One of the highlights of the day was spending a big part of the evening with the Davises... the other Davises. We don't get to see this bunch of Davises very often as they are scattered abroad most of the time. With Kristen in New York and Erin and Lee in England, and Lauren off in Utah for a while, it is not so often that everyone is "home." 
Dog pile on the couch after a few rounds of "the name game." Thanks for introducing us to a fun new game, Ricky! 
Sisters! 
Sisters!
This is the year that Andrea is taller than Lauren! Andrea is 11 1/2. She is pretty pleased with her accomplishment. This picture almost makes them look the same... but without Lauren's hair, Andrea was about 1/2 inch taller! 
Fun Cousin picture... haven't had one of these for a LONG time with these cousins! LOVE IT! 
it was the best present of all!!!
I love Christmas! I love how close we all feel as a family and all the fun time that we get to spend together. It really is the best!! 
PJ's all modeled in next several pictures...
I think this was to get us ready for New Years eve... at least these peanuts aren't in your underwear and clothes for days!!! 
Our table was set and ready to receive the 25 people that would celebrate with us. What a perfect group we had!
I had to take a picture of Rod's red and green jello... Rod made a dinner fit for royalty and we all felt like we were for the evening.
Grandma read stories..
Kiera's amazing gift was opened by steph...
...She loved it
Lots of tender moments...
And we ate 21 pounds of juicy, tender prime rib! Ruth's Chris has nothing on Rod!!
We listened to amazingly talented musicians... if you can actually make music with a Barbie guitar, well... that is true talent!
Love having Grandparents near!!!
Sherri was the favorite cuddler! Especially with Jason.
Leah and I
Kiera with Emily
Terry and Kim sang to us in their native tongue!!! So amazing.
Little drummer boy(s) performed.... with Scott's awe-ing talent on the piano... we had no music, so he played it through once and had it figured out.
We knew we were in for a treat when we saw Camels coming down the stairs.
little angels... they were so sweet about their roles. 
The wise men had an amazing entrance on their camels!
The whole group. Loved having so many for all the roles. They really did a great job! Kiera and steph were the costume and casting specialists... they did great! LOVED it!!! Probably the best one yet!
Our angels pose for a pic.
The wise WOMEN!
bestest buddies.
Big kids need cuddle time too.
A family number... so awesome. They sing so good.... Kimberly was suppose to sing but had to work.. It was neat to see Sherri jump up and sing with the kids. Timmy and Steph both have great voices.
Enjoying... 
turned into a food fight...
the girls got crazy...
So Rod helped them clean up...
This was halarious!
A sweet treat when the Smedley's stopped by with a carol and a goodie! They were so cute all dressed in their antlers and hats!
Kimberly finally made it.
What a great group and perfect evening to celebrate the most important person to ever walk the earth!
