all crazy, when I was doing/previewing the post they didn't look like that? If anyone knows let me know how to fix it!Sorry for all the pictures, I just couldn't narrow them down anymore!
On the 18th we left to start our Christmas break. We stayed on night at Nolan’s sisters house in Ogden, Utah and did some much needed Christmas shopping. The next day we went to the airport to pick up Nolan’s sister, Jill, her husband, and their little boy who is just one month younger than Thomas. Then we were off to Malta until the 1st. We had fun there and along with us, and his sister Jill, his other 2 sisters Holly, and Jenny and their families stayed at his parents’ house with us. There were about 17 people staying there total, and 4 of them were all 1 year olds. It was so fun to be together. We played basketball, Ping-Pong, watched movies, board/card games, made gingerbread houses, played in the snow, went snowmobiling, went to the new National Treasurer (Highly recommended). We planned on staying there until the 1st, but almost 3/4 of the groups got sick and threw up, and most of us were running on 4-6 hours of sleep a night. So we decided to leave on the 29th, and get Thomas back to schedule. Christmas morning was so fun, Thomas was so careful when he opened presents this year. He got trains, a baby nintendo, tractor, and clothes! Even with all the sick kids we had a great time as a family. I think it says a lot that all of us could be there together in those circumstances and still have so much fun and get along. Thanks Gary and Susy for making the Christmas season so special. I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas this year as well. We love and miss you, and think of you often!

Looks like so much family fun! Hope Thomas is doing better at home. I love your bangs more than all the sugar beets in Malta!
I love all the pictures (especially the one of you all dressed up like the nativity -- what were you doing?)! It sounds like you had a great Christmas...how fun to be with so much family. I wish we could see you guys...we miss you! You, by the way, look beautiful Ashley.
Love,
Emily
Wow! You're so good Ashley to have these pictures up already. We all felt bad you had to leave for home early, but we hope that Thomas is doing better now that he's home. We had a great time with all of you and only wish we could have spent more time with you. We love you and hope to see you soon - hopefully at Christopher's baptism Saturday!
Love,
Jenny
