Christmas 2023

Tanner and Emilie got to come home for Christmas.  We missed Katie in Panama.  Emilie flew up Thursday night December 21st from St George.  Tanner was in Colorado for a game, so he flew in from Colorado Friday afternoon.  It was so fun to have them home! (We also played lots of games, but forgot to take any pictures of us playing games.)

We went to dinner at Boston's on Friday night after Tanner got here.

Tanner, Emilie, Garret and I played pickle ball on Saturday morning.  Garret and I are still the reigning champions.

We went bowling on Saturday afternoon.  Kirt even came with us.




Emilie and I put a puzzle together!


Saturday night we had a really yummy dinner.  The land flipping people that Kirt does coaching for sent him some steaks, porkchops, lobster tails, bread, and tarts so we cooked it all up for dinner tonight.  Plus we had to add some tater tots of course.  It was so yummy.  Pompa came for dinner because Grammy is in Utah at aunt Barbara's funeral.

Sunday we had Christmas Eve church.  We just had sacrament meeting.



After church, Emilie and I made gingerbread houses.


We went to Grammy and Pompa's on Christmas Eve.  We ate tons of food, opened our PJ's, played the muffin tin game (bounce a ping pong ball into the muffin tin with a number on it and get the prize under the cup with that number), Bingo, Jackpot, and Deal or No Deal.  Then we acted out the Nativity and had a talent show.





Jon's family PJ's were the Simpons
Cam's family PJ's were Harry Potter
Our family shirts said "It's game time"
Bingo-Jon was an awesome caller

Kirt, Tanner, Emilie, and Garret sat in the hot tub on Christmas Eve



Christmas morning
Katie got to watch us open presents. Her package did not make it to her on Christmas.  (She did get it on New Year's thankfully.)
Emilie and Tanner talked Garret into getting these awesome ear muffs for Kirt.  When you squeeze the tails the ears move. I'm sure Kirt will wear it everywhere.

We went to see Willy Wonka at the downtown movie theater on Christmas afternoon with the Crandalls
