Christmas Recap

We went over to Grami and Poppi's house for Christmas. Since we were so close to my Grandma we decided to visit her too. We took the scenic route to Grandma's house and stopped along the way to see some sheep. Look Mom...they're up there.

We saw lots of bald eagles too...beautiful!

We had some lunch and a little visit with Grandma.

Then back to Grami and Poppi's to begin Christmas preparations. The kids put out cookies and milk for Santa.

We woke up bright and early to see if Santa actually came...he did! The kids asked Santa for umbrellas and he answered.

Have you ever seen kids get so excited about umbrellas??? It doesn't even rain that much where we live! :-)

Marcus checked out his stocking first...lots of good stuff in there!

Marcus' big request this year was a Spiderman Scooter. Santa gave him a picture of one with a note that said it would be waiting for him at home. He was pretty excited.

Olivia's big request this year was a zebra pillow pet. She must have been a good girl because she got one!

Marcus got his own hunting riffle.

After we opened Santa gifts we decided to wait on the rest for Elle and Baylor to come over. They came later Christmas day. First we let them relax a little from the long car ride. Here's Elle with Poppi and Emma.

The kids took their baths and we opened the rest of the gifts. Grami and Poppi got the girls a Barbie house! Very cool!

Olivia took good care of Baylor. She's going to be such a great Mommy some day :-)

We let the kids watch a movie...look at those cuties! Getting so big!

Baylor just hung out and showed off his big smile.

The next day we woke up to snow! We haven't had much snow at home so the kids were super excited. Marcus tried to ride the big wheel in the snow but it didn't go very fast.

The girls tried to break through the ice in Oergel Creek.

They didn't have much luck with that either.

So it was off to sledding!

Uncle Colby pulled the sled. Climb on in Elle...this is fun!

Marc and I left the kids behind for a week since school and daycare are closed and we have to work. Poppi is watching them and from what we've heard things are going well. They actually come home tomorrow and I can't wait! I miss them so much!

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...have a Happy New Year too!
