Goodbye 2016

New Years Eve has been fun.

We went four wheeling again and played lots of games.

The kids played lots of electronics and we played some card games and board games.

This year has been a good one.

We're looking forward to 2017.

Four Wheeler Fun!

The sun was shining and the snow was crisp and calling for us.

So we dressed in winter clothing and went four wheeling.

Everyone has so much fun either driving the four wheeler or riding in the sled behind it.

So much fun!

Soft, Warm Jackets

I got new jackets for Joyanne and myself.

They are the softest jackets ever.

Grant loves to snuggle up right next to me.

They are softer than any blanket and they keep me just as warm.

Yay! for soft, warm, cozy jackets!

Joyanne and I stayed up talking late.

It was nice to bond and just have some girl talk.

Amy's Wedding

I was so happy to see my niece, Amy, marry Matt in the Salt Lake Temple.

They make such a cute, happy couple.

They are moving to England, where Matt is from and has a job.

The ceremony was beautiful.

While it was cold, the snow looked sparkly and spectacular.

Jack Rabbit Hill

With the freshly new snow, we all went sledding with our new sleds to Jack Rabbit Hill.

Daddy had the most fun taking the kids down on the double tube and going further and further each time.

You could hear Daddy shout, "Woohoo!" as he sailed down the hill with a smile plastered to his face.

We bundled up in so many layers, only to find ourselves hot and shedding those layers shortly after we started sledding.

Grant was amazing as he went down the hill by himself over and over and over again.

After an hour and a half of fun times, we finally headed home for some warm hot chocolate.

A couple days ago Daddy buried Joyanne alive after shoveling the snow.

Merry Christmas!

We had a Merry Christmas.

The kids were so excited to see what they received and see what others got too.

We always open stockings first.

We got a few new games and some other cool stuff.

The day was spent enjoying our church meeting and remembering the true meaning of Christmas.

We relaxed all day, tasting treats, playing games, and just being together.

Remembering Christ

We had a wonderful Christmas Eve.

We have our last gift for the 12 days of Christmas.

The present was wrapped in over 10 boxes.

I'm sure they had fun unwrapping box after box until they finally got to the last box.

We watched Christmas movies, ate a delicious dinner, and opened the traditional present of pajamas.

We also had a special devotional of singing Christmas songs and watching the nativity.

We love Jesus and are grateful he was born.
