Christmastime

So much of Christmas to me, most likely like in the case of many others, is based on the experiences I had as a child. Being with my family this year for the first time since 2006 has shown to me the things that signal the celebration of the birth of Christ to me.


Being Goofy with Family (I guess this goes with any Salt Lake visit)






Making Multiple Visits to the Library (Okay, this also goes with any Salt Lake visit)




Seeing Temple Square Christmas Lights






Having the House Decorated




Mom's Sweet Cinnamon Rolls


Lots of Goodies


Dad Giving and Receiving University of Utah and Dodgers Gifts and Sneakily Converting the Grandkids to Ute-ism






The Christmas Pageant with the Glauser Family (we sure missed Grandpa, though)


And something extra that I added to the family traditions this year:

Baking Stollen







I'll add a little video I made on Christmas morning later.

Hope you had a merry Christmas. :)
