After Christmas Fun

We got into Idaho only a few days before Christmas, so the majority of our time there with our families was after Christmas. And we got in some good playtime together!

Christmas day brought us some snow, so the day after we just had to get out in it and play. 

My favorite Picture - cute boy!!! 

 For lunch we had a hot-dog roast around the fire pit in my parent's backyard.

 The Idaho museum kept their Nativity and Santa Display up for a few days after Christmas so we stopped in for a look. Grayer enjoyed it, but mostly wanted to skip all the "look at stuff" and head straight to the kids area.

Mad that I made him stop for a picture, I am a horrible Mother:) 

Proof that there really was a Santa Display!

My brother, Jon, and his family live in Idaho as well and invited us all over for dinner and games one night so my Mom could have a break from cooking. We had a blast at their house, especially Grayer, he loves playing with all his cousins! 

Grayer with my Brother's cute kids, he fits into their family, don't you think? 

After dinner we went downstairs and played "Just Dance" on the Wii.

 Whenever we go home my girlfriends and I always try to get together for lunch. This year Jen and I were the only ones in town so it was just the 2 of us but we had a blast talking for hours! 

 Before we left the West to fly back home to NY we drove down to Salt Lake City to spend a few more days with family. We went to the new (or at least new to us) Family History Children's Museum. What a cool place.

 One night my sister, Amy, and her husband, Mike drove into Salt Lake City for dinner. My Mom and Dad took us out to dinner at the "Roof" in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building - Fancy!! We had never been before, it was really nice and delicious. 

This was our view from our table

I was trying to be artistic with these two pictures:)

 We went to church with Amy and her family. My niece Ana is a little "mini me" because just like me she loves everything "girl" she loves make-up, she loves to do hair, but most of all she loves earrings. She loves to take out my earrings and put them back in again and again. Anyway after church I let her dress me up....

Notice, she put my bracelet in my hair, my earrings are hung over my ears, my rings are on different fingers  plus I am  adorning all their finger puppets:) Thanks Ana girl I love you!
