White Christmas

We went to my parents' home in Providence, Utah for Christmas. It was fun to be together with everyone since we are all spread out across the country. On Christmas Eve it snowed several inches, giving us a true white Christmas. We went to Temple Square and walked around and saw the lights and displays. It was so cold, but beautiful with all the snow.
My parents are really Californians, so we tried to find something that would remind us of being back in California. This was the closest we could find:

Here I am getting slammed:

It's called Flowrider and was supposed to be like surfing, but was more like wake boarding. It was actually a lot harder than it looks. I got so beat up out there and was sore for several days, especially my neck. I seriously got whiplash every time I fell. Jeff was able to pick it up quickly; I guess it helps to be a surfer/boardrider.
Here's Sienna giving someone that glare of her's:
There's my sweet girl!I think Sienna liked the boxes and wrapping paper more than the gifts!

Collin put on some of Grandma's mascara.Sienna loved being with all nine of her cousins.
And, of course a picture of the "triplets:"
This is a picture of them last Christmas at Grandma and Grandad's (same order):We came home yesterday and just in the nick of time; everyone who is still there has some sort of flu bug. We escaped with only coughs and colds. Thanks again, Mom and Dad, for everything! We had a wonderful Christmas!

OK... I Love that picture of her in the group at the Temple with her white hat!!!! SOOOOO CUTE! I love her glare! She is too funny. She is such a good girl though. Maybe someday when she is a senior someone will say, "Can you imagine Sienna Trueman glaring at you!" ha ha! I love her litle sweater vest too. And... I can't believe you did that surfing thing... poor little fetus! Ha ha

For all you speculators out there: No, I am not pregnant! Brooke has always liked to create drama, which is why she was appropriately voted "Most Dramatic" in high school. Watch out, Brookie! It would be very easy for me to leave a comment on your blog about your housecleaner of two years...
