After having a nice Christmas dinner of Turkey, potatoes, yams, salad, rolls and strawberry jello we headed to the living room to exchange Christmas gifts.

Gift exchange from Ashley to Sharae

From Sharae to Landon, and from Landon to Ashley
Landon slept all day to go to work that night.  He got to do the gift exchange and then everyone said good-bye and he was off to work.

Saying good-bye to Landon.

Landon got a nice I-pod alarm clock from Rae. "I like this, I have still been using my same alarm clock from High School".
Rae gave Bill and movie basket with a movie, candy and popcorn.  Thanks Rae.


I asked Rae for a new picture of her family.  She had some nice pics on her blog so she had one made for me.  She also made in Relief Society an emergency kit for my car.  "I love it Rae"


I love homemade gifts.

Rae opening her Christmas present from Bill and I, she got 2 new PJ sets, one for winter and one for summer.

Bill is explaining the Cook "Cookbooks" to Joe and how over all the years they were compiled together into one nice book.



I am helping Asher put on his new PJ's from mamo and papo.

Asher got a car PJ set and story book that makes car sounds from Bill and I.  Sharae did not want the kids to get alot of toys since they have so many.



Ian loves his toy story PJ's from mamo and papo with the nice activity book to go with it.

Thanks mamo and papo

I am making sure everything fits just right.

Giving a Christmas hug.

Wow!I love it.

getting ready to open mamo and papo's present.


Ashley gave Rae some cuddly PJ's.  They are so cute.

This was definitely a PJ Christmas this year.



Asher admiring the cars on his feet.




Bill and I were worried about getting the right size for the boys.  But they fit perfectly.

Italian chocolates from mom and dad from their trip to Europe.

Dad got Rae some sketcher "shape up" shoes.


A shirt with Paris written on it.  Since we went to Paris we gave the girls each a shirt.

Joe got some nice cuddly PJ's from Bill and I.  Sharae was excited to cozy up with Joe when it is cold.








Hey! Hi Jessie

Ash opening the food storage bag we gave each of the kids for Christmas.  It included all of my homemade canning, such as pears, peaches, salsa, stewed tomatoes, jalapeno jelly to put over cream cheese and eat with crackers-yummy good. Also some dehydrated apples, tomatoes and macayos salsa. 

Last but not least we put in the food storage bag some warm winter hats.  (A friend of Bill's made them for our family, we each got one).


Ashley's Paris shirt.

jess got some cozy PJ's too.


Thanks mom and dad



Landon gave Ashley some of his homemade beef jerky (which he puts special spices on and dehydrates it, his special receipe) and a "life for flight" shirt from Primary Childrens hospital (where he works).  I love it Landon-Thanks.

Jess is excited to have the jerky to eat on their trip to Colorado Springs.
