Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was a blast. We went snowmobiling in the morning. Hailey and Jared brought their two new sleds and Dad and Luke spoiled themselves with purchases for themselves. I was amazed at the jumps Dad would take, it was like watching a teenager, it was great. That afternoon each family made gingerbread houses, and I have to say the Julie and Russel took the prize with their mobile home and deer yard ornaments! We took off for the snow again, my Dad has been busy clearing more land for the cattle and we enjoyed his efforts. We made a bonfire and loved watching Kolby trudge up the hill a million times. Mom made a great dinner of course and then the boys opened their traditional Christmas PJ's from Grandma. Dallin even left Santa jelly beans. I told him about how people leave cookies and he was positive that jelly beans would be much better.

Christmas Lights

I wish I could remember how many lights this family puts up every year but I have forgotten along with many of the details. It has become a tradition to light up the canyon sky with lights of all kinds and colors for this family. The view was spectacular, and I can only imagine the hours that go into putting up the display. We all loved it.

Christmas with Hyatts

We enjoyed an early Christmas with the Hyatt's. It was wonderful getting to see everyone during the season. It is always so fun to watch the boys open gifts and to see the excitement in their eyes. Thanks to everyone for a great time.

Santa and the Library

One of the things the boys look forward to is our weekly trip to the library. They have a great program for children and the boys love singing songs, playing games, rhyming, listening to stories, and all the projects. This Friday Santa came and the boys got to frost their own sugar cookie. Dallin told Santa he wanted Jelly beans and that Reed wanted a toy. He made it pretty easy on Santa I think.
