Over the river and thru the woods to Grandmothers house we go...

It's the day after Christmas and it is the Page family gathering in Caswell. Abby took lots of pictures of the cousins, Grandpa chatting with Steve, and playing ball at the gym.

All of the pictures are backwards, but we had a nice Brunch with the missionaries and the Mitchells, stopped by the Richardsons and suprised Elder Burk, and spent and evening playing games and watching movies.Love this picture of Steve...so handsome!
Playing Picturea...I think that is what it is called.

Last Transfer for Elder Page

Elder Page had one more transfer in him, he is headed back to Anaheimwhere he will be serving in the 2nd ward and 7th singles ward. He is no longer mechanic!!!! yeah we were so much hoping that he would be able to teach full time this last transfer. He is going to miss alot of families, the Frasiers especially, and he is really going to miss Elder Allred who he has grown to love so much. Hopefully they can meet up again some day. He is excited about his new assignment and trying not to be too excited about coming home :)Elder Allred and Elder Page with the Frasier Family.
Elder Page's buddy MAX!

Max's little brother or sister not sure.

A very Merry Christmas Day

Christmas morning was not as early as it has been in the past 7:00 am. wow! we got to sleep in! Every one got what they ask for. It is so nice they never ask for really big things and they always get so excited about it every year!!! After we opened gifts we had a brunch with the Missionaries and the Mitchells. I love doing that every year. I love traditions!!! Abby got a straightner, boots and a camera and a warm blanket!
Alcides got a blanket too. He is always carrying on around the house so I just got him his very own! Cute HUH!

Tory and Zach asked for Nerf guns!!!! We had a big battle before brunch...I think that was Bro. Mitchells favorite part of the day.

Alcides also got a football...

Tory's hoodie

Zach's Liverpool Jacket

and a basketball!

Even Daisy who has been good this year got a stocking full of treats and toys!

Christmas Eve

Its Christmas Eve, our Favorite night of Christmas. We open up our Christmas PJ's and our gifts to each other. Afterwards we all put on our PJ's and watch Polar Express and have hot chocolate. It is one of our favorite traditions. We sure missed Dallin and Matthew, but we sent them their PJ's and some Hot chocolate to share with their companions.Zach modeling his PJ's and his gift from Tory. Me holding up my PJ's and my gift from Abby, homemade mittens.

Dallin sent Dad some slippers, Thanks Dallin!

Matthew had Alcides name, he got a Texas hat.

Tory got basketball shorts form Alcides.

Abby loved her PJ's. She also got snuggly boots and socks from Zach.

New Missionary

Elder Perkins was transfered and now Elder Hutchins is a trainer. We now have Elder Dodson fresh from the MTC. He is from Mapleton Utah. He is from large family. I believe he said that he is number 8 of 9. We are glad to have him here with us in North Carolina!
They spent Christmas Eve with us for dinner and Christmas Morning for Brunch. We love having the Elders here with us, especially when we have 2 sons out serving, it makes them feel a little closer to us.
