Price Family Christmas Dinner

Okay, I was a dork and didn't take my camera. So I have NO pictures of Christmas at home, nor of our Christmas dinner at my brother Dave's house. Thanks to my sister, Traci (whose blog I pirated these pictures from), there is a record that the Prices do things as a family often... well, semi-often... okay, on major Holidays such as Christmas, Thanksgiving (odd years) and Kwanzaa.

To start things off, Dave made us some awesome ribs. Lots of different flavors too. I was so full!


We all chipped in and got my mom a walker with her specifications; i.e. a) over-sized tires, b) a basket, c) large seat (in case she and Dad want to share - or Caleb wants to ride along) and an 8-track tape of Neil Diamond's greatest hits.


As the "adults" played a game of 5 crowns, Ella and Caleb chased each other around the house screaming and trying to scare each other. I wish I had some footage of that one. I think it was Grandpa's fault for getting Ella all wired up to begin with. Maybe they'll do it again tonight when we're at Joe and Amanda's house for the New Year's celebration.

... here are some pictures of New Years Eve. Caleb and Ella kept chasing each other around the house laughing and screaming. Oh boy!

Amy's family

Gilbert Family Reunion

Okay, so we were out of the car for maybe a total of 15 minutes this day. It was December 23rd and Katie and Clint had just arrived from a 4 hour drive from Grand Junction, Colorado - where they live. Jon had a couple of hours and Amy had asked him to take some pictures since the last ones that were taken were 3 yrs ago right after Kevin got home from his mission.

Anyway, Katie and Clint pull up in the minivan and Jon shows up at the same time. While the Davis' are changing into "picture clothes" Jon is busy snapping a bunch of individual pictures and couples pictures on our front porch... I'll post those on this site once he emails them to me. Then we high-tail it up American Fork Canyon to Tibble Fork reservoir. Jon has taken many people's family pictures and engagement pictures at this location. He brought a couple of small stools that we threw out and shoved into the snow, then he arrainged all of us where he wanted us to stand... took some entire family pictures, then some individual family pictures and then we all hopped into the car and headed back down because it was like 10 degrees outside. I think he photoshop'd out everyone's breath and Amy's purple cheeks:)

Here are some pictures Jon took of us on our front porch...
