies and a photo-shoot started (like normal in our house :))

 The flip your hair and then pose:

 and then a dance party started...

then it was time for bed....
