We had a wonderful Christmas with our family. We were all together for four days and though a little hectic, it was a lot of fun. Everyone was patient and treated others kindly and we had a great Christmas holiday together. Lots of fun included - attending the Timpanogos temple together,(thanks to Colleen and Mark for tending the grandchildren!!), going to the annual P/R dinner party, sledding at MVHS, visiting Grandma Pat in her home, attending church, Sunday dinner, lunch with the adults at Blue Lemmon, three BYU basketball games, playing the game of Things, playing the present game, visiting the Lindley's new home, watching movies, going to movies, eating good food, just hanging out and playing with the kids. 18 people under one roof with 8 children and four kids in pack-and-plays makes for cozy accommodations.
We were so happy to have everyone here and love them all so much.
I heard a man in my office today comment to another person about their Christmas holiday. He said "the best part of Christmas was being with the one I love, having a happy marriage, being surround by my children and grandchildren and watching them have a great time together. This was the best gift of Christmas. "
I couldn't agree more.
Faith, family friends...simply the best gifts in life.

I loved seeing pictures and hearing what you did over Christmas! Great times were had by the Romneys! Why was Tyler Haws at the Phillip's? I love your new bedding. Those rolls that Chelsea and Lizzie are taking off the cookie sheet look amazing! Your Christmas Eve dinner table looked so festive and pretty. You really could have served anything- cold cereal?- and it still would have been amazing! haha. Glad you all had such a grand time. It sucks to get back to reality, huh?
I agree with what Lee said! I love every picture!
