Merry Christmas

Hope everyone had a good Christmas, we did. This year we just let the kids open presents and play with them right then if they wanted to. In the past we unwrapped all the presents first before actually opening the packaging and beginning to play. It made it a lot less stressful and it actually took us two hour to unwrap the presents rather than the usual twenty minutes. With the economy what it is we did cut back a little this year but it made it funner to shop as we tried to put more thought into each present we bought rather than how much we had spent on each one. We spent Christmas Eve with April's family and did the traditional reading on the Nativity and singing. Of course we had lots of food and this year it was held at Scott and Nadine's house in Provo. Christmas Day we went to Mark's family at about 4:00 pm. We had more food there and spent a little time playing Guitar Hero World Tour with two guitars, drums, and a "singer". I put quotes around singer since none of us really are but we had a good time trying.

Riley got a Nintendo DS and we have hardly heard from him since except to show us something about which ever game he is playing. Millie got a new Baby Doll and accessories that she loves along with a bike. We are hoping that she will get to ride it by May with all the snow we have received. April got some sweaters, which she can never seem to have enough of, and Mark got a backup camera for our Suburban.

Well New Year's Day in just around the corner so here are our wishes for you that it may be a happy and prosperous one.
