Get ready for a very long post with a lot of pics! That's what happens when you visit for 10 days and have two big families!! I love it!! I couldn't ask for anything better! :) For the first part of our trip St. George decided it wanted to rain for forever! We decided to take advantage of it and go mudding on the fourwheelers. I had never been before, so it was a new adventure for me and I absolutely loved it!! SO FUN!! It was sprinkling a little, but not very cold, so perfect for getting very muddy! On Christmas Eve we had our traditional Brooks family nativity play. Syd, Macy, and I were angels, Spence, Josh, and Justin were wise men, Lee and Mitch were Mary and Joseph, don't they make such great parents :), and the rest were bystanders. After our play we all gathered around and sang carols! This is probably one of my most favorite parts of Christmas! I love to hear carols sung by my family!! Of course we had to take pictures of ourselves. ha! We're a little into ourselves. We had to though because we were all in Christmas colors! Candid!! :) Christmas Eve at the Sevy's. We also did a nativity play, but Mayah and Asher were the stars!! We had Christmas Eve dinner and opened our Christmas Pajamas!! Waiting to go up the stairs and see what santa brought us this year. Lee and Mitch got to their stockings early.... Santa brought Josh the cutest present of all.... a Great Dane puppy! He is the best puppy. He didn't even make a peep. But he couldn't hold in the pee... :) Mom and Lenny looking pretty Mitch and Lee with their new Garmin Ayden is so serious in the morning.. Until... he saw what Santa brought him... A Power wheels!! I got Ju a long board thinking I was so creative, but he wasn't as excited as I was! ha. He already took it back, and bought me a snowboard with boots and bindings. Wait a second... that was supposed to be his gift!!! Another one of my all time favorite traditions is to go to IHOP Christmas morning after we open gifts. For some reason the food just tastes so much better on Chrimstas! The twins... Joel and Leif! The Sevy clan Christmas morning. Christmas Dinner at the Brooks house... Don't you just love the table? It's beautiful!! Kens, Josh, and Ayd Lee and Mitch Ju and I Mother Dear! For Christmas Spence and Kamille got these fun hats to go along with Scum. Each chair wears a specific hat that relates to what they are. For instance the king wears the crown. It was so fun! It made the game so much more entertaining. Right before we left we went rock climbing in Snow Canyon with Ju's family. It took us a while to find the right spot, but onced we found the spot it was a lot of fun. And then we made our way home to Salt Lake!!

I looks like a great Christmas vacation. Did Melissa have a guy with her? Are they serious? Do I know him? I can't believe I missed another great game of scum. Hope you had a great Christmas, and it was so fun to be able to chat with you through skype.
