Early Christmas

Because my sister Ali and her family were in town for Thanksgiving, we decided to celebrate Christmas a little early; mostly among the cousins.  The kids had a blast opening gifts from each other and from Grandpa and Grandma. Two Christmases are always better than one!

And last but not least..the favorite actually....pillowpets all around!

Darin had Kirk's name so he also opened his gift.

Kirk's favorite: church books and a GC to Deseret Book

Kennedy calls Daxton "her baby" and he loves it!

We started out the day getting pictures of all of the grandkids together. With three, 3 yr olds and four under the age of 1, it was quite a task.  I'm sure the photographer breathed a sigh of relief when we left, but the end product was perfect! Even though not everyone was smiling, or looking at the camera all at the same time, the pictures showed each grandkids personality perfectly.   Of course, Olivia was a cheeser, and Dax looked like he had no idea what was going on and couldn't care less.

What a great day!

We love family time!
