merry christmas

We are in Utah visiting my family for the holidays this year, and we are having a wonderful time!! It had been so much fun spending time with siblings and their respective families - especially when this is the only time we get to see them each year! 

I will definitely be posting more and more pictures once I get a chance, but I wanted to take the opportunity and express my appreciation for Jesus Christ and his life and ministry. I am grateful that we get to celebrate His birth and the wonderful gift of life He gave to us all. Because of Him, my family can be together forever - a blessing that I thank Heavenly Father for every day. 

And for all of those family members we are not with at this time, here are a few pictures to enjoy. We love you and miss you all - and are truly blessed to have you apart of our lives. 

Merry Christmas!!

Group at Burger King on our way home from exploring through the mountains to find our Christmas tree. Quite the adventure!! 

Helping L learn how to crawl. We laid a path of Gerber puffs out for him to get ... very cute!!  

K and J exercising together - quite the team!! 

My favorite little boy enjoying the snow ... 

Cousin K helping L get used to it. What a sweatheart - already playing 'mom' to him! 

S making fun of us girls who get a little emotional while opening presents. He's opening a ski movie ... I guess it may be appropriate after all. :) 

L playing with his new drum set! 

Brother-in-law J helping J-boy with the dart gun. These were very popular gifts this year ... 

As you can see the adults kind of took over the kids' toys. 

J-boy excavating his dinosaur site with Grandpa B. So cute! 

Sister T with baby A. 

More pictures to come!!
