Christmas 2010, Better Late Than Never

I haven't had the time to put together a proper Christmas post, so this assortment of pictures will have to do. Christmas seemed to fly by this year but we were able to have lots of fun and see lots of family! 

Naomi was so excited to be a Shepherd with James.  I think they spend most of the family party sitting together, and loved it!

Gray and Jaren are reading the Christmas memory books that Grandma Bronson wrote.  What an amazing treasure, to learn about the Christmas's of Grandma's childhood.  Speaking of childhood, Corey sure looks young. 

Aah, the wise man.

A very serious Mary, at this point she is "great with child".

See how happy she is now with her cute baby?

Christmas morning was fun, Gray loved his Vans from Aunt Steph.

Guess who has made waffles every morning for the past month?  In case you're interested, this is the best Belgian waffle mix out there.

Naomi barely made it through opening gifts.  She was so sick all day, she spent most of Christmas day asleep in bed.  It was kind of funny cause the next day she started looking through her presents and it was like Christmas morning all over again.  I think she was pretty out of it the first time she opened them.

Isn't this how Christmas afternoon looks for most of us?  I think this year was a record for us, we didn't get up until 7:30am!

The Last Day of 2010

The last day of the year was a busy one.  We spend most of the day at Beaver Mtn.  Kory and the kids braved the cold (it was below zero much of the day) while I spectated.  After getting home and cleaning up, we went to a USU mens basketball games with the Hills.  Great time hanging out with friends!  The kids were determined to stay up till midnight so we fixed some treats and played a new wii game.  At the stroke of midnight we toasted in the new year with sparkling cider.  Here's to an awesome 2011!

 

Naomi with Kory getting ready for her first fun of the season.

Kory and Naomi finishing up their first run.  Naomi chose to skip a warm up on Little Beaver and went right for The Face.

Gray and Kory went down the backside.  This was Gray's first time and he loved it.  I need to add that at the point where I say "Gray ate it" he made it clear that he did not crash, just kind of got stuck in the powder.
