Merry Christmas!

Christmas 2009...
Christmas Eve we spent the evening at Aunt Kathy's house with the White extended family. The hugging tradition was continued and spiced up when my cousin Cameron picked me up off the floor. It was completely unexpected and quite shocking. I was first off glad that I didn't break him, and then I was amazed at how different the world looks from his height.
I spent that night at my parents' house and then we opened presents with Mason, Taylor, Emma, and the parentals Christmas morning.
We spent the rest of the day with the Grovers at Grandma and Grandpa's house with the traditional sourdough pancakes, fried eggs, English Toffee, peanut brittle, pink popcorn, salmon cheeseballs, and clam chowder.
It was a good day. My new red Kitchenaid will be put to good use! :)

Santa Claus spends a lot of time unloading his bag at the White house!

I got Emma a bunch of picture frames for Christmas that were so cute!

Taylor enjoys aggravating all of us by cheering for BYU simply because she goes to school there. She could really care less about the rivalry, but likes to ruffle feathers. So, I helped fuel the fire...

My mom sewed the edging on the blanket and it was really nice. Don't worry, I bathed and scrubbed with strong soap after handling this fabric!

Couldn't leave Mason on his own with Taylor's new BYU gear....

Mason, Taylor, and I got our parents' tickets to the Michael Buble concert. I got scolded because I lied about the tickets' availability. :)

We're pretty talented to be able to fit that many people in that room. It didn't used to seem like such a small room...

Grandma Shirley was able to join us for breakfast and presents. It was fun to have her there.
