Christmas Vacation 2012

We went to Idaho.  It was crazy.  We had fun.

 

We went to Idaho for Christmas this year.  Katelynn had a good time on the drive up to Idaho.  She liked having all the blankets and pillows on her.  She did really good for the 10 hour drive.  Jane did well too.  She slept almost the whole way.  We were grateful for good weather for the drive.   

We got to spend lots of time playing with cousins. Especially the four little girls; Katelynn, Isabel, Claire, and Savitri.  They had a lot of fun together.  Katelynn had fun playing with Grandpa and Grandma too.

She absolutely loved playing in the snow.  Daddy and Jane were tuckered out one morning. 

Aunt Susan helped me with my Christmas Eve Pajamas I  was making.  I had never done pockets before so she was showing me how.  She and Joseph came up with out their families for Daniel’s Wedding.  It was great to spend some time with them. 

I made our Christmas Eve pajamas again this year.  I have a lot of fun doing that, even if I put it off till the last minute.  We had fleece ones this year, which were super warm and comfortable for cold Idaho weather. 

We had a plethora of presents and horses this year.  There were 25 people at my parents house for Christmas morning.  Aunt Jessica made horses for all of the grandkids.  They are some sweet looking horses!

Katelynn eating candy from her stocking for breakfast.  She was a little sick at Christmas, but that didn’t stop here from opening presents and eating candy. 

My favorite present was the one I got in my stocking form “Santa.”  He made me cry on Christmas Morning. 

Jane hung out with Grandma while we were opening presents. 

Kevin liked his magic card and got some yummy sauces to eat. 

Katelynn Chilling with some of her favorite toys she got.  You can tell she doesn’t feel too well. 

It was a little crazy with everyone, but was fun to see everyone opening presents. 

Idaho was lots of fun.  We played lots of games, ate lots of left over ice cream from the wedding reception, kept kids busy, and made lots of food.  What more could you ask for than spending time with a great family! 

Before we headed back to Colorado we went to Utah to visit some of Kevin’s siblings.  We had a good time seeing and playing with them for a few days.  Katelynn likes playing with her cousins a lot. 

Katelynn sleeping in the car on the way back home.  She had a little run in with Aunt Kim’s floor.  The floor won. 

It is great to visit family.  We love you all so much and are blessed to have such great families on both sides!
