Well here are the kiddies with good old Santa. Josef wants a transforming Wall-e, Amalie wants a My Little Pony feel better pony, Zoey wants a Cinderella and Quincey just wants to sleep. We went to Utah this weekend and had Christmas a little early. We opened presents from Gramalamadingdong, Grandpa Thomas, Grandma Kellie, Grandpa Kenny, Kenny, Jessica, Baby Kenny, Lincoln, Tairika, Stacey, and Justin. We got a lot of great stuff. Some of our faavorites are the kids new tables, Josef's pirate ship, Zoey's Abby Cadabby (and her DVD see next paragraph), Amalie's Doodle Bear, Quincey's basketball bath tub toy, and of course Mario Kart and the present that we haven't opened yet, but we know what it is.

Kenny, Jessica, and Baby Kenny gave us a movie bucket with popcorn, sprite, brownies and three wrapped packages. Each of the older kids unwrapped one and they were DVDs. Zoey spent the next hour running around saying. "My DVD, My DVD, Look my DVD!" She put all three DVDs in a bag and ran around, "My DVD, My DVD" We put her in her pajamas and she sat on Karl's lap, "My DVD, MY DVD!" She feel asleep on Karl's lap with the DVDs snuggled close to her. Karl tried to take them out of her arms after she was asleep, "my dvd" she whispered and snuggled them even closer. I think she liked her DVD.

Merry Christmas to all of you. We hope that you remember the real meaning of Christmas in this season of craziness. We are so grateful for our elder brother, friend and Savior Jesus Christ. May we all be blessed to remember the gifts he gave us of eternal life and repentance. Merry Christmas.
