Family is not an important thing. Its Everything.


Christmas time for us means family, family FAMILY.
Monday morning was at Aunt Kims and Monday afternoon with the Chipmans.

The kids were little stinkers at Aunt Kims we were ready to trade them in!! There were enough kids there-we could have left with four new ones!! I am sure no one would have noticed except the little stinkers themselves!!


Its always a excellent time when you gain a recipe that has been ridiculously well used! Thanks Aunt Kim.

Off to spent the afternoon and evening with the Chipmans!
It is so nice to see them, its pretty hard to get together when most of them are single adults busy with school and work and missions!




Everyone is so good with our kids. We have been the only ones with kids for the last 7 years and they all make such a effort to play with them and include them. It is so nice for Justin and I to come and see our kids having so much fun playing with all our older cousins.





We played dodge ball, skipped rope, holl-la-hooped, played on scooters, a kiddy bounce house, basketball and Dutch Blitz.


Afterward we headed over to Aunt Shawna's for dinner and more playing for the evening. Aunt Shawna showed us her amazing new dough art, I am so hopping she will show me how to do it someday soon!


Thank you for such a great day family!!

New Toys!

Boxing Day we headed out for a bit to a Moxley family get together, but other then that we spent the next 3 days playing with our new toys.


Annaliesse put together 3 lego sets almost completely by herself.
Kalia enjoyed drawing in her new sketch book and painting.
Barker was super busy with his romote controlled truck, bow and arrows, nerf gun and tons of other new toys.




We did happen to see spiderman at Costco when we popped out for a few things.


And the kids tried out their new adorable jammies I got them from online!
