Christmas Eve and the day before, too!

We are so excited that we got a fun overnight visit from Melina, Jonathan, Raylin, and Kiley!!!  Then we all  spent some fun time at Kevin, Kirstan, Kandy and Kendall's home, too, on Christmas Eve afternoon, here in Show Low.  Such a nice time with family!!!

What a giant icicle!

Time for Christmas stories.

Ahhh!

Even bigger icicles at Kevin and Kirstan's house!

The paparazzi!

This is where icicles grow!

Kendall's ice guitar

The most efficient way to harvest icicles!

Building the icicle palace.

Kiley is so cute in her snow gear!

Jonathan has some awesome snowman-building skills! 

 He and Kandy produced this masterpiece of a snowman:

This is how you pack the snow...

 Ta-dah!!!

Time for some inside fun.  First, a fashion show by Raylin...

Happy paparazzi...

 Gently rearranging the nativity scene.  Christmas is so much better with little ones around!

 And a rousing game of "duck, duck, goose"!

Before they left for their other grandparent's house, Raylin and Kiley made these with Grandma Diane and Grandpa Bill.  So sweet!

What a fun Christmas Eve afternoon!!!  Grandma Diane missed some of these activities, recuperating from a medical procedure.  It is so great that Grandpa Bill got these photos so we could all enjoy the fun!
