CHRISTMAS GALORE

For Christmas this year we had the wonderful opportunity to travel home to Idaho to see family!! We had such an amazing time, it was hard to leave when the time came to come back home. We are lucky to have both my family and Andy's family close together because it allows us to see both families when we come home to visit. Here is the break down of our Christmas Celebrations....

Flying Home... The Rochester airport had a great little kids area to play in while we waited for our flight!


Christmas Eve... That day we went sledding and had a "winter picnic" at the park. I didn't get any pictures of the picnic but I sure did get some fun ones of us sledding.

My brother Jon and his son Prescott

Jon's wife Melinda and their daughter Audrey (I loved their pigtails)

My nephew Porter

My nephew Daniel

My beautiful Mom

That night we had a relaxed Italian dinner of pizza and pasta and then had our usual Christmas Program. I guess I am always too busy stuffing my face to worry about taking pictures during our meals because again there are no pictures of dinner. But, I did get a few of the program!

This is our cute Nativity, Grayer was supposed to be the Donkey but he wouldn't cooperate.

This is the best we got of our little Donkey
