Bowler Christmas

We celebrated Christmas Eve and Christmas day with the Bowler family this year. We had a great time being together as a family and just laughing. With all that's been going on, it's great to just relax and laugh together leaving all cares and worries aside for a while.

Kelsey on Christmas day.

Our beautiful Brenna!!!! Or as Spencer says "that's my Brenna".

Jon taking Christmas ALL IN!!!

Two pretty girls, Tessa and Brenna

Jon still taking in all of the excitement

Lincoln loved everything about Christmas (the presents or should I say the wrapping paper, the boxes the presents came in and everything else)

Jason reading to the boys on Christmas morning before everyone else came.

We had our own family Christmas before everyone came. It was so fun.

Linc loved Spencer's sleeping bag.

So did Spencer

The night of Christmas Eve, Grandma Bowler gave all the kids pj's for the night. As you can see, Spencer's halfway there. He liked this look better than pj's or it was the fact his mom was too lazy to change him before this picture was taken. It's probably the later of the two, unfortunatly.

Story time, it was actually Brenna reading to all of us. She's a great little storyteller.

Brenna was in deep conversation with Papa about who came to visit tonight.

Spencer and Brenna are super cute together. They play so great together and Spencer just adores her. He kept calling her "my Brenna" all night and they held hands all the time. Spencer says that him and Brenna are like the Fox and the Hound, he says "we're the best of friends" it's really cute.

our little angel, Brenna and Mary, McKenna. We had the best Nativity Pagent ever!!!

My little shepherd!!!!

Angel Brenna relaxin'. It's tiring to be an angel!

This is Brenna's reaction when "you-know-who" arrived. She was in total shock that Santa would come to Grandma and Papas house just to see them.

Spencer was also in total awe of Santa coming to see him. We are so lucky that we were on his list to come see in person.

Santa was in such a hurry because it was the busiest day for him that he was in and out. He passed out some awesome candy too. How lucky were we!!!!

Brenna when Santa first arrived.

Tessa and tired Spencer

During the pagent.

Lincoln was a good little boy to play Baby Jesus. He was so good.

Spencer kept smelling Lincoln's feet and saying "eeeewwwww" and then lincoln would crack up laughing.

Our little Nativity!!! Best ever, I'd have to say!!! Mary (McKenna), Joseph (Caden), Angels (Brenna, Tessa, Kelsey), baby Jesus (Lincoln), and shepherd (Spencer).

The innkeeper was played by Jared. Good job by the way, Jared!!!

Lincoln with his Uncle Jon

Cute picture

Our little family!!!

Jon and Prentiss' family

All of the Bowler's with Grandma Woodbury

Caden did an awesome job with building the fire. He did such a great job, such a pro!!!

All the younger cousins were totally intrigued with watching Caden build and start the fire. He had every kid watching and now that I think about it, every adult was watching also.

Spencer took any oppurtunity to hug "his Brenna".

Cute lil' Tessa Lee!!!!!

McKenna spent the night on the 23rd and she and Spencer had a great time playing hide and go seek. They were finding some awesome hiding places.

"To Infinity and Beyond" and jump.

Lincoln loved to crawl under this chair and sit and he'd just laugh and laugh. Then he'd get out and do it all over again.

We went to the Temple on the 23rd to see the lights. It was so neat!!!!

Spencer, McKenna and Brenna

Another oppurtunity for Spencer to hug Brenna. These two are too cute together!!!!

All the cousins together minus Kelsey on the steps of the St. George Temple.

They held hands the whole night walking around. I couldn't resist taking this picture.

We had a great time down there with all our family. We wish it was a longer visit, but you know how it goes, life goes on. We want to thank you all for the best time. Thank you for all the love and support you all give to us. I hate how fast time goes when we are together and having fun. I wish you can slow it down at those times. We love you all and miss you terribly.

Spencer and Brenna hoding hands!!!! So precious!!!!
