Hope everyone had a great Christmas! Ours was oh sooo fun! The day just goes by way too fast. We went over to my dad's on Christmas Eve and hung out and had a nice dinner that night...that I cooked!! (with a little help from Cort!) Then the kids and Cort and my dad went out and sat in the hot tub. I tell ya there's nothing better than sitting in the hot tub while there's snow on the ground. Taylor and Chase think it's the coolest thing ever! It was all planned that we were going to sit in it on Christmas Eve and Taylor had been talking about it for weeks. Then we came back home to sleep and wait for Santa. The kids had a blast opening their presents and between Santa and their Grandparents they got pretty spoiled. But I hope that they caught the real reason for Christmas. We talked about it and about what gifts we could give to the Savior. Taylor is so sweet she told me that she could get him some frankinsense and gold. But I explained to her that those aren't the kind of gifts he wants, although those are nice too. Then she thought about it and decided that being a good listener to her mom and dad and being nice to her brother would be good gifts and I of course agreed! We sure wish that we lived closer to our family in California and in Arizona, so that we could of been with them as well, but they were in our thoughts. Family is the best! What a wonderful time of year this is, I always hate when it's over because there's something so magical about it. I am so grateful for my Savior, Jesus Christ and for his life, sacrifice, and example. One of my New Years Resolution is to strive to be more like him in the every day craziness of life. That will be my gift to him.
Happy New Year Everyone!

Man I wish I could have been up there for Christmas too. Don't worry you only missed Leones white elephant, Janee's Christmas eve hot-dog cook off/bonfire, and hanging out with the Grandparents... also we had no snow, and no hot tub, so i think ...it's a toss up on where would be the best place for Christmas. We missed you guys though. See you soon, and happy New Years.

Happy New Year! Hope you had a good one- it sounds like Christmas was good. That picture of Chase with the baseball is DARLING! Cade is just beginning to love balls- he has a train that has 3 little balls that go around in it and hasn't quite figured out how the shape of the ball works out for grabbing. He tries to hold it with his thumb and forefinger. :)
Merry Christmsas! That looks like so much fun, that reminds me of my days growing up in Minnesota, we'd sit in the sauna then run out and jump in the snow in our swimming suits,
pretty crazy!
