Merry Christmas 2016

  Well, we did it again!  We had another Christmas!  They seem to come faster every year.  And this year was no different.  It came and went very quickly.

We're down to only 3 filled stockings!  What the heck? :) 

Santa visited on Christmas Eve...

This is Christmas morning...

Of course Ziggy got a new toy also.

And it lasted for about an hour...crazy dog!

Kyle is totally into Pokemon these days...and do you see the smile on his face? :) 

Dallin loves these 3D puzzles.  This one is from Harry Potter.  It's the Astronomy Tower.  Pretty cool, eh?  875 pieces!

And these are little Pokemon creatures that you put together (kind-of like Legos).  He'll have fun building those.  Dallin's into Pokemon right now too.  It's because of a new app (game) called Pokemon Go.  It is mostly played on your phone.  Every teenager, child, and even some adults are totally into this game.  It has made Pokemon very popular lately.

Jacob got a pill Kendama (a second one).  He loves playing with these little toys.  They take some practice, but they are fun.  (At least it's not another video game!) 

Kyle got a new ipod!  Now he can play Pokemon Go too! (He doesn't have a phone.)  Poor Kyle...

Ever since Frozen came out, Jacob has wanted a little "Sven." 

And this year he finally got one...

This is a keyblade from the game "Kingdom Hearts."  Now that's a real smile! :) 

Jacob really wanted some "Heely's."  They are special shoes with removable wheels in the bottom.  They're pretty cool.

I think Todd is trying to figure out what this "sword" is all about...(Oh, I mean "keyblade."  Don't tell Kyle I called it a sword.) :) 

Me and Todd on Christmas morning...

This was pretty much our first real snowstorm of the season.  It definitely snowed and just in time for Christmas! 

Christmas was on a Sunday this year.  So we all went to church at 11:00.  We just had Sacrament meeting that day.  It's always nice to have Christmas on a Sunday when we can all worship Christ on the actual day of His birth.  It is His birthday, after all.

We had a great Christmas!  And the best part?  We got to talk to Brandon!!!!  But guess who forgot to take any pictures?  Yeah, that would be me! It was still a wonderful conversation though and Eric and Andraea were able to come and talk with him too.  Grandma Johnson was there also.  It was a great visit and the perfect present for all of us!

Merry Christmas!  :)
