We love being at both Grandma's houses and spending time with cousins. We are quite the load with all of our clothes, presents and food and I can't thank my mom enough for hosting all the madness.
Doug and the girls, along with my sister, brother and newphew, headed to the mountains to play in the snow. There had been a storm earlier that week and the mountain was full of fresh snow. I stayed home with the boys while they napped. And the girls only lasted about 15 minutes...little desert rats don't you think?
Also Christmas Eve we went and delieverd goodies on the riding lawn mower(it has a trailer) and spent the evening giving the boys their first hair cuts and getting ready for Santa. I can't even stand it...don't they look like little boys now?
Here are the Christmas morning festivities. The girls were up right at 7 and were so happy that Santa brought them thier bikes. They promptly took a ride around the house. Also they loved passing out everyone's presents and where patient while everyone opened their gifts. At the end Audree said "That's it? No more presents?" It's sad that the excitment has to end.
Here they are with their Christmas spoils. We had a tradition growing up that you took a picture by all of your gifts...
Here are the girls riding their brand new big girl bikes! Hallejuah! We have had small little bikes for a while and Audree bonks her knees on the handles. They love them....it's so fun to watch their joy.
We also spent Christmas Day with the Davis family...I swear I am a dork and never remember to take my camera there. We had yummy hero sandwiches, played games and opened presents. We love the Davis family.
The next day we gathered all of my family that was together for a new family pic...cute huh!
We feel so very blessed to have all of you in our lives...we hope your holidays were wonderful!

Leah, you are always so good at commenting on my blog. So with it. I on the other hand take months to even get back to you. Yes, we need to get together. Maybe in a week or two? My house is always open.
By the way, cute pics. Always cute pics. Trying not to be too jealous.
What a fun Christmas. We're glad that you got to go to Thatcher and spend time with your families. We love Thatcher too.
