Temple Square at Christmas

You can't live in Utah and not visit Temple Square during Christmas-time right? So we Chases headed down that way for a chilly night filled with lots of fun.

New Year's Eve 2010

We had a blast playing apples to apples, and watching movies til midnight this past new years. I think Adam and Ryan were the only ones who made it all the way to midnight without a few zzzzzz's.



 Lyns was talking to her fiance' on Skype most of the night. He's a pretty silly dude as you can tell from this pic. He was working that night-he's a security guard at BYU-H, and since his leg is hurt he was working in the office so every once in a while he would have to take phone calls and that kind of stuff, and he has a walkie talkie that he keeps up with everyone on. So...right after midnight here, I asked him to announce that it was only 3 more hours til midnight there, but he said you do it Jess, so I did. I said, "Just to let you know, less than 3 hours until the new year, less than 3 hours and it will be 2011." And all of the others on the walkie talkies were saying "who was that"?! They were pretty confused. And we were all laughing pretty hard.
 At midnight
 also at midnight-Larissa was so great to stay up with us even though she's got a little bun in the oven. (Naomi says she has multiple babies in there.)
Naomi loves to have marching bands every time we have family over and Terri and Ryan are usually the only ones who are nice enough to follow her around and do what she says. (those are the videos i cant get to upload). and this is mckay obsessed with watching mickey on papa's phone.

 i have some more funny videos from this night but they won't upload. any suggestions??
HAPPY NEW YEARS TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!

December and Christmas....It's been a while since I've updated

It has been too long since I've blogged but we've had a great Thanksgiving, December, and Christmas.
I'll let the pictures do most of the talking.
our kids are still very active................

first ugly Christmas sweater party of the season, it was hilarious! Adam gave a signed 8x10 photo of himself for the white elephant exchange that people actually fought over. the guy in the pic, glen, ended up with it and it's now in his cubicle at work! These are the host and hostess, they never hold still so I just had to take an action shot.
 Bishop and his wife won the contest. He had some kind of Christmas tree hat thing going on, and she was rockin some silver tights. they are both very conservative so that's why we were so stunned.
we just went for the "matchy" turtleneck look. and yes they are women's
one day naomi was pretending that she was hatching out of an egg for like an hour. it was makin me laugh

she loves the nativities.............
before church-can they get any cuter?
more nativity action, only had one figurine break this year, a Christmas miracle, McKay threw a ball at it
 nana chase gave naomi her own strand of lights and this is how naomi decorated our house with them-oh so lovely
Christmas morning!

Rissa and Naomi-side note, Ry and Lars are expecting and Naomi has nicknamed their child "treesnow", and unfortunately it has stuck..
