A few pics from Christmas.
We had a great white Christmas in Idaho. We were snowed in for most of the time, but it was wonderful to be home and with family. I loved spending time with my mom in the kitchen, I never laugh so hard as when I am with her. Our little baby on the way had an amazing Christmas from everyone. Thanks to all the Grandma's and Grandpa's and family for all the fun stuff she received. I have had a great time putting it all away in the baby nursery.

My brother Tyler and his family were able to spend most of the time up at my mom's with us. Their little boy RJ was inseparable with Presley, so he just joined the family picture.
We were all excited Christmas morning. Even Presley got in on the action of opening gifts. This is her new Christmas sweater!
Even Santa remembered Presley with this little toy, sadly it was destroyed within an hour and stuffing strewn throughout the house.
Santa brought Brandon a helmet of his own. He is now fully ready to ride!
Cousin Asia and our little baby to be got tutu's from my mom! I can't wait to use it on my little girl, and get a picture of the two cousins wearing them.
Brandon's biggest surprise was a Wii from my parents. It will be a fun game for the parents to be to play together. Thanks mom and dad!
Here are the boys playing the Wii, Tyler got one too! I guess you are never too old for toys.
We gave Asia and RJ a little igloo fort with a crawl through tunnel entrance. It was a hit.
Little RJ braved the tunnel right after his sister.
Even my dad played the fun Grandpa and got in the fort.
Presley and RJ on their afternoon nap.
It was great to see Dylan, although they could not make it up Christmas day because of the weather, it was fun to celebrate a day late with my favorite 11 yr old boy! Grandpa and Grandma gave him a cell phone for Christmas and it is clear that it will be easy to keep in touch with him, I think my last 20 texts are from him!
Asia is getting ready for the traditional Christmas snowmachine fun.
When the weather finally calmed down a bit, we drove down to see Brandon's Grandparents. Poor Grandma fell and hit her eye on the kitchen counter, we wish her a quick recovery. It was so good to see them over the holidays.

K so how come I didn't know you had a blog! So fun to see cute prego pictures of you! I ran into Franci in Rexburg and she told me you were expecting a little girl! That is sooo exciting! Little girls are so much fun! You look great! I see that you already have my blog, so I will add you to mine. We need to try to get together sometime...it has been WAY too long!

Hey Brandon, Fun pics of Christmas. Seeing your grandma makes me miss my Grandma Steel terribly. I can't tell you how many years I bottled so many different kinds of apples with your grandma and mine. I remember your grandma always had great wild stories. Happy New Year. SARAH
