Christmas 2009 was a blast!!!! We were able to spend time with so much family. First it was my family in Orem. We were so lucky to have my sister in law Adriana's parents, Maru, Isma, and brother, Ismael, from Mexico come and join us! It was amazing to compare different Christmas traditions, weather, languages, food. Oh my, the food! I get delirious just thinking about all.the.food. I just gained ten pounds remembering. With my mom cooking all of our Christmas favorites and then Maru and Isma making the best food I've ever had, I almost died of happiness, and gluttony.

My mom made all of these blankets for the grandkids.

After Christmas, we went back to Dan's sister, Sariah's house - where we were living- and Dan's sister Shannon from Seattle was visiting. They had some fun toys for Ash and Adrienne, which they were thrilled to play with and get so much attention. I loved being around so much family for the Holidays!

Merry Christmas 2009
