Christmas Trip, Part II

On the 23rd, we headed up to Salt Lake City to spend time with Neal's family. We met up at his cousin, Tricia's house, where we had a yummy dinner. (Thanks, Tricia!)

That night, the kids slept at Charlotte's and Neal and I at Georgia's. We went to Temple Square on Christmas Eve. Our kids had never been!

 Audrey, Savannah, Oliver, Emmaline, Miles, Parker and Tucker.

 We went back to Charlotte and Tyler's house for some traditional Clam Chowder, games and gift opening. Emmaline made everyone a gift; it was so sweet. We loved these "Dinosaur Feet" she made for Johnny.

 Some of my pictures downloaded funny. This is one of them. Audrey and Emmaline.

Late that night, we drove back to Sundance, just in time for Santa to come! The next morning was so fun.

 Miles, opening his Josh Hamilton autographed ball.

Santa brought Audrey a Kindle and this wolf case to put it in. She has not put it down, but to sleep, since this moment. Way to go, Santa!

 Christmas aftermath, from the loft. My dad helped Miles put together his huge Lego Star Wars ship, and Parker was working on his circuit kit.

Mom and I took a peaceful walk before dinner. All in all, a very peaceful Christmas Day.
