Christmas 2010

Scott, Torin, and I are at Bear Hollow Lodge at Bear Lake on the Utah/Idaho border. We flew to Utah to spend Torin's first Christmas with the Swenson family. We arrived late on December 23rd and spent our first few days at the Swenson home in Logan. Yesterday we came up to Bear Hollow Lodge where we'll spend the rest of our trip - heading home on New Years eve. The following documents our trip so far.

Torin meets some of his cousins - Erin, Cecily, and Caleb


Cecily shows off her fabulous mothering skills


Torin meets Aunt Erin


Torin is tuckered from all this meeting and takes a nap in Grandma's swing


Handerpants are the most popular white elephant gift on Christmas eve. John wins these in the end. I saw him wearing them while putting the kids to bed last night. He'll never have to put his kids down with naked hands again!


Sudoku toilet paper from Sweden is also very popular. This is mine now!


Torin stars as baby Jesus in the Christmas eve nativity with Caleb and Cecily


Caleb doesn't know how he feels about this. He wanted to be baby Jesus
