We spent Christmas this year with my family in Orem. This meant we got up, ate breakfast, opened gifts, drove to Murray to see my dad's side of the family, ate lunch with them, opened more presents, and drove back to Orem. Then my mom's side of the family (my two grandparents and two aunts) came down to eat dinner with us and open another round of presents. It was a lot of fun. The picture above is of my brother Allan with his wrapped spatula and my mom behind him giving him bunny ears. (It is blurry if you look closely, but we decided to post it anyway.)
Nate gave me this book of The Complete C.S. Lewis Signature Classics. It is a very nice copy, and I am pretty excited about it.
Among other really nice things (according to him), I gave Nate this daily Dilbert calendar.
Of course we spent some time playing with our family dog, Apollo, who loves the camera. Actually, he is mostly fascinated by the flash and enjoys trying to "catch" it...
We also visited some friends over our break, including Kristy, Steve, and their baby Jake.
We stopped by to visit some of Nate's extended family too. His cousins had constructed a huge crazy steep sled going down from the top of their house.
Friday night we went with my family to see the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork. They had some pretty cool displays, and it was fun to see and take pictures of.
And Saturday Nate and I went snowshoeing with my brothers Allan and Ben up South Fork Canyon to Big Springs. It was fun, cold, and beautiful! It was also longer than we had planned on, since my brothers decided we should take a different, less traveled route back...
