Grandpa Ed is the designer and builder of the fancy towers seen in the foreground of this picture.
Here's Simon enjoying all the attention!!
Ben and Glenn were fascinated with the dinosaur puzzle - they played with it for a good 30 minutes!
Emma is enjoying the family party too - (take note of the cute outfit - how many babies do you know that wear satin onesies!!
I gave Kecia her birthday present that night since I had already given Kelly his and we wouldn't be having a birthday party per se for them until Christmas eve.
Now we are back in Layton - this is my tree this year... and who needs Santa to come with this load already under the tree!
We bought this cute display after Christmas in 2006 and then in 2007, since we were in New York for ten days from the 10th through the 20th of December we didn't set up our outside decorations. So this year we had a NEW decoration to our front yard !! And it is sooooo CUTE!! The picture doesn't really give you the full effect. They are much brighter and more sparkly in person.
Here is my cute snowball - sad to say it doesn't blow the snow too well anymore but its still cute.

Here is a full view of our yard this year.
And finally - last but not least - here is what it looks like all together.
Merry Christmas
