Busy December

We had such a fun and busy December. One of the best things that happened this December is that my 81-year-old Grandpa, a.k.a. Papa, was baptized as a member of our church. It was such an exciting day for our family! We had my sisters' family here visiting from Ohio, so they came over one night and made gingerbread houses with us. We had a wonderful Christmas! Nate worked Christmas Eve night, but was able to get off about 2:00 a.m. so he could get a couple hours of sleep before the kids made him get up so they could open presents.
Then we all went over to my sister, Kristi's house for a big dinner and gift exchange. It's pretty crazy when all of us get together, but so much fun!
My mom's sister, Aunt Carla, came from Arizona for Christmas. That was so fun to have her here too!Then, to begin our 2010 year, Roman (Nate's brother) and Roberta (his wife) came up to visit from Utah. Roberta's brother, Eduardo, was also here visiting from Brazil.

My grandma was baptized when she was 83 years old and a couple of months before she got really sick, she had the opportunity to go to the temple and get sealed to all her family. It's never too late!
We had tons of fun in Idaho too!
