Christmas With Savilles


Christmas Eve started with a glowing fire, games galore, snacks and goodies to eat.  The kids got to open their Christmas Eve gift~

and enjoy some new holiday PJ's: Colin sporting the Mario Bros.Wii look this year, while Camron is going sporty with his favorite: basketballs, soccer balls and footballs.  Corinne's soft and sweet gown has 'LOVE' embroidered on the chest.

Christmas morning finally came and here are our gifts left by Santa~all neatly wrapped and ready to tear into!  Dad played Santa by handing out presents to the kids who reveled in every moment!

Colin promptly took all his loot to his bedroom and proceeded to play the Wii for most of the day (that boy loves his video games and asked Santa for Super Mario Bros.Wii game, which he did get much to his delight!) Santa also delivered R/C cars, candy, BluTrack, other Wii games and his own MP3 player~

Yes, Colin had a great Christmas.


Corinne got most of her "Christmas list".  Julie the American Girl Doll, a Rubik's Cube game, MP3 player, candy, Pixos, a ZhuZhu pet and her own camcorder~

just to name a few...I'd say it was a good Christmas for Corinne, too.


Camron was in heaven~he finally got his own basketball hoop,



his own golf clubs,

and his own bowling set.
Santa also brought him an MP3 player and tons of candy!
Yes, Camron's Christmas was awesome.

We spent Christmas Day playing:

Dad and Corinne enjoying Lego Rock Band

The boys playing with BluTrack

And enjoyed another fire that night while we played our new games from Grandparents Smart and from Santa.  Chex mix, cheese and crackers, toffee and wassail~all in the name of Michael's "Traditions". It was indeed a Merry Christmas in the Saville House.

Wishing you a Bright New Year!

Reflect on Christmas Day


Reflecting on how blessed we were this year...for the love of extended family...for our healthy children...a wonderful spouse...a good job...a home to call our own...good friends...food stocked shelves...school and church buildings...cars to get around in...for challenges that made us wiser...church callings that made us stronger...for the knowledge of the gospel and our Savior, Jesus Christ...2009 was a good year.

"Christmas, Christmas Time is Near,"

"Time for toys and time for cheer."



and time to bring out the Christmas Tree!



Ornaments galore,




And great little helpers, too.




The tree is almost done,


The stockings are hung with care.


"We've been good but we can't last.
Hurry Christmas, hurry fast!"


"We can hardly stand the wait,
Please Christmas don't be late!"
