Come and Gone

I can't believe that the holiday season has come and gone. I love this time of year, spending time with friends and family and having lots of extra reminders to help us remember Christ.
I guess it's time to report on our holiday festivities.

Our Christmas Rocked!

Christmas is 10 times better with kids. Jacob was so excited the entire week before Christmas, waking up at 3:00 am every day asking if it was Christmas yet. Then on Christmas Eve he was so excited he was up way late. I'm not sure what time he fell asleep. We actually had to wake him up at 7:30 because Caleb was going crazy.

The boys got remote control cars from mommy and daddy. Caleb just kept pointing the remote at his car and was really confused why it wouldn't go. It was so funny.





Santa got a little out of control at our house. All I'll say is that he made Jacob's life by giving him a John Deere Gator. He was seriously spazzing out when he saw it. I was really glad he didn't throw-up!! Santa gave Caleb a little 4-wheeler. He LOVES it, I think it might drive me crazy.


Jacob couldn't wait to go outside to drive around. It will a fun spring and summer! Thanks Santa!

After Christmas, Caleb got sick and postponed our trip to Fruit Heights a little but we ended up going anyway. We had such a good time playing with Grandpa John, Grandma Jan, Aunt Katrina, Uncle Burdette and Carter and Will. We stayed for a week and I think we all stayed up too late, played too hard and had too much fun. We need a few days to recover from our vacation! We had a blast!!

On New Years we hung out with some friends and went sledding. It was a blast!!

Jacob and Carter sliding down on their bums. Much safer for the little ones.

Clay just had to try this. It didn't go too well.


Cute Aubrey and Drew who came out for the holidays from Illinois.

We had so much fun and are so blessed to be surrounded by great friends and family.

That little truck is so cute. We like the second seat on it. Not so sure if that will be a safe thing for the second rider, but cute!
