WE DREAMT OF A WHITE CHRISTMAS....

AND BOY DID WE GET ONE!!!

I just returned from a three week trip to my parent's house and we had such a great time! These are some pictures from my parent's back yard. There was a little snow on the ground when I got there, but starting on Christmas Eve, it didn't stop for about a week. They had close to a foot on the ground. There hasn't been this much snow in Idaho for quite a while! It sure was fun to have a white Christmas.
It was so much fun with all of us (minus Chris on his mission) home. Blake was only able for come for a few days, but Chels and the twins were there for a couple of weeks. Nate, Kate and their little Hayden were also there for a couple of weeks, so my parents had a house full. The kids LOVED to get bundled up and go sledding behind the four wheeler, and I'm pretty sure all the parents enjoyed it just as much! The twins and Brynlee played really well together, considering their ages, and were missing eachother when they went back to St. Louis. Crew and Remi go to bed about an hour earlier than Brynlee, so when it was time for them to get their PJ's on it became "Nakey time" for all of them. I got some fun pictures of them all Nakey together, but figured I shouldn't post them! They would run around the whole house yelling "I'm Nakey" and we would all enjoy it! One day Brynlee very politely asked Mimi if she wanted to get Nakey with her, but my mom politely declined!! :) It was so funny! We LOVE spending time with family, and hope to be able to do it again soon!

I loved this picture of Chels and Crew on the Fourwheeler!

We didn't bring much in the way of snow clothes for Brynlee, so we made due with what my parents had. The kids loved this!
