My mom was packing up all the Christmas stuff the day we left. Until next year, Christmas tree!

Holly Jolly Christmas
Our Christmas fun started in Provo as we met up with my parents for the BYU basketball game. My dad felt it was time for Eli to be introduced to a BYU sporting event. Eli was squealing in delight the whole first half. Every time the audience would clap, he would frantically look around and then get so excited he could hardly contain himself. I think it's safe to say he is a BYU fan and can now officially be accepted into the Thomas side of the family.
The next night was our family Christmas Eve party.
Ben was even able to join the party from Malaysia where he's serving his mission.
The snow was a little late this year and didn't give us the white Christmas everyone hopes for. Even though the snow didn't make it, Santa sure did! Brooke and Caroline got a super fun marble maze.
Eli was awake for approximately 20 minutes of Christmas morning. Bummer.
Christmas and the rest of the week was full of games galore.
These pictures are cute. Caroline LOVES Eli. She wandered around the house all week repeating, "Baby Eli...Baby Eli..." They were darling together. And look, I think this might be where Caroline gave Eli and me our Christmas present -- a cold!
Golden child number three seems to be following in Caroline's footsteps:
Cuties.
He screamed. The whole week. Good thing he's cute.
And it was so great to see Abe and Klarissa. I hadn't seen them in over a year so this was their first encounter with Eli. I think they hit it off.
Another great Christmas!

Eli did not scream the whole week--he squealed the whole week. I'm kind of missing that little squeal right now. Thanks for coming up. Hope you and Eli are feeling better. Happy New Year!
Hey now, Eli was already accepted as part of the family but after he reacted to the first half, I think we have a "Jacob" level fan being raised there.
Thanks for coming up. It was a fun time.
What a great Christmas! So glad we were finally able to meet Eli! You forgot to take a picture of his puppy outfit from the behind - that was the best part! Come to CA so we can see you again soon!
