So I was really terrible this holiday season taking pictures of all the fun things we did this last holiday. So I will give you a brief history of it, peppered with the few pictures I took! 
Fred the snowman that Ryan built for me to wave good bye when I left for work in the morning. The ward Christmas party and the quickest primary nativity program ever done in the history of ward party programs. Santa Claus....hmmm he looks awfully familiar. The cute kids that sat on Santa's lap
. Wrapping presents at my desk. The pain that a jammed sewing machine can be. The saving grace of a friend that makes your nieces & nephews gifts for you. Packing up the car for the holiday trip to Utah. Uncle Alvin & Aunt Bertie's comfortable beds. The driest roads to travel on. The Christmas Carol in 3-D. Finding out that Katrina is not a baby anymore. 
All the new words that Caiden can say. Wrapping presents. Sleeping in the 
craft room. Christmas morning. Gilmore Girls seasons 1 & 2. My favorite salsa. German pancakes with buttermilk syrup. Seeing our new niece Clair. Beatles Rock Band. The happiness of giving a gift that is truly 
loved. Learning not to 
wake up Parker if he's sleeping on the stairs.The sounds of a full house of family. The snow in the canyons. Sledding. Reading. Family parties. Witnessing a 
new generation of cousins. Free clothes. Avatar. "That sounds like a little boy named Parker". The Princess & the Frog. The "Parker Taco". Zupas. Good conversation. Family Feud & Slap Scrabble. Too much good food. Park City shopping. White elephant gifts (I won with the Edward poster!). The cutest quilt store in the world! The trouble with holding both sets of keys. 
Temple work. La Puente. Ryan & Tiffany's love of snow. Skiing. 10 second cereal bars. Barnes & Noble browsing.The Rose Bowl parades. Chinese buffets that serve crab. More sledding. Pretzel Chocolate Chunk cookies. New Years eve. Sparkling Cider. How old Dick Clark looks. Giggles & laughs of nieces. Explaining to Tiffany that she can't fit in the car (we were packed to the brim!!!). The long trip home. Walking into a warm house...& unpacking the car.

Love Gilmore Girls!!! And just so you know, my sister received Beatles Rock Band from her husband for Christmas...While we were playing Sargent Pepper, I totally had a 7th (I think) grade flashback to you and Nancy's Halloween costumes. :) And you're right. Dick Clark looks really old. However, the '08-'09 New Year broadcast with him was far more depressing.
I dare say I love all of those things- EXCEPT unpacking the car!!!! Yikes. It's always the little things that make life grand; kind of like pretzel chocolate chunk cookies... mmmmm.
Your blog looks so cute! We did have a fun - FAST (and crazy) - Christmas, didn't we... We loved getting to hang out with you guys. Maybe someday I'll catch up on our blog and you can steal some Christmas pics. :) Lots of love...
Christmas is fun, but sometimes "what a relief" when it is over!" =)
