Snow day #2

Leave a reply

We went up to northern Utah for a few days of fun with our best friends. We took the kids sledding again and this time it was sunny and the babies went with. R hated it so much, but Monkey loved ridding the slopes. And we couldn't pry V away.

R ended up passing out.

I took R to the van to sleep and got a gaggle of kiddos that wanted a bit of a rest. They watched part of a movie before heading back out.

We had to bribe V with food and water to get her to leave. She just kept going and going and going.

V had two things on her to do list while on our Christmas vacation: Play in the snow and build a snowman.

Cousin snow sledding day happened in a bit of a blizzard. Grandma and Aunt Shannon watched the babies at Grandma's house which was such a blessing. They would have been so miserable.

We took them for hot cocoa and fries to warm up after.

Christmas 2014

This year we did things a big different. Having R in our house has changed lots of things. Well how we do things. I used to wrap presents and put them under the tree as they came home. Well R, he likes to get into everything. So present sunder the tree was not an option this year. So way up high they went.

Christmas morning I handed the presents to the three big kids to put under the tree. They really liked doing that. I might just start doing it this way every year.

To keep R from ripping into everyone else's gifts we had him in his high chair. It worked out perfectly.

Monkey slept through most everything. Snug as a bug in the sling.

Regan made me this awesome macaroni star at preschool.

Monkey just wanted to be held and I was busy doing something with one of the other four so Jon attempted to wear her. And he did dishes.

Emily took my bike to get tuned up! Such a lovely surprise. No more squeaking. YEA!

We had Jack'ee, Jason, and his brother over for Christmas dinner. It was super nice to see them.

Right after dinner we loaded the kiddos up and headed to Utah. It was a long night.
