Christmas!

We moved to our new house on Saturday, Dec 17th. The next morning, we headed down to Orem for my niece, Makaida's, baby blessing. We spent the next few days unpacking, then took a break and headed up to Idaho for Christmas with the Tophams!
Grandpa took the kids outside for some sledding! Yay!



This picture just makes me laugh.
Maliya tried her hand at snow angels.And after that, we had a BIG "warming-up/cuddles party"! Uncle Dan took advantage of the kids being willing to be held. Rachel even fell asleep on his lap.
One of the days, Rachel walked up to me and said that it was too cold outside. I looked down to find this:
Well, yes, sweetie...coats help but you are going to need more than JUST a coat outside!


Uncle Brandon did a great job at activities for the kids. At one time he made reindeer antlers for each of them!
Even the babies!


And at another time he helped each of them write letters for Santa.


Aunt Sharee organized a nativity play for the kids to put on.



Christmas Eve, Grandma gave each of the kids matching pajamas. Here are the two youngest, Makaida and Katie. Classic. Makaida out cold and Katie just smiling away!And all the older kids...Christmas morning! Waiting to go upstairs!




And before everyone left, we were sure to do some family pictures!
The whole Topham Family:
