A Very Merry Christmas

 We started our Christmas celebration this past weekend at the (Granny and Grandpa) Ogden home.

 Grandpa Ogden playing "Sorry" with Douglas, Jude, and Gideon.

Sam made a yummy roast for Christmas dinner.
It was really, really good - "put-you-to-sleep" good.
 Gathering for a short Christmas program in the living room.

 Singing Christmas songs


 Denali loves her Grandpa.
 "Oh yeah, this is Christmas."
Lightning McQueen!
 The adults played a game of Rook after our Christmas program.  At one point Sam went downstairs to check on the little people and she found that Maxwell, Douglas, and Denali had set up their own "Sorry" game.

Sunday, after our one-hour Christmas Eve church program, getting ready to go to Grandma Coombs's house.

Doogles really likes this green Christmas present.  I call it his donkey, but the little man insists it's a horse.
Grandma's house - I came downstairs to find Penny and Doogles playing with Grandma at the little picnic table.

"Hey guys!  I have something to say!"
"I won!"  Multiple board/card games were played through the hours of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.

These are no ordinary wisemen.  They're from the east side.
Wearing my Christmas shirt on Christmas morning.
I love the customized stockings Grandma (Margaret) made for everyone.
Skyping with his Aunt Kate on Christmas morning.  Kate is currently serving a church mission in Florida.  Mormon missionaries are allowed to call home twice each year, for Mother's Day and Christmas.

Look at all those happy faces!  Life really is about family, and serving the Lord.




Jori, who is pregnant with a boy, received this hilarious Christmas card.
Aaaaaah, the Christmas afternoon nap.
Post-feeding contentment.

Twas a very merry Christmas, indeed.  Bring on 2018!
