Christmas Eve Shenanigan's (Day 6)

Christmas Eve was a wonderful night. Mom planned our traditional Jesus Dinner (food that can be found in the middle east and we think is what Jesus might of eaten...if you really want the menu contact me and I can put the list together) and reserved the church so we could have a space big enough for all the siblings. It was a bunch of people, with a lot of seriously scrumptious food, and the name rotation.

Playing together on the bed before getting ready to go over to the church...Justin trying to get some one on one sibling time.
Mini sled and presents...didn't quite turn out to be the photo opportunity but she smiled for one before she wanted to rip open the presents.

Photos of Day 5

Nothing spectacular happened on Day 5 just some good times with the family. Here are some photos from the day of nothing too special...but Family is the reason why we went to Utah in the first place so it's special to us.
Grandma Ladybug and Sariah


Big Girl sits up in the bath all by herself!

Uncle James and Uncle Paul...such handsome boys who are growing up too fast!

Uncle Mark and Uncle James with Justin such a goof!

Justin had so much fun with all of his uncles!

Time with Grandpa Kent

Uh-oh....the bald spot is showing...Sariah loves pulling on everyones hair.


Sariah tried a whole bunch of new food while in Utah. She normally eats MumMum's but tried a teething cookie and it made a huge mess. I am so grateful for MumMum's they don't make a mess like the cookies and are so easy to clean up.

But she sure did enjoy her teething cookie.


More time with cousin Sean

Sean wouldn't look at the camera too long. He kept wanting to look at the cuteness that is Sariah. Here is the only one I caught of him looking at the camera.

FHE Christmas Style (Day 4)

Day 3 was a Sunday and I seemed not to have taken any pictures...I don't know why...all I remember was Sariah hadn't been sleeping well and had been sick with lots of snot and such so I might not of been all the way awake that day. I remember there being a great game of "Do You Love Your Neighbor" on Day 3, which got way out of hand. Sadly there were no pictures taken. The memory must stay tucked away in my brain.
Anyway, Day 4 was Monday and Family Home Evening. Everyone that could come over that night came over to make cookies and a grandkid gingerbread house.

Sariah and Grandpa

Abraham, Abe, AJ...the babe with many names!
