I have not posted in so long I hope I remember how to do it. we had a very nice Christmas at the Mellor Home. Christmas eve is traditionally our sit down dinner and spiritual time. This year it was a smaller group as we were missing Joel and Sarah but we were blessed to have everyone else home and Rick's 'friend' Karen join us as well as the newest member of our family Stephen. After dinner this year instead of just reading the Christmas story we had our own nativity pageant with costumes and all. Mike and Kayla starred as Joseph and Mary and Jenna was a cranky Baby Jesus who ended up being held by one of the shepherds(Kristina). Rachel was the angel! Stephen played a Christmas carol on his clarinet.
On Christmas Morning we had the family plus Andrew and Elissa Wahlquist (Cousin Johnny's daughter) and their 2 kids, plus 6 missionaries join us for Brunch and carols on the chimes. It was fun if not peaceful
It has been a real change to have a 12 yr old boy in the house again. Stephen is a great kid and seems to be adjusting pretty well. He loves to skateboard and is pretty good at it and he loves to hang out with the older boys. Here he is at the skatebowl down the street. He has also enjoyed the snowboarding lessons that Richard has been giving to him and Karen who is from Costa Rica and seems to be enjoying her time in the snow.

Hey Mom it was actually your daughter who posted! I know it is usually Kristina and her pictures are better - but I was tired of waiting and she has been so busy!
