This past week has been a busy one at our house. We first hosted our annual Christmas Family Get-together. The Utah and Georgia part of the family were unable to make it, so we were a bit small in numbers, but it was a good time none-the-less. It's always good to get together and catch up.
Then Christmas Eve was held at our house and we had the whole turkey dinner with trimmings. Yum! My sister has been here all week and it's been so nice having her around. She's such a great aunt. She kept the kids busy playing cards, games, making Christmas cookies, etc.
My kids really miss having their aunt around. They love her so much! They're excited to make the trek out to CO to see her and Uncle Dave this summer. We spent Christmas evening reading about the birth of our savior and opening gifts. We even had a surprise visit from Santa!
The next morning the kids got us up at the allowed time of 7:00 and we went down to see what Santa had left. They were all very happy with what they received.
Then it was off to Kirk's parents pretty early for lunch. Justin couldn't have been more excited to have gotten his telescope from his Grandma and Grandpa Sumida! He is really into astronomy right now.
It has been a fun week filled with lots of family...just like we like it!

What a wonderful Christmas we all had! Suz, you did a wonderful job hosting the get-together this year. And Christmas Eve was wonderful too. Wasn't it great having Sandi here this year? So much fun! Hopefully, next time she's here, the kids will be able to be here too.
Good Times:) Gotta love having family nearby. I miss it!!
