Christmas Snapshots

Mom and Jim came to visit us in Utah for a proper Christmas celebration this weekend, and every day was full of delight.  Camryn and Tamsin were nearly beside themselves with excitement that Grandma and Pop-Pop  were here to play with them, and the big kids in the family (me and Megan and spouses) felt the same!   We crammed just about every wonderful activity into the week they were here (horrible weather aside) and were treated like royalty by Mom and Jim, who were in turn adored, pestered, entertained, worn out, and loved by their grandchildren and kids.

Here are some glimpses into our holiday revelry!
