Not all of these were either photographed or done today. Just so you know.
This is a fun gingerbread house that Kris helped Max make. Max did all the decorating. The kit was donated by a sweet friend.
The playful penguin race. This thing is super fun, but SO so SO loud and obnoxious. It squeaks and squeaks the whole time that the penguins are climbing the stairs and sliding down the ramps. Thus it is only allowed to be out a few days before Christmas. This results in a few solid days of squeaking penguins, but at least it's fun and hard won entertainment for Max.
Present wrapping with Boys. This was the other day after we went and got Max's present for Kris. They're cute, aren't they?
Our archway of Christmas cards. I love Christmas cards, so I send out a bunch and this year we've gotten a ton back which makes me very happy. I love seeing friends and family's faces up there!
Speaking of, in case you didn't get one, here's our Christmas card. The photo was taken by my friend Renatha in our ward, and I did the card design.
The couch in the desert was Kris's idea, and since he used the Land Rover to get it out there, he's pretty proud of it all. That is essentially our back yard, by the way.
We have another shot from this session up on the wall of the office. People like it.
I have more, but now we have to get ready to go out--Max's school teacher invited us to their church's Christmas Eve service and we're going to go and check it out, along with lights and festivities downtown. We'll be back home for scripture reading, Christmas Eve present opening and not sleeping (Max & Sandy). If I can get the rest of the festivities posted I will!

Fun, so much fun--the best time of year. THe only thing that could make it better would be all of us being able to be together.
I love you <3
Thanks for sharing your festivities with us. We wish we could be there to give you big hugs. You look and sound happy .
Love to you all
Dad
YAY!! Sanny is so LONG and big. Max is so dang good-lookin'. Penguins are so LOUD. Where is the rest of Sultan's body in the couch picture? (I have this vision of a hole cut in the back of the couch and his back end standing there sticking out of it.) Fun shots. Fun family. Wish you were here. Love, love, love!
Lots of festive fun going on that is for sure. Glad you are all happy and healthy. I love my ornaments. Thanks you so much. Love you guys.
Oh MAN! I LOVED those penguins when I was max's age, but you're right, the excessive equaling does get horrible. I'm surprised that our set didn't ever get the batteries removed in a fit of insanity.
Loved loved loved getting your card. I thought for sure you photo shopped that couch. No? Even more incredibly fun!
Sorry no card from us, yet. :D
