A White New Years

A few days after Christmas we left and went to Utah for New Years. We had such an amazing time. We got to meet the newest members of our family, Trevor, Landon, Jenny, Carly and Brock, they are pretty special. We had alot of fun getting to know them and just hanging out. We road four wheelers in the snow, went to temple square, to dinner, and to see Carly's Dancers and Cheerleaders at the UVSC Basketball game. (Good job Carly) We also played cards, watched lots of movies and of course went shopping. It was nice to get away for a little bit, but once we returned home we had a huge storm that knocked out our power for two days. Ah, such is life.

Christmas Eve

We spent Chistmas Eve with Gene's family, and had such a fun time. We ate all kinds of yummy treats, and played some fun games (thanks Heidi). It was a blast. This year the gift exchange was gift cards, and I do have to say that Gene and I lucked out and got the best ones. One for Target and the other Cash. We were super excited. he hee. Here are a few from the night. Mainly of the boys because they just looked so dang cute playing with the little ones. It was so fun to have little babes around. They were quite entertaining.

Boys will be Boys

Christmas Day

Gene and I are so blessed to be able to have our families so close to us. We had such a wonderful Christmas with them, but first we had our own little Christmas at our house. Then we went to my moms, then everyone came over to our house for Christmas breakfast. It was quite the spread. We had the traditional orange pancakes by Marc, Kelly made amazing cinamon apple waffles (sooo Good), Bryson and Parker did the bacon, Gene did the eggs and hashbrowns, and Kim and I did the orange juice (he hee) it was so great to not have to do any of the cooking. Those boys are great.
