Christmas in a nutshell

So I know this post is long overdue, along with an update of what we have been up to. Well here is the Christmas update. In a nutshell we had a blast of a christmas in our new home!! We were able to spend christmas morning at our house where Toby got more presents than we did I think :) Then we went over to the Kelly's and had a nice time opening our homemade gifts. As you can see from Dave's sister Michelle's reaction, we had fun with the homemade gifts. Then that night we spent more time with the entire Kelly extended family. As for the Randall family we got to talk to my parents on Skype on Christmas Eve, which was a lot of fun. Then the day after Christmas we were able to go to my sister's in-laws cabin in American Fork Canyon and spend the day sledding and hanging out. It was a blast to be able to spend christmas with both families and spend some quality time with them and not be rushed. So here are some fun pictures from Christmas!Here is the aftermath of one of my most favorite christmas traditions, the silly string war. Dave's mom started putting silly string in our stockings the year that Dave and I got married. Apparently she wasn't planning on us using it right then but taking it home and using it. But the first we got our stocking me and my brother-in-law got to our silly string first and just started spraying each other and everyone, from them on it became a tradition.
Here is my cute niece Brynnley out in the snow Do you think my sister-in-law loves the present I made her?

Dave was so excited to put lights up on our house, we are slowly growing our collection of LED lights, which look completely different than the big bulb ones I grew up with but we are trying to save on money :)
