Christmas 2009

Four of our children were home for Christmas this year, and we had a lot of fun. On Christmas Eve, we decorated gingerbread houses, although Jim and I made a gingerbread train. What a mess it all was, but remember how much fun it was to play in the mud? This was almost as good.

On Christmas day we had a baby blessing at our house. Lars blessed his son Rion. It was really nice, and we had a turkey dinner afterwards. Of course, the food was great! It's just too bad Rion wasn't old enough to enjoy it!

The day after Christmas we had a baby shower for Brooke (Jenson) Lott. She isn't due until April, but they were here visiting, so we had the shower. Two of her friends from high school came and stayed the whole time and just visited. It was an open house, so the other people came and went. She got a lot of cute clothes, but we hope it's really a girl because most of the clothes are pink. The ultrasound people said they thought it was a girl, but they also said Rion was a girl when they had their first ultrasound. Brooke also had two other showers in Orem and Salt Lake with Dave's family and friends. This baby is not going to go naked that's for sure!
