Hatch Holidays in a Hurry

This is our gingerbread house competition. The results don't matter though. I'm just glad we all had some good clean fun!
We went to the mall and rode the Christmas train. Mariam and Liz rode and the rest of us just chased them all though the mall!

Freezing!! We lasted about as long as it took to get this picture.

Here is a recap of our 2010 Christmas...
We had our own little "mini" Christmas the day before we left to CA. It actually was so fun and felt more real then I thought it would. The kids were so excited but I think Chad and I were more excited then they were. Lilly's big gift was a doll house w/ all the accersories and Jensen got a car track and basketball hoop. For our Christmas Eve we had a small bday celebration for Jesus w/ a bday cake and all. And the next night we went to McCORmick Railroad park and rode the Christmas train with Kristen, Ian and their kids. It turned out to be a great PRE-Christmas! The next day We drove to Califonia on the 19th and spent a week with Chad's family. Then we drove to Utah the day after Christmas and spent a week and a half with my family. We definetly got spoiled and LOVED spending so much time with our families. We decided that this is one of our last Christmas' as students so why not take advantage of it and see both families while we still can!
