Christmas Highlights

I am going to copy both Anya and Brenda and list this year's Christmas highlights:

1- staying up late with Brooklynn watching tv

2- Sam playing in Gogo's bouncy house
3- Jessica and Ian coming over and their daughter Halle and my nephew Bastian becoming boyfriend/girlfriend (holding hands while walking down the stairs, throwing stuff over the balcony together, chasing one another in the yard). When it was time for Halle to go home, she asked Jessica, pointing to Bastian, "Can he come?"
4- Anya's slide show
5- Having my sister's and my kids together on Christmas eve

6- holding sweet little newborn Vaughn
7- Hearing Sam say, "Basjun!" (Bastian)
8- Sitting in between two of my all-time best friends and our babies during Relief Society
9- Brooklynn unexpectedly feeding me the water during Sacrament because my hands were busy feeding Mollie
10- Mollie having a 9-hour stretch of sleep one night
11- playing a very intense game of Jenga with my parents and Devin
12- going to the movies with Alli and Brooklynn

13- girls' night at Leigh Ann's with my favorite friends

14- watching old videos with Selena and Becky
15- watching the Barrys perform karoake versions of "Glee" songs
16- Going to lunch with my mom and Sam actually sitting and eating
17- having a safe drive home despite snowy conditions. God loves us :)


We are blessed beyond measure. Devin and I have the greatest, most generous families. It was a good Christmas.

Whitney, here is our family slide show. I'll still mail you a copy, but this is to hold you over until then.

What a fun Christmas! I'm sad I missed your girls night... I hope I get to meet Molly before she's five! :(

Have fun in Flagstaff... I'm not looking forward to going back to all the snow in Provo. Brrr!!

It was so much fun hanging out with all the girls and also watching the movies that Selena gave you :)It's too bad Brooklyn's comp may have a virus...those pop-ups were uncontrollable
