Christmas 2010

This last Christmas was probably the best one yet that we've had as a family. This year Preston understood & knew Santa Clause was coming & that excitement filled our home all month long. It's really all about the kids now & we had so much fun watching them. Caroline was very excited to see Santa Clause this year & even snuggled right up to him at our ward Christmas breakfast. Apparently she was the first kid to run right up to him & when he picked her up, she rested her head on his shoulder & started sucking that thumb of hers. Unfortunately, she was sick with a fever & head cold Christmas morning. It seems like she gets sick on every holiday (knock on wood). We had the video camera all set up & ready to film but had to turn it off b/c she was crying & screaming through most of it. Poor little darling. But we did manage to get some great shots of the kids. This Christmas, Santa Clause brought Preston a Buzz Lightyear bike & tool set & Caroline got a kitchen. We spent Christmas morning with Grandpa Paul & Grandma Jeanette, Uncle Tim's family, Aunt Traci's family & Uncle Travis's family. It was a great Christmas but we were puzzled by all the dense fog outside! I felt like I was back home on the Pacific coast.

One of the only smiles we got out of Caroline that day. Preston, however was happy as a clam!
