Coeur d'Alene Christmas, 2013

We got to spend Christmas together in Coeur d'Alene with all of our children (except Elder Christian) and the husbands and grandchildren. We rented out a home that had plenty of space for all of us, and we spent three lovely, busy days all together.  Matthew ended up being the real Santa Claus this year.  He brought a large suitcase full of gifts for everyone, and he especially spoiled all of his nieces and nephews.

Just look at these darling daughters of mine!

 

Here we are by Lake Coeur d'Alene.  Lauren, Steve, Cole, Juliette, Will, Lisa, Isabella, Tracy, Jake, Annabelle, Lissie, Emily, Henry, Liam, Bryant.

I had hoped to get more pictures, but this is it for now.  I wanted one of all of the grandchildren together (in their Christmas garb!),  but with two little newborns and four busy little toddlers, AND the flu bug, it was almost impossible!  We had a lovely time together though, and I am grateful that it all worked out to get together, even for a few days.
