I am not going to lie that I was not so excited to be taking yet
another trip up to
SLC again, but it was worth it to see Minnesota cousins. We spent a lot of time at Bob's parents house and the kids had a great time. This picture is of Gil who climbed up onto
Grandy's Ottoman, then onto a tray!
This is cute Ella, who is very nice and who my daughter bit really hard while playing with her!!!(gasp) She has never done this before but she decided to try it out on Ella. You think the Gypsy's might take her for awhile?
Can't you just see trouble written all over her? After we left, my mom told me Gwyn was like three children in one. Yeah, she is a spitfire. In all reality though she is so dang funny, and she knows it. She had some great lines this little Christmas Break.
Here is Milly who was so kind to share all of her toys with the visiting cousins.
Mr. Caleb has grown so much. He seems to be a very mellow little man.
This picture was taken the night before we headed up North. Gwyn would not go to bed until I took a picture of her "darling baby".
Brooke,
Minie, and myself.....Kennan trying out my new camera.
Granny Billie came for a visit and we snapped this picture of her with a bunch of her great grand-kids.
When we woke up Friday morning this is what we found....The boys had found Grandpa Mike's stash of Christmas Pistachios.
After eating enough they thought that it would be great to make a picture out of the shells! Of course, Abe woke me up to get me to take the picture.
The boys went
Snowboarding with the
Dorny's and had a good time. I just hung out, and it was really nice. My mom and I watched a movie during the day on Saturday while babies napped. We went to the Movies one night(P.S. I Love You...loved it!)Thank you to my cousin Chris who stayed at the house so we could go. We played some mean games of Clue a couple of nights with all the
Lamoreaux's. My mom and Dad watched the kids so I could go to a friend party.....It just all goes so quickly. I am really bugged that the kids have to go back to school Jan 2! What
happened to longer
Christmas breaks? I am not ready to send my boys back to School.
Stephy J!!! My friends from Childhood still try to get together once a year around Christmas. Steph just had her fourth baby and was looking great and giggling like she always has.....Her laughter is contagious!
Ally hosted this gig. She is my anchor! I love her and also think she looks great. She is definitely voted most changed from school days. She happily pulled out her old photo Album to show us some treasures of pictures.
Annie.....I love getting together with her. She left the White House after 7 years and a huge position just before Christmas. She has amazing stories and has visited 40 different countries. I don't know where to begin on how much happiness it brings me to see her and hear her stories. If you know any great single guys let me know...she is a catch.
This picture shows the ladies giggling over the old pictures. Mandy is on the right.....she wasn't in our original group of friends but we will claim her. She is so fun and it was awesome to see her again, was she always that funny?
Here we all are...we are missing a few friends and they were really missed but it is always nice to get some of us together. I didn't have a great close up of Holly but I love to see her and she is always great about trying to pull these things together....she is the glue. She of course is our California Babe who runs on the beach everyday while saving the day with her social work. I have to say I think I have some of the greatest friends ever. Once again, there never seems to be enough time to catch up on everything.
