Christmas Eve Festivities

Bowling -

The Thomson family started off the holiday with bowling at Ritz on State Street - what could be more appropriate? It was so fun to have everyone (almost) in the family there bowling together.

Dinner & Nativity -
It was our turn to be with the Thomson side of the family this year for Christmas. We spent the evening as usual with an overly extravagant dinner (including Honeybaked Ham) and our rendition of the Nativity.
(Yes, that is a lampshade on Mikey's head - he is always pulling out the unexpected)

We were super excited to get a significant amount of snow on Christmas Eve. It started about 4pm and didn't stop until about 7. The downside about the snow was that it kept us from making our usual trip down to Temple Square to see the lights.

Talking with Brady -
We got to talk to Brady on Christmas Eve. Madagascar is about 10 hours ahead of us, so we called him really early on his Christmas morning. It was so great to talk to him - he sounds like the same old Brady.
