We had a blast this Christmas with the family. We had everyone in the Phipps' family there except for Mr. Collin, who had to stay in Florida for work. We missed you Collin!
Without the snow, there wasn't a LOT to do outside this Christmas, so we
went for lots of walks down to the park in Kevin and Vicki's
neighborhood.
We usually pull the little ones in the wagon with lots of blankets since it's quite a climb back up to their house.
We visited Grandma and Grandpa Phipps right before they left for St. George. Grandpa has been doing much better since his surgery for bladder cancer.
Three generations. Soon we'll be able to do four male generations with our boy!
Vicki's Christmas tree is so beautiful! I love that it's covered with ornaments from the grandkids.
Since we couldn't go sledding, we tried ice skating! The little ones kept their shoes on while the bigger kids mastered their blades of glory...it was really fun to watch.
And the sleds were quite handy on the ice as well!
Hazel sure loves her cousin Kate.
I am so excited that I caught this ornery face right after she and Henry got in trouble for goofing off in the restaurant!
He loves his Carhartts. And he looks good in them too.
Papa Kevin is definitely a favorite.
That's one way to pull her around on the ice.
It happens to be the same elk farm where David took me on a sleigh ride six years ago and asked me to marry him!
There's the exact place where he wrapped a small Christmas tree (gone now) in hundreds of lights that lit up (by Collin nearby) as soon as he got down on one knee. Fun memories. Here we are 3 1/2 kids later.
One of my favorite parts of getting all of us together is the GAMES. We bought the kids version of Apples to Apples which was a big hit this year.
On New Year's, we had a great fire works show put on for us by the boys.
