Family Christmas Party

(December 2017)

We had such a great Christmas gathering with Romneys family.

It was so nice being able to stay home and let the chaos come to our house. 

I love that Romney has so many siblings, it always makes for such fun parties.

This was our first Christmas since Romneys oldest brother passed away and we all missed him so much. 

 

 We tried to get all the cousins together for ONE picture but a few were still up in Utah for school or on missions or some were outside playing and we didn't realize they were missing. hahaha.

Hey, my two are accounted for. 

But I just love cousins!

I think they are important.

I love that our house was full of people who we love so much!

Romney and Roger are considered "the little brothers" because are the youngest of 8.

After breakfast we did our Nativity that we read from the Bible.

 Each year grammy gives all the grandkids a new ornament. 

This year Miles got a lego dinosaur and Andie got a tinkerbell.

 We do our annual "favorite things" exchange between all the couples

The cousins do a little gift exchange as well. 

Cousin Carson gave Andie this owl beanie that she is obsessed with!

 After all the gifts and breakfast clean up, every room was filled with people playing games for hours.

 Every room and every age found something or someone to play with.

I just loved every second of it.

 Week 4.5 Post Op:

`he put in a new back splash in the kitchen

`lets the kids sit on his lap for reading and they can rest their heads on him

`still cannot lay flat

`still sleeping in the recliner

`isn't holding his heart pillow for support anymore

(coughing, sneezing etc...)

3.5 weeks to a full recovery left!
