It was a cold snowy drive but we arrived at my parents’ house the evening of Dec 26th. There were a lot of wonderful people I love there waiting for us, so that was awesome!
We got to meet Mikey for the first time, he’d proposed to my sister Joni the day before!! He seemed a little nervous to meet our big Mormon family, but I don’t know why? j/k :) Mikey was very nice, and I look forward to getting to know him better, my sister Joni is one very special girl and deserves the best!
The next day we did a sort of “mock” Christmas morning, that came out wrong… we pretended it was Christmas morning again.
Can you believe all of this stocking my mom Santa had to fill!! They went down both sides of this railing.
Then we reenacted the nativity…
And some other pictures from the morning I wanted to include, just a lot of playing, hanging out and laughing! Except for Jacob, who was very cranky and sick… :(
Next up was matching outfit pictures of the cousins (and a few necessary adults) on the sectional! Of course it quickly turned into mayhem…
This is my talented brother Jonathan, working on a painting for my house! Isn’t he awesome? I can’t wait to get it on the wall!! Because our walls are bare! My mom did a craft with the kids, making picture frames to keep their new cousin photo in.
Then there was sledding in the front yard!
I know what you’re thinking… How much can she cram in 1 post??? Well, there’s more!!!!!!! Here’s some pictures from our visit to Josh and Meg’s house one morning.
Cute little Jamison and Jacob, tried to share the bacon, but it was hard! One of Jacob’s nick names is “little handsome,” I think it’s obvious why!
I asked Dan to take a couple pictures of me and Jenny, who despite the way her coat is puffing out in the photo is looking very thin and fit! She is getting super strong and ripped doing her crazy cross-fit stuff. And I just threw in all of the pictures Dan took of me in those 2 min he had the camera… because, as we all know, it’s hard to get pictures of yourself! This may be all we get this year! j/k
Ok, ok, ok, I guess that’s enough for 1 post. :) Don’t worry, I’ve got plenty more where that came from, but you already know that. ;)
