Well since I've been running around to Phoenix, Santa Barbara, Las Vegas, St. George and back to Santa Barbara....I didn't have time to get my holiday card out to everyone. I had good intentions...we got professional pictures taken, but they didn't come out at all (super bugged about that) so, you'll just have to accept this:
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to all!

That ok?! :)
Here are some pictures from Christmas. Maile and I at the table, Kelsey in her cute red velvet dress, me looking happy as I'm making pie dough, everyone sitting around the dinner table and Grandma and Holly.
Grandma came home on the 23rd which was so nice having her home for Christmas. I think it perked her up being home with everyone, it probably also wore her out. She is doing really good though, she's such a trooper. I love you Gram.
Kelsey got everything a little girl could dream of, a baby doll, a stroller, pots and pans, your baby can read dvd's (which actually work, its amazing!), books and clothes.
We had a great time. I'm sad Christmas is over, 1 month long of Christmas music is just not enough!!!
Holly and I had lots of fun making and decorating gingerbread houses. Holly did all the work of baking and rolling the gingerbread dough and all I did was put mine together...thanks Holly. This recipe and cutouts was my mom's when we used to do them as kids. It seriously has been 15 years since we made them and we had fun doing it. For some reason I don't have a picture of Holly's but hers came out super cute too!
My dear 92 old grandma Ruth had open heart surgery today. She went in last week because she was having trouble breathing...she had fluid forming around her lung because one of her valves was too small. After spending a week in the hospital, they decided it was urgent to have the surgery. The last couple days have been extremely scary, especially today since she went in for the surgery this morning at 7 am. 
Every year our ward does a breakfast with Santa. I was really hoping to get a picture of Kelsey screaming and crying on Santa's lap, but that didn't happen. As usual Kelsey was cool, calm, collective and happy so here it is. :)
