A Christmas to Remember

I hope everyone had a Christmas filled with lighted trees, sugar cookies, hot chocolate, presents, and being with the ones you love. Ours indeed had this items involved but they were more in the background. Instead our Holiday was over taken with coughing, high fevers, motrin, throw up, throw up, and more throw up. I think we went at least a week having to change the bedding every night on at least two beds. So although it wasn't as restful as we had hoped. We loved being able to spend Christmas with all our family and celebrate the birth of our Savior.


Here we are on Christmas Eve heading into the Nalder's Christmas Eve Party. You might be wondering why there is no picture of Gabe sitting on Santa's lap. He got a little embarrassed when Santa called his name so he started beating his mother and refused to participate in the whole sitting on Santa's lap thing. Which to be honest I can totally understand.






The kids are showing off their favorite present Santa brought them this year.






Here are the Mouritsen boys showing off their new BYU gear. And yes, my family are huge Utah fans. So you can see the battle between the blue and red below. Don't let the smiles fool you.

There's no doubt it was a Christmas to remember and also one to forget!! Hope you all are feeling better. We loved having you here. Having the kids here on Christmas morning was so fun. We really miss you guys! We love all the pictures--Megs you look beautiful as always. I love Gabe trying not to smile. And what can we say about the Y vs. U picture--you can just feel the tension in the air! Love you all!

It was a christmas to remember. It felt a little off this year with us and our kids being sick the whole time you were out. We love having you guys out here and Nelson misses his cousins so much! Your pictures all look very cute and I am glad I finally got to see Sadie in her dress(she looks VERY CUTE!)We miss you all and can't wait to see you in the spring.(Maybe Gabe won't tell me I am fat after I have the baby)
