Better late than never...

Christmas this year was a whirlwind adventure including a harrowing drive through Wyoming and visits to all of our Utah family. We spent Christmas Eve with Grandpa Terry and Grami Tami (Spencer's dad and stepmom) and Christmas Day with Grandma Cathryn and Kurt (Spencer's mom and her boyfriend). We also spent Spencer's birthday with some of our very best friends, the Loveridges who were in town from Vegas. We visited Temple Square with them and marveled at the massive crowds and the beautiful lights.
Milo and Issy reaffirmed their complete adoration for all of their grandparents and their cousins Royan, Olivia and Lyla. Milo got a lesson in eating nuts from the shell by Great Grandpa Manuel and Issy immersed herself in girl-heaven at Grami Tami's.
It was such a fun trip but too short, of course. We missed Abbie, Forrest, and Eli too much for words! We also got to spend a fun afternoon with my mom's side of the family and ate ourselves sick on all the yummy food.

Some of the highlight of the presents this year were the puppet theater (with billions of puppets too!), scooters, babies and more babies, a tea set, books, new childsize pillows, a computer game, doll clothes, a stuffed dog with a carrier, a train whistle, new trains, a toy computer, a keyboard and a dollhouse. Whew. What a year!

Here are some of the pictures. We took about 8,907 with our new camera so, you're welcome, for sparing you the scrolling time and only posting a few. :)

I'm happy for you, I really am. BUT these pictures make me want to cry. I miss you guys soooooo much. Christmas didn't feel like Christmas at all with out Utah and family.

Yeah, and you forgot to mention how you were so sad that the AZ Seeleys were at Disneyland this year instead of in Utah.

Yeah, it pretty much sucked that you weren't here. All THREE of you.
