Christmas 2010

**As always I take way too many pictures- big SHOCKER, NO I realize it is an addiction, so I have only posted a handful of random ones....

*The boys looooove to wrestle with Ryker

*Jason put together this bad boy in the dark!! (train set) We hid it for the kids last present & it was to the side of their beds!

Lil lady & her kitchen & fun toys

*had to make sure to feed the reindeer

*Yo Yo Yo... What up?!

*one of the Nativities - betcha didn't realize they had cell phones - Kai is showing you!

We had another Fabulous Christmas, even if I had a hard time getting in the mood to decorate this year! Holidays always seem to come & go quicker every year - what's the deal with that? All 3 pups went to their new homes :( sad for us, happy for them. We celebrated Christmas with several fun parties, acted out the Nativity, had White Elephant Gift exchange & had too much yummy food! (just as I was doing soo good- getcha everytime!)

**Kidlets got more than enough (as always :) highlight gifts: Creed-Nintendo DS, Treygen- $ (& toys) he wouldn't tell us a whole lot of what he wanted, easy kid! Tekai - Batcave, Cayzli - Pink Kitchen (sooo adorable); & the infamous Train Table they've been wanting forever came too :) & yes of course we had to make something LATE Christmas Eve, (Aprons for kiddos) because what is Christmas in our household without doing that?! Some of the past few years have been: Jason's 375 blocks he made the kids & we painted until 3am, & Big Foot Pillows for kids. Aww just caught up in the Magic of it all -haha :)

**We left the day after Christmas for Vernal. Jason is working for Halliburton, so we went with him for the week, & FROZE our lil tushies off! It was 5 below zero & bitter cold. We had a good time swimming in the indoor pool, playing in the snow (plenty of that to go around) playing games with family & just hanging out! We drove home New Year's Eve & we watched the temperature drop even colder as we headed more south. It hit 18 below zero just outside of Cove Fort! I'm not built for that cold stuff- fun to play in the snow & visit. We were honking & yelling "Happy New Year" on the road-- didn't quite make it home in time. We were reminded of the time we travelled through Texas on the 4th of July & watched fireworks from the freeway as we drove :) It is fun memories like this with our family, that I love! It doesn't matter where we are, as long as it's together. HAPPY NEW YEAR 2011 -- BRING ON THE FUN!!
