Kenny and Jeni Romney

December has gone by so quick! At the beginning of the month Anna was baptized. Mom and Dad came up from Vegas and her Gibbons Grandparents came up as well. There were also a bunch of friends who came. After the baptism service all were invited back to the house for treats and socializing. All the adults stayed downstairs and chatted, afraid to go upstairs due to all the screaming and door slamming noises! It was fun.

As Christmas approached we decorated the inside and outside of the house. December is the only time of year when the attic is almost empty. The kids get so excited to see the lights and the giant blow up snowman in the front yard. We got a lot of snow this season. We actually had a White Christmas this year! It was really fun.

Dad came up for Christmas and we had a great time. He arrived on Christmas Eve. We took the kids to planet kid for a few hours to play while Jeni prepared for the dinner party that night. We had a few other families over for Christmas Eve dinner. We ate a lot of food and let all the kids play. After dinner we had a little reenactment of the Nativity story. All the kids dressed up as Mary, Joseph, sheppards, wise men, and of course Andrew was the donkey!

Christmas day we opened presents in the morning, ate breakfast cake and eggs, and watched a lot of movies. The kids played with their new toys and there were some pretty intense games of Risk. The day after Christmas we went sledding. Each of the kids got a sled from Santa. So we had to go try them out. There were only some minor collisions and crashes. One sent Becca flying a couple of feet in the air and another sent Daniel inadvertently over a small jump that dumped him out of his sled!

After Dad went home we went to Burley to Visit Jeni’s parents. While there we exchanged presents with them and then took the 4 older kids skiing. It was a lot of fun and all the kids did great skiing. By the end of the day they all loved skiing!

Well we hope you all had a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

Love,

The Boise Romneys
