Christmas 2011

This year for Christmas we flew to Provo to spend it with my family since Jon was getting married. It was such a crazy time, that it almost didn't feel like Christmas at times, but I still loved every minute I got to spend with my family. Once again, if you want to see more, there is some on my sister's blog and some more pictures on Facebook.
Grammy really wanted to read "The Night Before Christmas" to all her grandkids. This was to same book that her dad used to read to her. Another tradition that we did this year was caroling. It's always been one of my dad's favorites, but we hadn't done it in a few years, so we made sure to make time this year. It was so much fun! The kids had their jingle bells from the wedding that they got to shake while everyone sang "Jingle Bells". We also left plates of cookies at the houses we visited. Sorry, but I didn't get any pictures of that.
Christmas Eve we opened a few presents since we had early church the next day.
Aunt Coco bought all the kids a new hat. Jon and Melissa had also just gotten hats so we took a picture with all of them. Sorry about the red eyes, I didn't edit any of my pictures.
Ty's new bath toys that he loves!
Ty and Daddy got matching shirts! I know it's not a very good picture of them though.
This was one of the first photos on my new camera! I'm so glad I can have higher quality pictures now.
Ty thought it was pretty fun teasing Aunt Rachel.
Christmas MorningAfter ChurchI was playing around with my new camera and discovered that there are some pretty cool settings.Dinner timeAfter dinnerAs you can tell, Ty had fun playing with Bennett's new Duck Pond game.
So, after a fun two weeks visiting family, we flew back the day after Christmas to spend time with Lee's parents.
