Here are a bunch of different pictures of Necia...

Here she is ready for church on Christmas morning.



She does not liking having her picture taken.


Boston playing with Necia.


I took a bunch trying to get a really cute one to frame...


She likes to move too much.


Wish this one was more clear.


Not too bad...


Peeking out...


A little better...never got one I liked ...I guess I will have to try again.

Snow Fun

Joran pushing Annicha down for her turn.


Maren's turn.

Our snow people...built by Maren, Annicha, and Joran-with some help from dad.


Maybe I should call them our little snow people.

Christmas Day

Since Christmas was on Sunday this year, our children had a long wait. We have church at 9am so all they could do was open their stockings before church. After our ward, we attended the sacrament meeting of Jeff's ward-he is in the Bishopric of a young single adult ward. When we all got home we were starving so we had our breakfast casserole and cinnamon rolls. The kids didn't feel like it was Christmas so they put their pajamas back on to open gifts.
We always start with the youngest opening first...we made it through Maren and Joran before our computer started to ring. It was Dwight and Melanie skyping us from Germany. Our children were so patient while we talked with them. Finally it was time to open...

Connor-he was so jealous of the soft blanket his grandma got me when I was on bed rest we got him one of his own.


Cheyenne-she is pointing to a ctr ring


Sierra-has been asking for the ove glove for years! It can go with her cake pops maker.


Boston mostly got camping equipment for scouts...


Annicha-was thrilled with the DSI, not so much about the books...although she carries them to school every day.


Joran loves his mp3 and DS...


Maren loved everything!


Family games and movies


our cat-Connor threw him in the garbage sack and he stayed there until we took the trash out. I won't say what Jeff's idea was about that-the kids didn't like it one bit!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve this year was spent with Grandpa and Grandma Stephens as well as with Bret and Lisa's family. After a yummy dinner it was time for the traditional Christmas Eve pajamas to come out. In our family, each person has a special gift bag that they get every year-basically so mom gets the right pajamas to the right child!

Here is Connor with his

Maren and Joran loved the chocolate fountain-especially the chocolate strawberries and marshmallows-can you tell?


This was the best...this man came in to visit with the Uries (they joined us for lunch)...Maren started freaking out saying he was Santa. Finally, Jeff took her over to talk to him-he was such a good sport and played right along: he asked what she wanted for Christmas and if she had been a good girl...he told her to leave a chocolate chip cookie out for him...she was thrilled! She then pitched a fit on Christmas eve because we didn't have chocolate chip cookies to leave out - we had to convince her he would eat whatever we left and that maybe next year we would do chocolate chip!
