Here is our slew of Holiday Randomness:
Miley had a Christmas Program and Activity Day at her preschool. She had been practicing "Feliz Navidad" all December long, and she tried to sing the loudest during the Screaming Program--I mean, Singing Program.
Just look at Miley's teacher. This picture says it all!
My big girl makes friends so easily. She is so genuine and caring toward all of her friends. These are a couple of her BFFs.

What Christmas Vaca wouldn't be complete without:
1- a trip to Temple Square?
2- a Family argument?
3- a car getting booted?
Lucky for us Snodgress', we only did #1, a little bit of #2, and barely missed doing #3.
Uncle Ricky and Izzy
Jas and Lee (doesn't he look British?) :)
Jack and B

As for the Richards Fam, we went sledding.
I don't know if you remember last year's post about sledding. It had to do with Don and him laughing hysterically at my kids as they tumbled willy-nilly down the frozen hill. Kids crying, Don laughing.
This year...
Isaac, Miley and Don all piled on the sled and did a Clark Griswald down the hill and a half mile to the road. Don couldn't grab Ike in time.
As a result...
Oh, Ike was fine. I was not! Don spent the rest of Christmas Eve humbly asking for my forgiveness for bringing my baby home battered and bloody. As I understand it, he screamed and cried all the way home from the hill. Not from being hurt, but because he couldn't go sledding anymore. My little TOUGH GUY.<><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><><>
Christmas morning was magic! Santa filled our stockings and ate the cookies (even though Isaac blamed Ava, "Ava did it!" He blames her for everything.)
Miley was making sure she didn't miss any presents.
I did a mostly handmade Christmas this year. My kids got the brunt of it. I made them pj's, robes, bean bags, personalized Book of Mormons, hats, a super hero cape, and a wedding dress complete with veil. The wedding dress is my favorite. I made it from Don's old missionary shirt that we were going to throw out. I just added lace, beads, and pearls. $0. My baby bride.
After breakfast with the Richards, we went to open more presents at G & G Snodgress' house!
We opened traditional British Christmas Crackers, thus the funny crowns and toys.
When it was all said and done, this is how we felt:

HOW FUN!!! Your family is so cute and awesome. I'm very glad you found your camera, the pics were amazing. I honestly think that homemade gifts are the best, because they have the most thought and love. You are just lucky enough to be talented in that area, me not so much(i'm trying and practicing though)
Oh my goodness. I don't know, but between the last photos of Miley that you posted and these ones, SHE HAS GROWN UP SO MUCH! Her FACE looks older! She's longer! Oh my word. I ache. I miss you guys so much. Beautiful pictures....
