This is a really long post...my mom, dad, and brother Zak came over to celebrate Christmas with us and this is just a couple of the pictures of the fun things that we did. We had so much fun having them here and can't wait for them to come visit again. When they left Laney and Ty both packed their backpacks and were ready to go back to Germany with them. Anyway, here's a little summary of what we did. Enjoy!! (Sorry the pictures are out of order since they keep deleting when I try to move them around....)
We went to Temple Square to see the lights.
Here's the modern men walking with the kids.....
Ben, Zak and I went to a Jazz game.....Zak's a Jazz fan now.
Ogden train museum.
Zak and my dad driving the trains.
Hill Air Force base where the kids got to be pilots.
Morfar and Zak as jungle jims.
Ty playing with Morfar. Morfar getting a good leg work-out..... :)
One day we went to a school in the area where there's a really nice sledding hill. This is Laney going down all by herself in the inner tube.
Ben brought his snowboard and Zak did really well on it.
Laney used a plastic bag for a little bit and kept turning backwards when she was going down....
Fun puppet shows to watch.
Lots of Wii playing going on....
On Christmas morning we opened our stockings....what fun things we all got.
Ty opening his stocking.
Dancing around the Christmas tree on Christmas Eve.....
I put an extra picture on here just for you, Val. :)
Cuddling with Zak. What a nice, patient uncle....always ready to play whatever the kids wanted...what a brother! Tak Zak!
On Christmas Eve we acted out the Nativity Story. Ben was Joseph and Laney was Mary.
Ty was a very tired angel...
Mormor and Morfar were the wise people.....they just saw the star....
I was a lone shepherd....with weird bangs....hmmm, I don't know what happened there.
They wise people came with the gifts for baby Jesus.
Ty thought that Morfar was a climbing wall and used it frequently.
Cleaning up after we took the Christmas tree out....wow, what a mess.
One day we drove around the valley and saw the new temples being built. We also stopped at the little airport in West Jordan where they have cool helicopters sitting around....dang it, I was going to remember the names of them.....blast!
Everybody digging into the Christmas dinner. Tak Mor for al din hjaelp! I couldn't have done it without my mom's help.

I'm so glad you guys got to spend some time with your family Nadja!!! Looks like you guys had fun and did a lot of cool things.
You Actally had a crib and a lamb! For our crib, we turn the stool upside down. I don't think we have a lamb. Oh, and for the donkey, we used a unicorn......

Nadja, you make me laugh! I love the awkward bangs, you silly shepherd!

Hello, this is Joel, Ben, I am jealous of that new TV, when did you get it, I like it, oh yeah good job on all the exciting holidays with fams.
Oh, how happy! I love all the fun times you had with your family. Christmas is so awesome anyway, but how much better it must've been with your family in town! Thanks for the extra dancing around the Christmas tree just for me.. I'm copying you on this one! I love how the kids climbed all over your Dad and brother all the time.. so cute. Everything was, thanks for sharing!
