Nativity X 2

Our kids had two chances to show off their dramatic skills in the nativity play - Once on Christmas Eve and once at Grandma Gibsons after-Christmas bash. They are cute...

Sucking up M&Ms on Christmas Eve!!

We spent Christmas eve at Alyse's house. Shauna brought this fun game where you suck up M&Ms with a straw. The only problem is she brought a humongous bowl that never ended (It was literally like the fishes and the loaves). We had fun, but also we kind of got headaches from it. In the end, Michael Shattuck sucks the best!

The Annual Ward Christmas Party

Our ward had a Christmas breakfast this year. Mitchell was pretty leary of Santa, but he toughed it out so he could put in his order for Batman toys.

Trent suffered through the Primary Christmas songs. That is him in the back wearing a black T-shirt. As you can imagine, he doesn't much care for performing in front of others.

Winter Fun

Mitchell has been waiting very impatiently for snow to arrive. To quote he wanted to, "Make noballs, noman, no angels, and slide (sled)." He finally got his wish and Mike helped him to fulfill all his winter wishes. We finally had to drag him inside, kicking and screaming, to warm up

Aubrey is a star member of the choir. Here she is in her Christmas performance. She did a great job. And, Grammie Gibson tooks us out for ice cream after (Who could ask for more?)

Trent didn't perform this year. He was a supportive member of the audience.

Aubrey and Mitch decorate for us!

Aubrey and Mitchell decked out the house with Christmas decor this year. The Santa hats were a necessary decoration also. Thanks kids.

Lots of fun memories

Here are a few fun pictures with the extended family. Thanks Aunt Dorothy for your biking expertise with Aubrey. We didn't take as many pictures as we thought. We'll have to check the photo bucket for more.

Colorado is Awesome!

Finally, here are some picture of our family at the Gibson-Doxey reunion in Colorado. We all had a blast. I think my kids could live there.
