Christmas OEight

Once again a successful Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve and Morning in Heber and then drove to Logan. It was the whitest Christmas I've ever seen, Highway 40 had feet of snow but thankfully the storm hadn't hit the rest of state (yet!). It was all good though because it meant 18 inches of fresh snow at The Beav. Not quite the 30 inches Deer Valley got but it still held up for two days of skiing down to Spring Road.

Here are some photos from the events:
Most of the cousins on Christmas Eve in their new pajamas.
This is pretty much how Lily rolls.
Jack woke up excited but had no idea why. It must have been because his cousins were already up and running around up stairs. You can't see it in this picture but a minute later Jack opened his stocking and to his delight was an apple! After that it was like "hey Jack look you got new skis!" and he was all "It's a Red Delicious!"
He could still mostly play without letting the apple out of his sight.
Lily had a blast sitting with Grandma and observing the action. She was mostly indifferent about the clothes but the wrapping and ribbons were the best.

Everyone playing later that morning, mostly with other people's toys. Jack tries to once again horde Hallie's balls and Ollie plays with Jack's helicopter. Elena was the lucky one because nobody else seemed to want to play with her dolls and dresses. At least one kid we didn't have to listen to yell "Mine!" over and over and over.

In Logan Lily dazzled as one of three baby Jesus and gave new meaning to the phrase "I scream, you scream, we all scream for (Great Grandpa Emmett's) ice cream!"
