We had such a fun Christmas!! It was definitely a white Christmas...it has been snowing all week, and is still going at it!
Well, Christmas morning started out with a "bang!" Really! Spencer had asked if we could shoot our gun early Christmas morning like the Colonial people did. People would shoot back and forth for awhile to welcome the day. So of course Ryan was more than happy to get out his gun and fire 6 shots to wake up the kids...although we uh, didn't hear any shots back from joyful neighbors. It was fun to at least see the neighbors horses get a nice early run around their pasture! (hee hee...I am reminded of the joy of this horse loving, llama hating neighbor on 4th of July when Derek lit off a huge pile of fire crackers!)
The biggest excitement on Christmas morning, was finding a new Golden Retriever puppy! After the kids had opened all their presents and started playing, Ryan pretended to be mad and said with a sly grin- "Kids, go clean out that messy car! It looks like there have been animals living in it it's so bad!" They stopped what they were doing, hung their heads, and sadly went out to the car with grocery bags, ready to clean it out.We shut the door behind them... then in a minute heard excited cries-"A puppy! A puppy!" Ryan had hidden it in a box in the car. (He had left at 6 am for Idaho Falls to go pick it up and hurried back before the kids woke up).
Spencer claims this has been the best Christmas ever!

That is every kids dream to get a puppy for Christmas. Or at least my kids dream. I am glad you had a fun Christmas.
Jackson is so cute! What a cuddly little face! I love the picture of him and Porter practically nose to nose.
Thanks for posting all about Christmas and putting up the pictures. If we can't spend the holidays with you, this is the next best thing!
