Christmas Catch Up!!

I know, SUPER late, but here is our Christmas at last!  We had so much fun this year - we were able to spend Christmas Eve and part of Christmas Day in Idaho, and then we headed down to Utah to spend a few days at the cabin with the Summerhays clan.  It was actually pretty warm for St. Anthony on Christmas Eve and the kiddos all had a blast making snowmen with Cindy and Scott (better than their parents who were sitting INSIDE watching:), after a rousing tradition of Thurgood bowling.  We all had pretty amazing scores - I think it was my ball for sure!  Then we had an amazing Christmas Eve dinner at Troy and Heidi's house, which is always super yum and super fun!  The kids were super excited on Christmas morning to see their gifts had indeed made it to Grandma and Grandpa's house - we thought they would sleep in, but no such luck this year - they were up just before 7 ready to go..

When we made it to the cabin that night, we found out we were doing a family talent show, so Em, being the great entertainer that she is, organized the whole thing and it was fun to see the kids all doing something they liked and even the adults got in on it.  Also, Danny is a master sledding expert and has made an enormous sled run from the top of the driveway at the cabin, down the long hill and we had timed sled runs which were super fun.  We went bowling again, this time with the Summerhays fam and Spence did amazing, (no pic to prove, just trust me) and we had a Karaoke night - the kids LOVED that!  We also were able to take our family skiing up at Wolf Mountain and it was an....adventure to say the least.  First of all, I am not good at skiing - yet, I plan to, but I didn't do it much growing up and have only done it a handful of times since being married to mister skier, but I do like it and I want the kids to like it as well.  Anyway, we took all of them, even Grady and he loved it, but he needed constant help, so Spence was skiing backwards down the hill all day and I was helping - if you can call it that, Adri along.  Kendalyn has it down and Adri got pretty good only after a couple of runs.  So, it was fun, but maybe next time, no Grady:)

We came home to our "only lived in it two weeks before that" house and were happy to be there!  We had a great time and thanks to all who made it that way- we love you.... 

Really, I am going to blog again....

I am.  I just need to go sit in the other room to do it, and I don't want to.  I haven't converted my pictures over to my new computer yet, so I am just being pure lazy - but there are lots of fun posts to come - really!!!
