Christmas 2009

Before we left for Utah, we had a party at my parent's house. The kids, of course, had to act out the nativity.

Jackson dressed like an angel for about a minute.

We were in Utah for the actual Christmas day at Grandma Simpson's house. Jacey got a new robe.
Jared was excited about video games.

That night, we ventured out in the cold cold COLD weather to visit temple square. It was seriously like 8 degrees, but I was determined our kids would see it lit up.

The Hamblins met us there. Jared and Isaac.

Unfortunately, because it was Christmas, all the buildings closed at six. We got there at 5:45 PM and that meant we couldn't' go into a building for shelter. We didn't last very long outside. Maybe 20 minutes.

Our family bundled up. Check out my bright $7 boots Lisa found for me in Walmart.
