Christmas Happenings

What a good Christmas we had this year. The boys are at such fun ages, I could hardly wait for them to open presents and have fun with their new stuff. I didn't take a ton of pictures on Christmas morning...you know, you get kinda side tracked once the kids start opening presents and they are so excited. Also...it takes to long to open the toys for kids now...with all the dumb packaging.

Logan loves these Hulk gloves....I'm sure the boys will have fun with them, but my guess is somone will end up crying (probably Logan)

I got Jason a couple of suprises.....an ipod, GPS and a new golf club. I loved it...he didn't know about any of them.

Over at Grandma and Grandpa Sheppard's on Christmas morning. We made our way over there...it took forever to get there. We had to pack everything up (cause we were leaving for Idaho that afternoon) and it was like a blizard outside. Tons of snow...wind....and bad roads. Jason had to even drive his truck so he could take Beau in his kennel since his mom and dad were watching him while we went to Idaho. So it was a real production just to get there. We of course got spoiled more at their house. I got a new camera from them....my favorite! You would think that as much as I take picture I would have invested in a nicer camera before now, but I have had the same old camera for years (and I think I even got it free somewhere). So they got me a nice Nikon Coolpix camera...and what a difference. I love it!

We always have a nice breakfast over at Jason's parents, then do gifts....then this year we were heading out to Idaho. So we got on the road early so we could get all the way to my parents before dark. The first half of the drive wasn't bad weather really, but the second half wasn't fun. We had to really slow down and take it easy in all the snow.....but we made it.

The kids....passed out....Christmas can be alot of work! :)

Being at my parents house was the funnest part of Christmas to me. I just loved being there, hanging out with everyone. Just being lazy and not doing much. Here is Bridger playing with some of his new legos (he loves to build).

Bridger and Logan....Logan loves his new Leapster he got.

Grandpa helping Logan with a new puzzle.

Kristi modeling my new camera case. It was funny, I had just mentioned that I needed to make sure and get a case for my new camera so it didn't get banged up, and off goes mom to sew me a little case. My mom really is amazing, she can sew anything and is so talented. I love the new case...its working out great!

This is what the living room looked like most the weekend. Everyone just laying around and playing games and having a good time. It was great to see everyone!

Kristin kept trying to get some quality snuggle time in with Logan, but most of the time he just doesn't hold still (or stop talking) long enough to really snuggle or relax! Nice try though!

And last, but not least! We did some karaoke. I took our stuff to Idaho. I thought it would be fun for the whole family to get in on. They loved it. Of course...whats not to love right?

As if the roads on the way to Idaho weren't bad enough....here we are on the way back to Utah. I don't mind driving in the bad weather...I just hate all the idots that still try passing you and still just keep driving so fast. We also got a nice big chip in the windsheild. There is so much salt and gravel on the roads it just kicks up at your car. We were not happy about that at all....who wants new chips and dings on a new car?

Once again, we made it home just fine and overall had a great Christmas and long weekend in Idaho.
