December Miscellany

Thought I'd throw in a few miscellaneous December photos before we leave on our big holiday extravaganza in a couple of days.

Morgan's Birthday

On Morgan's actual birthday, we had homemade cinnamon rolls, and he opened gifts from us & his grandparents. On the 13th, we did a big LOTR party. We had a total of 17 kids in the house. It was an awesomely fun and loud time! This definitely ranks as one of my favorite parties to do so far.

Thanksgiving with the Smiths

Nathan is overseas this year, so our good friends the Smiths came up from Salt Lake City to spend Thanksgiving with us. It was an awesome time of cooking, crafting, hymn singing, and cheesy movie watching.
