christmas with the elders.

i wish so badly i would have taken more pictures,
but we did get some good ones of us playing yatzee!
which was a fantastic game, because every single one of us was 100% into it.
so when we got what we wanted with those dice.......man, we got what we wanted.

lisa made an outstanding dinner once again.
she has gifts in that kitchen.
i can pretty much guarantee her and the kitchen made this undying pact that they will always bring out the best in each other.
and believe me, she has brought out the best!





we did some opening of the gifts...awesome, awesome gifts. very grateful!

ryan had my name, i can honestly say it is the sweetest gift i've ever received.
a shirt designed completely by him, and an awesome tea set.
thanks so much again ryan and liz!!

and then we had the privilege to chat with the one and only russ elder.
he sounds like he's doing incredible by the way!
happy and healthy.

it was yet again a wonderful christmas with both families this year!!
