Christmas Morning 2011

Christmas morning!

 Alan got a kitchen, David a new bike and Grant is holding his Ipod.

 One thing to note in these pictures is that Grant has on the Allred Disney Surprise shirt. After our nativity all the kids opened a present with these t-shirts in them! Which said on the back Disneyland Christmas Surprise 2011. This is how they found out what they were getting from Grandpa and Grandma for Christmas! We left   the next day.

The aftermath!

Christmas Eve 2011

Christmas Eve at Grandpa and Grandma Allred's  house. Everyone ready to act out the nativity.

 David and Morgan are Mary and Joseph and Micheal is holding Case who is baby Jesus. He is only 9 days old!

 Lizzie is an animal and you can see Grandpa narrating from the scriptures.

 Spencer and Avery are Shepperd's.

 Josh, Isaac and Grant are the 3 wise men or maybe wiseguys don't know which?

 I think Owen is a Shepperd too.

Grandma got PJ's for everyone. Here is David and Ethan with theirs on. and you can see a few kids in the background getting their PJ's on. Alan is getting his on, to the left of Ethan.

My whole family! Fun day! I have to say my sister took most of these pictures that's why some of them look so good. 

Our first family snowman

 Grant and Alan ready to start on our snowman. This is Christmas Eve morning the day after it snowed and the sun is out making the snow melt a bit so the snow is just right for building a wonderful snowman.

 What a perfect thing to do on Christmas Eve.

 My sweet boys. I think they all look so cute in this picture.

I don't love this shot of me but I want to prove I was involved. Jared loves this beanie his mom gave him a couple of Christmases ago I love it too.

Almost a white Christmas

 Two days til Christmas and we woke up to this.

 We don't get snow in this part of Arizona very often so this was exciting. Our back yard.

 Porch and back of house.

 Back yard with a good view of the orchard.

 Also you can see the fort Grant built.

 View to the side of our house.

 These are such pretty photos of the orchards covered with snow.

89th Annual Christmas Program

 This was the only photo I got from the Christmas Program. David is in the green vest because he wanted to look like the elves in the play, so he took a vest from back stage and put it on. I don't have good photos because I video taped it. Grant had a solo he sang really well. I was very impressed!

 After the program Santa always comes to visit. David telling Santa what he wants for Christmas.

 Grant waiting with Alan.

 Santa attempting to put Alan on his lap.

 Nope not gonna happen I"ll just put you down.

 Grant is looking too big for Santa's lap. He has grown so fast!

I thought this was funny. Santa told Grant to wave to me for a picture, nice hand placement.
