Christmas!

Christmas was spectacular this year! We spent it in Salt Lake with both our families. It was especially fun with Marley because she really loves Santa. :) Irie had a great time eating wrapping paper and tags.
Christmas Eve was spent with both families. I don't know how we do it, but we somehow find a way to do both. The girls were spoiled from both Grandparents and Great-Grandparents. The picture on the bottom right is Carl's sister, Kini, who made all of her gifts. They were so special.

I know all parents say it, but the time flies by too quickly. I can't believe Irie is so big!

This is my Grandma, Agnes. She is so sweet-- it is lovely seeing her each time we are able to visit "home."

One of Marley's favorite gifts was a "Beauty and The Beast" tea set. She had a great time playing with cousin's and Uncle Bubbers aka Eric.

Christmas morning was spent at my parents house. It was so fun to watch Marley wake up and run down the stairs to see what Santa had brought for her. Even Emmy (the dog) got a gift from my parents. She is a kid too! :)

We feel so blessed that my parents always open up their house to us. It is actually a lot of fun staying in my old room with Carl. And there is so much room that each of the girls get their own rooms!

Christmas Day afternoon was spent at Carl's parents house and Auntie Beta and Uncle Raymond's house. We always look forward to their house because of the delicious food and great company. Marley loves her "cousin's" Simon and Piers.
