Here are some pictures from the wonderful 2010 Martin Christmas Celebration!
We had a blast opening up presents from each other. The best gifts were the 72 hours backpack kits that Mica and Matt received. Thanks Mom and Dad!
By the way, it would be fun to find out what everyone received this year for secret Santa. Leave a comment describing what you got and from whom.
Here we are at church, obviously. This may have been the first year that we did not fill up a whole pew at church. Next year will fix that!
We had some fun time relaxing with games, movies, and family time.
Mica blessed us all with her Mexican cooking skills. She made some homemade enchiladas, Mexican rice while Mom made a delicious cilantro-lime dressing for the salad. Mica made two extra pans for the family to freeze. Maybe we can enjoy those saved pans for next Christmas!
And finally, Sophie was upset that her room was stolen for a week. Here you can see her attempting to break back in.

Oh, and thanks again, Mica, for the amazing Mexican dinner!!! That was seriously so incredibly delicious. I'm excited to eat the ones in the freezer. ;)
Mica got me 2 very stylish pieces of clothing. A blue buttoned up church shirt along with a very nice sweater. THANKS MICA!
Yes, Christmas this year was truly fun. Even though not any of the Utahn's could make it, next year will definitely make up for that!
I mostly spent time with Jenn's family on Christmas day. Morning was strictly family time only obviously, but after 12 it was time to spend it with a hopeful future family =] They seriously are very much alike US - MOVIES and VIDEOGAMES all day long! Loooove it! I can't wait to introduce any of you guys to Jenn and her family! They are truly something special.
Anyways, thanks for the pics Matt! And as for pics of me and Jenn, they'll find themselves up here soon enough, so don't you worry! Love you all=]
You're very welcome, Julia! Thanks for helping me! I need to practice being Mexican, so maybe we could make enchiladas every Christmas that we're together!
p.s. can't wait until the next time I can come over and play. :)
I need to get in touch with my inner Mexican too. And that sounds like an awesome Christmas tradition! I would love to be Mexican with you, Mica. :)
Matt and Mica I'm not sure if you knew this but Steph did that thread drawing of the temple on the sewing machine.
