We had the wonderful experience of having our whole family gather with us for the Christmas holiday. Todd, Heather, Brienna, Breydon and Bethany came from Washington; Mic, Libby and Kate joined us from their home in Ogden, UT; Brandon and Colleen Lofthouse joined us Friday night and Saturday morning from Boise; Richard, Becca and Nike flew in from Indiana; Nathan, Eve, and children, Lydia, Anna, Sam and Sarah came from California; Mistie and her husband, Ben Barfus and five children, Emma, Eliza, Rachel, Brigham and Hazel, made the grueling 16 hour trip from southeast AZ; Jenny and Matthew Davis came up from Pleasant Grove, UT; and Matthew drove up to join his wife, Nikki, and new baby, Lynlee, who had flown up earlier from AZ.
We met at the Bountiful Temple on Friday night, to celebrate Marcus' 39th birthday, by going to the temple to do his endowment.
Sleeping 30+ people at our home was a real party and waiting for Santa with 15 grandchildren is quite exciting.
Christmas on Sunday morning was really special, especially with my own children to sing with us in the ward choir.
We have been truely blessed this year as a family. We cherish friends and family and our membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
