Christmas Vacation

A nice long post for a nice long Christmas vacation...

The kids couldn't wait to get out and play in the snow.
Sledding down "the hill" in our backyard.
Christmas Eve at Great Grandma's. We celebrate a different country (or place) every year. This year we celebrated America. We ate cheese from Wisconsin and potatoes from Idaho :) A lot of fun!
Talent Show. Tommy's...being cute.
An Angel in the Nativity.
Aprons that my Grandma made for each of the great granddaughters. So cute!
Christmas morning. Way too many presents that couldn't fit under the tree.

One of her favorite presents.
Playing with their toys.


Classic. I love this kid!Me and a few helpers put together one 500 puzzle and three 1000 puzzles. A favorite Christmas past time of mine.
Visiting Grandma at work and riding the "choo choo" which was a huge hit.

and the carousel.
We went to see the lights on Temple Square, where "Mommy and Daddy got married." Very cold but beautiful!



Jake in his blue striped shirt.
Rachel reading the account of the Savior's birth to us.

The last few days we spent with Jake's brother Dan and his family. These are the only two pictures I got:
Tommy and Brauer
Rachel and Scarlet
These two played so well together. It's so fun to have cousins the same age and gender.

Thanks again everyone for a wonderful Holiday season, it was great to see you all!!

It was great to hang out with you guys. I am glad that Dan was off work and that we could all just chill. I am also very grateful for the birthday gift you guys gave Daphne. I hope we get to see you guys this summer. Scarlet has been asking for when cousin Rachel came come sleep over again.
p.s. I LOVE the picture of Tommy in the purple marsh-mellow suit. LOL funny.

It all looks like lots of fun. Cousins are especially fun to watch together. I will call and catch up when I get back home next week.
