Christmas Day!

Christmas morning! Thankfully the kids slept in, so once they got up we let them open their stockings, then we read the Christmas story! Then grandpa, grandma and aunt Ashley came and we let them open their gifts. Hunter didn't have much to do with any of it. We had to open his gifts for him, but once they were opened he loved them. Brylee was on a mission she knew she had to get thru all of her gifts and she didn't change emotion thru any of them. Once they were opened then she went to them one at a time to play with them and had to have them out of the box before she went on to another one. Jordan was helpful and patient while the little ones tended to skip her turn in opening gifts, but was rewarded in the end when she was totally suprised by her last gift that we hid...a phone!!! She was shocked I thought her heart was gonna bust thru her chest. Too funny! I got a beautiful mothers ring from Josh and the kids. We had a great Christmas, but we're more thankful for the fact that everyone was healthy this year and we could be together.





Dad playing with the kids and their new toys! I think dad is enjoying the microphones more than the kids :) I'm thinking we will have several night of entertainment to come.


Hunter was all into posing for some reason this night I don't know how many pictures I have of this same pose, he is such a ham!

After opening gifts, eating some of grandma's wonderful cinnamon rolls, and a good nap we went to grandma and grandpa's house for Christmas dinner. And got full all over again :)


Like I said Hunter was wound up this night. He was kissing on grandma, wrestling ashley...watch out!

Christmas Tree!


View from the top!




Ok so how many years have we lived here in Wyoming now??? We have talked about going and cutting down our own tree every year and have never done it. So this year we finally decided to go and do it. We had such a great time. We went with some friends of ours the Brandts. We stopped at the Flaming Gorge Resort(i think) and had lunch in this cute log cabin looking place, they had horse and wagon rides going on. Then off up the mountain to find our tree. Thankfully there wasn't any snow so it wasn't too cold, just wind(I know big suprise in Wyoming :) Actually we were in Utah. Anyway, we are definetly going to do this again next year and the next.
