Holiday Recovery

Well, the Holidays are officially over! I've spent the last couple of days boxing up our Christmas stuff and trying to detox my body from the massive amounts of chocolate I managed to eat. But it was definitely fun while it lasted---I've always loved Christmas but there is something especially joyful about celebrating it with little kids. Here are a few of our memories.



We made Gingerbread houses (actually decorated the pre-made ones from Costco) with the other Utah Woodruffs.



A favorite Young Family Tradition is the matching PJ's that we get every year.

And here's the Ghost of Christmas past...Mason forgot to take the pillow out of the case before he stuck it on his head.

Aren't they just so cute?


Reading "Room for a Little One" and "The Night Before Christmas"


A few Visions of Sugarplums....I don't know if you can tell but that middle picture has four kids (Jake, Mason, Hallie & Alexis) all in Hallie's top bunk.

So fun! I am sorry we can't be in two places at once. I love the pics of the kids asleep the best. I can't believe you actually got them to go to sleep with them all in the same bed. We tried getting 4 nieces and nephews to sleep in the same room (in different beds) and that was quite chore with them all waking each other up. Way to go. It makes very cute pics for sure. Love you guys and we really miss you. The kids are getting so big too fast. :(

Hey - I finally know I can make comments as us (under dad's name) instead of "anonymous" which you guys don't allow anyway!
Sooo - love these fotos! Your kids are so cute and cuddly together, especially at night! Nate nailed it with Mason and the fire "horns" comment - it had been the first thing I noticed too! Too funny! And I'd forgotten - banging pots and pans on New Years is how I grew up in the "olden" days! What a fun thing! Love you guys - - Mom Woody

It looks like you had a fun Christmas!! :) Your kids are too cute. I love the matching pajamas. It was so nice meeting you and Andrea for dinner the other night. We need to do that more often. :)
