A Gundry Christmas!

Isn't this time of year so busy? We attended our 3rd Christmas party in 24 hours during our Utah trip! This time it was the Gundry party (Preston's mom's extended family). They have an annual celebration at the ward they all grew up in near Sugarhouse.

It was our opportunity to see all of the immediate family members and the extended family. Henry was feeling a little tired and cranky from his 4 immunizations the day before, but he managed to be a wiseman in the Nativity play...

Don't ya love that red hair???

And a family party wouldn't be complete without Beauen acting strange...


The Gundry's started the cutest tradition called "Little Jack Horner". On Christmas Eve they put a toy hooked to string in a pail that is wrapped in Christmas paper. The kids all recite the words to Little Jack Horner...."Little Jack Horner sat in the corner eating his Christmas pie, he stuck in his thumb and pulled out a..." and they all pull the string with their name on it and out comes a small gift. Henry pulled out a small stuffed moose fingerpuppet this year at the Gundry party.

Janeen planned and carried out a very successful family-filled Christmas celebration!
