Christmas 2008

We had a great, relaxing Christmas this year. Mostly "Family Down Time". We read, watched movies, helped out on a couple of service projects. Baby George had a couple of parties at the house. After our stake New Year's Eve dance, George invited a number of the YM/YW over for a waffle breakfast. They ate, and played games until around 4:00 AM. Some of the YM spent the night at our house.....they woke up around 8:00 AM and went to the Ward football game. I thought they played quite well given the amount of sleep they had! Allison had a small get together at the house last night with college friends home from school, and other friends from the ward. They ate pizza, talked, watched movies, etc. Low key and enjoyable. Allison is flying back to BYU today (Jan 2nd). Overall, we had a very nice, memorable holiday. Now back to work!!
