Christmas FUN

Cmas morning. Playing with remote control car

Surprise train set

Trying to hold back the Cmas eve excitement for a few pics.

Cmas EVE

A visit from the big man himself (a few days before Cmas)

Talk about a wild Christmas! We had such a great time being home with the family for Christmas. Although we truely did miss our Sun Valley family - after 8 years away, it's about time we were home for at least one Christmas....right??

We got spoiled rotten this year and I'm not even sure we deserved it. :)

We jumped back and forth between families a bit trying to spread the love, but in the end totally enjoyed ourselves. We ate way too much food, played a few too many games, stayed up much too late, didn't quite sing enough Christmas carols but had a very MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Thanks Grandma, Papa, Oma and Opa! Love you sisters, brothers, nieces and nephews! We had a wonderful Christmas vacation! Thanks for letting us stay for so long!

(Turns out I took way more video then photos of Christmas Eve and Day...oh well.)

Leaving a legacy

My dear Grandfather passed away after 91 years of an extraordinary life. He left a legacy of faith that has been passed down to his 7 children, 48 grandchildren and 100+ great grandchildren.

Anyone who had the chance to meet him felt his unbiased love immediately. He was the most unselfish man I've ever met. He taught me so much about being a good person, loving those around you, and building a strong family. I miss him, but cherish every moment I got to spend with him.

I love you Grandpa!

"I love you, a bushel and a peck!"

Pickleville Christmas

All the Davis grandkids surrounded by the cast of "Once Upon A Christmas." With 4 of my siblings in the show, my heart was busting with pride. How do I have such a talented family? You guys ROCK!
The show as wonderful. The music was so fun! Thanks all for a great night!

(seriously T.J....where does your talent end??? I love you and think you're absolutely amazing. I'm so lucky to be your sister)

A snowy Utah visit

Getting ready for the big night!

Tanner
(he's so fun to take pics of...he'll always flash a smile to the camera)

Frosty the Snowman....What a fun snowy activity!

Although our reason for a early visit to Utah was a sad one, we didn't let the chance to enjoy family pass us by. I love my family! The more often I come home, the more I realize how much I love and miss them!
Happy Holidays!!

Visit from Friends

Chocolate Fondue night. The kids loved it, but lets be honest...we did too!

All tuckered out after a long day at the museum

A visit with Santa at the museum. We just happened to be at the right place at the right time.

Elliot was so brave. He jumped right on and took off, didn't even bother to see if I was nearby.

The kids loved the slide. We did it several times.

My Best friend. Love you girl!

We had such a fun visit with the Clements! You know you have great friends when we can get together after a long break and just continue where we left off. I love this family so much!! Elliot was so happy to see Logan!
After all the fun day time events the best part of our day was when the kids went to bed and the adults sat in front of the Wii and played Mario Brothers! We laughed so hard! We felt like kids again. Seriously laughing till we peed our pants. Who knew Mario Brothers could be so funny?

Love you Sarah and Glen. Please come back soon! We miss you already!

Disney On Ice

What a fun fun experience! Elliot loved it! His favorite was Buzz Lightyear and Peter Pan. The only hard part was leaving. It was late, we had to say no to all the over priced toys and Elliot was sad to leave...what did that = TEMPER TANTRUM. Once we got out of the crowd and sat him down to talk it through he settled and had fun talking about all the things he saw.
It was a great way to get a "bit of Disneyland" without leaving Indy!

And it begins...

There's not much else that needs to be said....except....
GOOD LUCK mommy!
