Ward Christmas Party!

Do you think Santa knows that I've been a little naughty?!!

Josh was rambling on and on before he even got on Santa's lap!

"Who is this jolly man?"

We had a fun ward breakfast for Christmas this year! Don't you just love our Santa! All of our kids were excited to sit on his lap! Even Maurie had fun!

Snow Day!

Sam starting to make a snowman!

This is the first time he has been able to make a decent sized ball without help.

Josh decided he would be better off making a snow angel!

Jeppsen Christmas!

We had a fun Christmas party at my parents house! We did so many things I don't know where to start! Most important though is that all of the cousins had a blast!

We decorated gingerbread houses, had pizza, played in the fresh new snow, listened to Grandma read a cute version of "The Night Before Christmas," and we exchanged presents.

We are blessed!

Josh and Ted made a cute log cabin gingerbread house with delicous licorice rope fences!

Sam and I worked on a stable of sorts!

I haven't played in the snow for awhile, so it was fun to run around a little bit!

Joshie was a dare-devil on the sled!

I couldn't resist putting this one in - He is just too cute!

The grandchildren intent on Grandma's story!

Almost Stitches!

What happens when Mom tries to get ready and leaves the boys to play alone?

Luckily I had some skin glue and some butterfly bandaids! Josh was brave as always. He sure had a pretty black eye the next few days!

Our Trip on the Polar Express!

Sam and Josh in front of our passenger car of the Polar Express (Heber Valley Railroad). We had an excellent time with the kids and with cousins!

Waiting to board the Polar Express!

We were cozy inside the train! The kids wore their pj's just like in the movie!

Chase, Peyton, Heather, and Jeff

Marlee, Barrett, Kirsti, and Paul

Hot Chocolate and Cookies made by Mrs. Claus!

Our host, the "Reindeer Wrangler" read us the Polar Express and kept us entertained by singing carols and telling us funny stories and christmas jokes!


We spotted Santa at the North Pole!

(Look closely out the window.)

We had such a fun time!!

WALL-E

Sam really wanted me to put these pictures on the blog! He built this 95% by himself. It is supposed to be WALL-E (a robot from the new release movie).

Our Christmas Tree this Year

Sam and Josh were thrilled to help assemble the tree this year!
