First and foremost- HAPPY 8 month birthday to lil' Joseph!!   I think it was a good day for him.  He has 3 teeth on top, 3 teeth on bottom, and two more (one top one bottom) coming in soon.  He's a smiley, drooly, laughing boy who loves to follow his big sister around, chase his mama on the floor and give his daddy big slobery kisses on the cheak.  He loves long hair and ears, and will seriously eat anything that is or ISn't given to him.  He's crawling, climbing, crusing, and chatting it up if given the chance.  He seems happy with life and leaves a trail of smiles wherever he goes.  Happy 8 month lil' one!

Today we had a relaxing morning- with Jason home with us- and a beautiful sacrament meeting and Christmas program.  It's so nice that we were able to go to church today to take the Sacrament on Christmas Day.  It just seemed that much more of a special Sabbath Day.

After church, we came home and did our own Christmas, and played around- once again enjoying the FAMILY time that we had!  It was sooooo nice to just chill.  At home. 

Even nicer, was that we went to my parents for a Christmas Dinner!  They cooked an awesome, scrumptious feast for us, and Grandma, and 4 missionaries!  Talk about a full house for the Yukon-ites! :) It was a lot of fun though, and as you can tell, it was a memorable one for everybody.  We made ice cream by rolling all the ingredients in this cool ball/contraption thingy.  Not only was it entertaining, it was yummy!  I think they busted out the sodas too.

It was really neat to be able to spend so much time with family this weekend.  What a great season to come together and share memories.

(Oh no!! It took me 15 minutes to type this, so it's 15mintues into December 26th!  Well, read everything assuming it's still Sunday the 25th....)
