Christmas was P-E-R-F-E-C-T thanks to these stinkin cute boys. They are so much fun right now. Christmas is just as exciting as it used to be because i get to see their faces light up like mine did years ago. We had lots of fun parties this year, movie watching, book reading, light seeing, game playing and treat eating!
We managed to sneak a semi-family picture at the Bird party. Tys was probably around trying to pry a baby out of somebody's arms. Good thing he's been around the twinners and his sisters new little baby so he can get his baby fix in for awhile!
The big man showed up at a few of our Christmas parties of course, Owen liked him as long as he didn't have to look him in the eyes.
Reg didn't quite dig Santa this year..UNTIL he pulled out a treat.
Merry Christmas to me...IM GOING TO STOMP! Mom surprised me and i am stoked to go! I also received some super awesome pots and pans from my fabulous Inlaws. Now we can eat eggs minus the teflon. YEAH!!
Christmas Morn and Owen couldn't be happier. He got his "snowboard" from Santa (aka-a green 6 dollar saucer sled) Sweet!
This is such a classic Christmas Morning picture...bed head, tired eyes, a smile and of course hands down the pants. Nice Reg.
A little brotherly love on the Eve of Christmas.
We decided to be adventurous and go on a midnight snow shoeing adventure up wasatch state park that was put on by "friend of wasatch" (even thought it really started at 7:30). We were lead by a "pro" snow shoe-er who was dubbed the name "coach" by our group. He was a sweet old man who wanted to make sure we had fun. Here we are with him in the above pic
A bunch of my mom and dads hilarous neighbors came along and we are glad they did. Coach was buddy buddy with a few of the guys and turned them into our leaders throughout our hike... coach even said at one point, "if you get seperated and lost, just go back over there." (Um..were up in the mountains surrounded by glittery snow with no sence of direction but thanks coach!) When we got a point where we could see over heber valley, Ryan pulled out some martinelli's and we had some bubbly...very fun.
Sister came up this weekend to do some photography, so of course we had each other almost peeing our pants in laughter. We hiked up this huge mountain and then slid back down on our bums and we CRUISED! Coach let us hike back up and do it again while the rest of the group waited for us at the bottom. He was so excited we were having fun.
Overall, it was such a fun advenutre that i have never done before. The snow was SO pretty. It was just what i needed right now as i was finding it hard to see why i live in Utah when i hate being cold. But you know, it was really fun and i enjoyed being up in the mountains minus my worrying about avalanches and wild animals. A cup of hot choco and cookies concluded our adventure. Can't wait to do it next year.
