Christmans afternoon...

It was a perfect day to drive up to Idaho city. The roads were clear, the sun was out and the snow was beautiful. We had a great dinner with Ellen & Will, and the kids played all afternoon. Will & Trav took the girls sledding, while Tristin & Joshua played the Wii for hours. Ellen & I nursed baby's, ate and lounged on the couch talking. It was a nice day...

More fun...

Lots of presents...

Christmas morning...

The kids woke up about 6:50 yesterday morning and waited patiently for about 50 minutes, for G-ma & G-pa to arrive. We had a great morning filled with lots of presents. It was nice to have trav's parents over to watch the kids. We had hot chocolate and cinnimon rolls and then got ready to go up to Idaho City to spend the rest of the day with Aunt Ellen, Uncle Will & the cousins!

Happy Birthday Grace & G-ma Edith!

December 22nd was Grace's actual birthday, and she just so happens to share it with her Grandma! We went over that night to visit, have cake & play games. Earlier in the morning, Grace kept saying,in a grumpy voice " It's not my birthday, I already had my party!" I love these girls! (You would have thought I would have done her hair, huh? Apparently not!)

Willow...

Here's a few to make you smile! (I love the wide eyed one, I took 20 pictures and the flash was driving her crazy!)

A great night with friends...

Friday night we got together and met at Andrea's house for food and fun. It had been awhile and we were despretely needing "a fix". We took Papa Murphy's over and ate pizza, talked, laughed and opened presents. Christy, Gabe & "baby Bridgett" came too, it was a great night with friends!

Grace's 3rd b-day party...

We celebrated Grace's birthday a week early so all her friends could come. There were 12 little girls in princess dresses having a great time!We had games, treats and presents, but the girl's enjoyed G-pa Max putting on their make up the most!

More party fun...
