Another great Christmas has come and gone. I didn't take many pictures--too caught up in the whirl of things, I guess. But I'll share what I do have! After wrapping up finals at work, we dove into all of the Christmas preparations.We had a fun Gee Family party on the 22nd, with food and white elephant gifts.
On Christmas Eve, we had all of our kids here. We had a big "Sunday dinner" that Kory always prepares. Then we took some Christmas gifts to a family in our ward, came back and did The Nativity. After that, we all shared Christmas memories. Then, Austin shared a slideshow he had created from all of the kids baby pictures. Everyone loved it and was crying a bit. After that, all of the kids spread out in the basement and spent the night playing games, watching movies, and waiting for Santa.
On Christmas morning, we gathered in our room for family prayer.
Then we gathered on the stairs to head down and see what Santa brought.
Everyone was excited about their presents and had a good time. After some breakfast and playing around for awhile, the kids headed to their mom's house. Kory and I cleaned up a little and then headed to my mom and dad's for Christmas dinner. After eating, the guys watched basketball and the girls had fun coloring in all of the cool grown-up coloring books people got for Christmas.
This week started off with a little lunch get-together with some of the Gee cousins who were available. It was designated "Gee Girl Cousins" but some of the guys decided to crash the party. It was great to catch up with everyone. I love my cousins!
Phoebe and Isaac used the time off from school to get their wisdom teeth out! Good times. They've been helping each other through the process.
Looking forward to the new year.

We bought a hover board before we realized they could blow up. So far, still in one piece. |
