A Very Woodstock Christmas!

The drive to Ogden was long. We had a crack in our windshield that spread clear from one side to the other by the end of the drive. It made our windshield frost over, and we had a hard time seeing the road. The kids were fabulous though. Grace hardly made a sound, and the "bubble yum" kept the kids blowing bubble's for a long time (everyone even kept it in their mouths).




Ogden was a world of white and we had a blast. We used Grandma's "snowman kit"and built a snowman, and then found a great sled park. The kids would have stayed forever if we let them. Even the big boys had fun!

Scott went down the hill with all the little boys on his back. When he got back to the top his face and glasses were frosted over from a face full of snow the entire way down. We love you Scott and so do your nephews!

Kimball wrote a Christmas eve program complete with music, clowns, announcer and nativity. Check out our version of a donkey (PST..it's Scott)! Grandpa Woodstock also showed a slide show of all of his children in younger years. It was fun reminiscing.

The Woodstock home was filled to the brim with 20 people staying there. You can tell Santa stopped by!


My girls were up at 5:30 a.m. eating their Christmas cereal (a Woodstock tradition). We had to wait another hour and a half for the rest of the kids to wake up.


We had a sleepy start, but then the frenzy began and every present was open in about an hour.

Kimball made homemade presents for everyone. These are the bracelets she made all of her uncles.

But Jaden gave me the best Christmas present of all. The last month a little elf has been doing jobs for me around the house and leaving stickers. Jaden told me it was him and wished me a merry Christmas! He was determined not to let me know it was him and worked so hard. I couldn't be prouder!
