Christmas 2011 in Utah

Well it wasn't a California Christmas and we were missing a few kids, but we had a good time.  I got up early to set up the ambiance of as close to a California Christmas as possible.  Made the fire, well turn on the gas fire place, put on Charlie Brown's Christmas music, then text the kids to come down.  Below is the outcome.  

The Beginning

Buddy had to get in on the action.




















































You have to have grown up with Jared to understand this gift.  It is a horse made from a hanger.





And then there was Jared






































Seth may appreciate this photo.  This is Jared as Sheep Man.








































This is a cheese container from Meaux, France where Jared served his mission.


Jared finally got his quilt, 100% cashmere.
Sara unsure of her opinion?






















Post time mess at the Rutman Christmas.  Sort of bitter sweet.  We were without three of our children and it will be the last Christmas in the U.S. for two tears.  We hope all our children had a nice Christmas and look forward to a California Christmas next time.  On to France now.
