Our White Christmas!!!! (Pt 2)

After presents the kids wanted to go back out on the sleds. This time Uncle Ryan was here to help drive the quads.

Just another action shot of Ryan pulling the kids.

My self portrait with Seth. There were too many people around for him to look directly at the camera.

Seth actually went to Uncle Ryan...so this needed to be documented.

A random shot of the gang chowing down on the YUMMY food!

This was the cousin exchange. Can you tell Seth could have cared less about getting another gift?

He just wanted to run FREE and play!

This is a tradition from Michelle's family. You wrap a ball in crep paper and as you roll it fun little toys and prizes will fall out. The kids had a lot of fun with it. Thanks Michelle for bringing a new fun tradition to the party.

Aunt Diane with sleeping Claire.

Mom, Alisa and Ryan. We were able to have our WHOLE family together on Christmas for a couple of hours. It was the best!

Once again the kids wanted to go back out on the sleds. By this time there was a definite chill in the air...but the kids didn't care.

Cold meant nothing to them...they were just having fun!

Just another action shot of the day.

Dave brought Seth out to play in the snow.

Doesn't he look cute all bundled up?

Grandpa took Seth around for one loop. He liked it until the end and then his little face got too cold.

Our White Christmas!!!! (Pt 1)

We will start off the rest of the days activities with my self-portrait...I couldn't resist. (I am actually getting pretty good at them.)

Even though some "nice" guy in his bobcat came through our street Christmas Eve and Christmas morning we were still able to get the 4 wheelers and sleds out for a little Christmas fun! (Side note...it snowed last night and nothing...nobody came by to plow the street, what's up with that?)

Tanner and Talmage just hanging out waiting for Grandpa to take them around again.

Peyton, Sydney, Carter, Bailey and Dallin all ready to go as soon as the photo op is over.

Dad having a little fun riding the quad and pulling the grand kids. Here I think he is checking to make sure he has them all.

David was the other driver and it was nice to be able to give pretty much all the kids an opportunity to ride at the same time!

Do you know what one of the best parts of fresh powder is? Being able to make a perfect snow angel! (Thanks Tanner!)

Mom got a new Winnie the Pooh toy that rocks and says The Night Before Christmas...Seth LOVED it!!!!

Mom also has a snow globe with Mickey and Minnie in it and it plays 11 different songs...needless to say, this was a HUGE favorite with Seth.

He learned how to push it on his own WAY fast. It got a little annoying after a while but it kept him occupied, so that was good.

The Hanks family.

Alisa, Ryan and I just hanging out. Isn't he lucky to be surrounded by two cute girls?

David, Michelle and part of Sydney.

Ryan and Alisa with their present from Jodi.

Mom and Dad getting ready to open their present from all of their kids.

I gave family gifts to my nieces and nephews...here is a few of the Harrison kids with their present.

The Leishman boys showing off their new game.

Just a random picture of Jodi and some of the kids.

Seth wasn't really into opening the presents...so Amy got to open his presents. Doesn't she look excited to get some cars?

Peyton in modeling her new scarf and hat.

Talmage was WAY excited about getting a new sweatshirt.

Seth asking..."where did it go?"

All of the grand kids got a pillow case from Grandma's sock with their names on it. Here is Talmage being silly with his pillowcase.

Talmage also wanted to see if he could fit in the BIG sock that Mom used for Grandma's sock. I guess he kind of did. Silly boy!

PS--Thanks to Amy for helping to take the pictures...she had a better view then I did of the action! :)

Santa found us...

Here is our tree after Santa came, he even left something for Dad and Mom...what a nice guy!

I had to take a picture of the chocolate milk in our "other" fridge. It looked SO funny with all of the snow piled on it.

Here is a picture looking out from our garage on Christmas morning! What beautiful sight!

Another shot of the neighborhood all covered in the white stuff. :) Can you say it was the BEST Christmas gift we had?!?!!?

Here's proof that it was just a little on the chilly side...but it was fun!

Here is a random shot of a snowman that one of my primary girls made for me. Isn't he cute? He is out of clay pots.

This year Santa brought me my very own build a bear. Her name is Maxie, isn't she cute? She came with pirate jammies and a cute little cell phone that will always be with her...just like me! :)

Mom got new silverware for Christmas...it's really classy!

Dad got a couple of really nice sweatshirts.

Happy Birthday Jodi!!!

Yesterday, Christmas day was my sister, Jodi's birthday. I wanted to wish her a Happy Birthday! I have enjoyed living close to Jodi and her family for the past 9 years. She is such a good Mom and is so involved in her kids lives, which is such a good thing for her boys. I love talking to her and getting her opinions on life..she is always positive. I could go on and on about Jodi to prove to you what an amazing person she is, but for now you are just going to have to trust me. Happy Birthday Jodi! I love you! (This is Jodi and Mike...what a cute couple!)

Here is the birthday girl with Seth.
