I can't believe it is the 11th of January and I am just writing about Christmas. We had a lot of fun over this Christmas season. It is always nice to see family and friends. One of my favorite parts of December is getting fun mail, photos and letters of family and friends. We have a few traditions that we enjoy every year. To name a few; The John Shmit concert, Dinner at our place with Mom and Dad McConkie, Melissa's ornament party, annual get together with my friends from the tenth ward,Garner/Baird party, Mcconkie party, Christmas eve dinner and p.j's from the Christmas elves. This year we had an extra special Mcconkie party with extended family. It was really fun to have Grandma Beth there. The grate grand kids did the nativity. Eli and Hyrum were shepherds. Eli had a wrapping paper tube for his sheperds crook. He got a little board during the nativity and started to hit Hyrum on the head with it. Hyrum ignoring him at first, then he would swat it away every so often after about five minutes of this Hyrum stood up, grabbed the tube, threw it on the floor and stomped on it. It was funny to watching there personalities. It was a wonderful to see everyone and to spend time with Grandma.
Christmas eve was almost as much fun as Christmas day. There was a knock at the door, all the kids started yelling and ran to answer it. They found four presents on our door step. The Christmas elves had come again. Eli was so excited he couldn't stop jumping and yelling. I love seeing the kids with grins they cant wipe off there faces. Soon Christmas day came and went. Jane's favorite thing she got was a ant farm and some magic tree house books(She would tell you, she is just so grateful for everything she got), Eli's favorite was a buzzlightyear suitcase, Hyrum is in dino heaven and Walt got some cute blocks that he loves to sort. We are so grateful for all our blessings. We are most thankful at this time of year for Jesus Christ and our family:)
