Here we are on Christmas morning, looking just beautiful. TJ was sick on Christmas so he slept through a lot of the present opening, which is why he is missing from the picture. We didn't even get up on Christmas until about 8:30, so by the time we opened presents and got "breakfast" on it was 12:30!
Here are all the brothers-in-law who were home for Christmas singing on Christmas Eve while my mom was at the Piano, practicing to play for the Methodist Christmas Eve program. From left to right: Matthew (Val), Ammom (Chalise) and Nick (Michelle) with Seth on his shoulders.
While we were in Utah, we went to the cemetary in Spanish Fork to visit the grave of Thomas David Evans, which is who we named TJ (Thomas Joseph) after. Thomas D. had a wooden leg and he came across the plaines in one of the handcart companies. We thought this was a cool picture with 2 of his decendants visiting his grave 100 years after his death.
One of TJ's favorite activities while we were in Utah was getting in Grandma's cupboards and pulling everything out. He would get out all of the bowls and then go to a different cupboard and start on the pots and pans. It kept him entertained for quite a while, and Grandma didn't mind, so it was a daily activity.
