From Baby to Little Man

I can't believe how "grown up" Wyatt is. His haircut didn't help... it makes him look so much older. The other day, Jon sent us a picture of Wyatt's haircut. I thought grandma was going to breakdown and shed a few tears. :)

A White Christmas

Yes- I did get my "White Christmas" this year.

There's just something special about being home with the ones you love, snuggling in a blanket, and sipping hot cocoa as you watch the snow fall.

I hadn't planned on going home for Christmas this year. Funds were a little tight and I thought it would be best to stay home... even though I HATE being away from my family on holidays. But I have the best mom in the world. So with some help from my mom I went home for Christmas. Yeah!!!! I thought it would be so fun to surprise my brother and his family since they thought I wasn't coming and my brother kept calling me trying to change my mind. So I told my mom not to tell. Well, if any of you know my brother - he can't handle secrets. He doesn't let anything "go" until he KNOWS what is going on. I guess he kept bugging my mom until she cracked and told him.... he spoils all my fun! :) At least he didn't tell the boys, so when I got home to IF the boys were out shopping with their mom- Jon called them and told them that they got a package from Aunt Kerry. When the boys came home for the package they found me. It was fun... I got a few hugs but the Judy boys had to play it pretty cool. :)

Riley

I loved spending time with my brother, his family, and my parents. It was so much fun to watch the boys... they are so cute! If only my sweet nieces could have been there.

The boys loved their guns!!

They played with them non-stop

McKay wanted me to hear his songs he learned in school. I got my very own concert! He did such a great job!

Sorry- I don't know how to fix it so it will be right side up :(

We also met up with our Balsmeire cousins at Pita Pit. It was so fun to see Debbie and her boys. I miss them.... they are so fun to be around!

The Girls Arrive

Everyone was excited to see the Hilton's. Sadie even made the trip. It's so nice to be able to enjoy the holidays with my family. I am truly blessed! Here are some high lights of what we did.

The Eagles Nest!

Mom & I walked down to see the eagles nest. I couldn't get great pics... but you can sort of see it. I tried to get a picture of the eagles, but every time I got close enough to take a good picture they would fly away... so frustrating!!! :)

Here's a picture of one of the eagles that I zoomed in big time... that's why it is a little blurry.

Fun In The Snow

We can't forget the snow!

The kids were so excited to go sledding.

They could have spent all their time out on the sleds!

Even the "little" ones had to go

They did pretty good... we only had a couple of injuries. :)



Hallie got a black eye



McKay got a bloody nose.
