Post-Christmas Fun!

We have had so much fun over this two week break from school.  We have had days where we don't change out of our pj's and just cuddle up infront of the tv (most of them were sick days with the influenza...no fun!) and we have spent other days bundled up out in the snow.  What a blast! And days with cousins at our grandma's houses.  We are busy making memories for sure!

 Rhett got a BB gun and a bow and arrow for Christmas. Ryan took him out for a quick lesson on it.  He was pretty good at it and thought it was great!

 With the snow comes sledding! Ryan plowed it into a pile and they have played and played on that pile!!

 Laiklie and Rhett got these GIANT sized stuffed animals this year for Christmas and they are so fun to cuddle while watching movies. Laiklie has made us haul her puppy to my parents house TWICE! It takes up an entire seat plus some in the suburban! What a funny girl! She also made my sister haul it to Preston in her car for the few days she spent there. hahaha!

 Goofing! We did a lot of that over the break!

 And a lot of cuddling too! My favorite!

 We spent a few days at grandma and grandpa Jake's with our cousins.  They were COOOOLD days and after sleeping in the chilly upstairs all 6 of these littles huddled around the fireplace to warm up.  Loved it!

 And these two goofballs helped grandma clean and organize a cupboard.  These are arm covers for a couch they found and wore as hats.  These two crack me up!! Such funny teenagers!

 And more sledding!! My sister took the girls home with her and we brought Tyce home with us and the three little boys wanted to go sledding at Grandpa Hawkins pit for New Years Eve.  It was a very cold -2 degrees....but you would never know from the fun they had! After an hour of sitting in the suburban watching them I made them come home.  They would have played all day long I think!

This has been an incredible year for our family! We are so very blessed and so grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who has His hand in our lives! Here's to the start of another great year!
