Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

Okay, here we are on January 8 and Seth still tells everyone, "Merry Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!" What can I say, we had a memorable Christmas.

I guess it is about time that I start to jump back on the blog bandwagon...wouldn't ya say??? Well, we had a great Christmas with lots of food, family, presents, time off work (for Scott), and fun. It was so fun this year to have Seth understand and actually appreciate the season. Although, he did learn quickly about Santa, we also tried to teach him about the true meaning of Christmas. It was fun one day to catch him carrying up all his stuffed animals to show the the "baby Jesus" in our nativity. It is amazing how quickly he learns. Scott is convinced that he is brilliant. I, also, believe he is brilliant, but tend to think that every parent thinks their child is brilliant.

Here are a couple of cute shots on Christmas morning.



We also had our annual Orvin Family Christmas Party at Sherwood Hills in Logan Canyon this year. We had a great time eating (that is what I call a good time!), visiting, and seeing Santa. We showed up a little early so we had some good swim time. Here are a few pix.


Overall, it was a great holiday season. Scott was home a lot and we were able to spend lots of quality time together. Tyler and Deb, Nick and Megan, and Isaac and Kelsie were all in town during the holidays, so we were able to spend time with all of them. We are so blessed to have wonderful families and friends. Thank you all! We sure love you. You enrich our lives!

It is funny how kids don't forget. Jacie thinks Santa is coming again. It is still Christmas because there is still snow and when we get new snow that means Santa is coming!! I am glad that you guys had a good Christmas. It was fun to spend time with you guys. Thanks again for all the presents. See ya soon.
