Chris' family Christmas

We really had a great Christmas this year. We had Christmas Eve dinner at my parents house and it started with a bang. Literally. We like to blow things up and this year 2 lovely gingerbread houses saw their demise. Dinner was great and then we went to my brothers (next door) and had a program that included "The 12 days of Christmas", a few piano performances,very noisy chimes,  and a traditional nativity. We then enjoyed desert, Santa brought PJ's for all and we hurried home to get to bed.Christmas morning was awesome. The kids loved opening their gifts and were thrilled to get a wii (finally... they are sure they are the very last children in America to get one). It really was awesome... check our blog in a couple days for the full story.
Here is our traditional "Christmas morning in front of the tree after all the presents are opened" picture.  Afton was pretty much done with the whole thing. I think she was very tired.
After that we went to our good friends/adopted grandma's house for waffles and a phone call from my brother, Bryn, who is serving his mission in England. It was a great day... I have so much more to tell but want to leave room for the rest of you =) so check my blog in the next couple of days for the full story on everything.
