Here are some other holiday photos from our time home in Rexburg. Mason and Brooklyn were in the "Wizard of Oz Christmas" play at school. They did a good job memorizing their parts!

We had Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa Allen, Lindsay, Jeff and Brett before we left for Oregon. We read the Christmas story and the kids explained the nativity to us.

We skyped with my Mom, Z, and Mame while we opened Christmas gifts from them and the kids loved it! Also, all of the crying between my mom and I meant that Z bought her a ticket to come visit in January! YES!

For actual Christmas, Dave and I were in Oregon. We had lots of fun with our friends the Floyds and the Wittys, but it definitely didn't feel like Christmas. Plus, Dave had a 5 hour surgery on Christmas Day! Boo! Can't wait to be back home next year!
