What a wonderful Christmas! We thoroughly enjoyed our first Christmas at home, it was so much fun to soak in our little family and the spirit of Christmas. Although, we dearly missed being around all the hugs, chaos, noise and laughter that comes with being with the whole family.
Our "Mary" and "Joseph" sufficed for the reenactment of the Christmas story, Chloe of course willing to be Mary and Porter oblivious to what was going. Ted did some quick costume thinking and made the outfits out of old pillow cases. The kids were so cute and we loved every minute.
Santa brought Chloe and Porter a train set and they have been playing with it ever since. Of course one plays with it and the other just loves to take it all apart (bet you can guess which one that is).
The second week of the holiday break we went to visit family; the Johansen clan in Davenport (Iowa) and the Butterfield clan in Burlington (Iowa). It was so fun and relaxing to visit and play. Chloe especially loved playing with her cousins. Unfortunately, I relaxed too much and never took a picture during this time...oops!
We feel so blessed and grateful for all of our friends and family. What a wonderful time of year!
hmmm.... did "Joseph" wear a bandanna....?
...and a dress? Poor, poor Joseph...

Wow! I can't believe how much they've both grown up! Absolutely adorable! Look like you had a WONDERFUL Christmas!
Well, it looks fun, but we really missed having you in Utah! I can't get anyone to play Scrabble with me.
You guys are so cute! How was it having your first christmas on your own? I've been crocheting a ton lately and thinking of you. You were so patient teaching me to crochet! I've been making some cute stuff, I'll have to post about it soon!
What a fun train table, Ben is going to want to come play everyday! I hope you are alive and well, I sure miss you.
