Loves For Everyone!

We had so much fun with the family for Christmas and having us all back together since Anne's return from her mission. My boys made sure to get in one last rough house and loves for everyone before our long drive home. 

 This is about the time that hugs turned into strength challenges and who could lift whom.

Snow

We love the snow in Idaho. Because it's so much colder it stays around longer and you don't get wet as quickly. I convinced my Dad to go cross country skiing and huffed and puffed trying to keep up with him. It's a bad thing his knee hurts, but I would defnitely not be able to keep up if he was in full health! When we got back from skiing the kids had completed adorable elf ornaments!

We took everyone out for sledding a pulls behind the atv. My family was the last to leave. We had so much fun jumping over tiny bumps and the bottom of the hill and the spray of snow in our faces! So many good memories!

Annual Wii Bowling Tournament

Every year we are all together we get to compete in the wii bowling tournament. There is the younger group and the adult group. The kids bowl 4 frames and the adults do an entire game. This is about the only exposure to gaming that my children have and it there is a bit of learning curve. Along with a lot of excitement! Whoever wins first gets to choose the first prize and it goes down the line to the loser that gets to choose from whatever is left. I am usually near the bottom. I stink at bowling in real life and in a game!!

Crew would excitedly jump up and down every time and Sawyer had some fancy moves that he liked to bust out. It's pretty entertaining to watch.
