We got to spend some quality time with family; made treats, worked on Christmas crafts, watched girly movies and cheesy Christmas shows. And best of all, my sister and I got some much needed time away from our lovely little ones and they got to spend time with each other and Grandma and Grandpa. It worked out well for all. Since everyone was there except Jason, we celebrated Christmas while we were there. Complete with acting out the nativity:
It was the most interesting and short re-enactment I've ever witnessed, much less been a part of.

All four of the grandkids got lots of good stuff and loved opening presents. Addie had a hard time when there was nothing left to open.

One of Addie's favorite gifts was a Snow White dress. She loves Snow White! She had to put it on immediately, of course. Later cousin Thomas tried it on and I think he looked quite dashing:

Here's Grandma and Grandpa with all the grandkids. There are no words, but they were having a good time.

While we were there we were able to go down to Salt Lake (which will always be a magical place at Christmastime in my mind) to visit MY Grandma Dexter, who is serving a mission at the Family History Library. We walked around temple square a bit and took the opportunity to get this . . . photo . . . opportunity.

We are so glad you guys came out, we had so much fun!
Thomas is rather pretty, isn't he?
I wish we could have seen grandma Dexter as well. It looks like you had a good time.
What a wonderful time with grandma, grandpa, and cousins. Glad you got to go and enjoy your family. I love the picture of Kirk and Andres! And the 4 generation of Dexter women.
I'm glad you got to spend time with your family, that is a Christmas present in itself!
