Anderson Christmas

Sunday & Monday after Christmas we celebrated with the Andersons. There were about 25 of us there this year and it's terrific to have our family keep growing with the addition of children & significant others!

Les & LeAnn's house is just beautiful and it is always so nicely decorated.


CJ made a point of following Reid & Kayla wherever they went! (As you can see in this photo, CJ likes to unroll his lefse before he eats it.) We had a delicious turkey dinner and everyone brought food to share. If you leave hungry after an Anderson gathering, it's your own fault!


Uncle Keith brought his guitar and led us in singing Christmas songs. Reid & Trevor sang a duet (accompained by Keith). Grandpa Anderson read the Christmas story and shared his thoughts on the meaning of Christmas and what it means to our faith. These traditions have been a special part of our family Christmas celebration!







We had a great time opening gifts together (I'd say we are all good shoppers). That weekend we enjoyed playing games, visiting, and eating (not a surprise). In this photo, CJ gathered a bunch of people to color with him. Sunday night we told CJ he could stay up late if he was a good listener and cooperated. He was a great boy that night and it was after midnight by the time he fell asleep!


Here's Trevor wearing the keyboard t-shirt Joel found for him (it really plays music)


Reid & Kayla - they're getting married in August. Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of Shelley & Kory at Christmas (they're getting married in June). We're going to have a fantastic summer!


Grandpa & Grandma - we love them so very much!


Trevor taught CJ how to play Wii bowling - we're going to have to play this at home now


We took some pictures of the 4 generations in this family and will post those soon!

  2. We have been enjoying the pictures of your holiday celebration with the Andersons. And what a beautiful home! Appears all are having great fun. And the family is expanding with two weddings this summer. More fun.
