Christmas

We had a great Christmas at my parent's house in West Virginia! It's so nice to have them close by! Have I said that before? My brother Jake was there from Colorado too, so that was bonus! We also got to talk to my youngest brother Jared on the phone from Chile, where he's serving a mission. It was really nice to hear his voice again! They had plenty of snow for us to enjoy at their house, so we went sledding and cross-country skiing. However, on Christmas day we had some freezing rain that put little bit of a damper on our outdoor fun. It didn't stop Ryley from jumping on the trampoline though. She loves that trampoline. We also played a lot of fun games, but Ammon was on a role and swept the board each time (except for Galaxy Trucker- great game, by the way!).

Christmas morning, so exciting!


New Christmas Jammies!

They loved the monkey playdoh thing! Thanks Kinley!


T'was the night before Christmas...and all through the house...


We had a little cookout Christmas eve and roasted hot dogs and marshmallows! A new tradition I think!


The kids loved ice skating so much at Thanksgiving that we decided to do it again! They improved a lot since last time too!


Even Jensen was standing up on his own by the end of the time.

I am so glad that your parents are near you now, that must be great. How brave to roast marshmallows in the cold.
