Ashley's super cute Christmas flower!
Christmas Eve was spent at Ryan and Marcela's house. They invited their neighbor's over and we enjoyed a nice evening. We even had carolers perform for us!
Ryan is such an Engineer! This was his plan for getting dinner on the table at 5pm sharp!
Reyes wasn't a dragon all the time!
Ryan waxed domestic and sewed Camila's angel costume.
Ryan's Chief Wise Man costume... Jared, you've got some competition in the drama department!
The Nativity was great!
The audience!
Christmas morning we went to sacrament meeting before coming home and opening presents. I really enjoyed the hour long program where a few people shared their thoughts about their favorite Christmas hymn and then the congregation sang that hymn. It was great!
Ashley made Brent a manly apron!
Watch out, Ashley is now armed and dangerous!
Brent put together a brain teaser which had to be solved in order for Mom to know where her gift was hidden. It was hard, but we had a good time figuring them out!
Marcela and I enjoying Christmas Day!
Ryan, are you really that much taller than me? I look really short in this picture!
Uncle Gary joined us for Christmas dinner.
Brent put on a great meal for Boxing Day and we got to use the fancy dishes!
We kidnapped Ryan and headed to the movies, but not before I got one last
picture with Marcela and Camila!
Our obligatory scrunch picture. Yep, we went to Mission Impossible 3!
Good times! So, the five bucks got me a lot! Brent was a great chauffeur and we stopped at like every Starbucks out there to find the cinnamon dulce syrup- what a guy! He also ironed my church shirt, made delicious food, and gave me a place to sleep. I am spoiled!!!
So, here is why I joke about the $5. Christmas dinner was held at Brent and Ashley's house and a few days before leaving for Seattle Ashley sent out an e-mail inviting people to Christmas dinner and she stated that admission was $5. Not exactly sure how to take that, are you serious? Is this just a joke? I really didn't think I had a redneck brother, but perhaps the fancy feast they were planning was a bit pricey and every dollar helps! Turns out it was just a joke, and the joke just kept getting better and better all weekend long!
Now that we're almost done with January... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Here's hoping 2012 is a great year!

We were so glad you came too! It was fun.
And just to clarify...Brent sent out the email demanding $5, not me. He's cooky!
