Snow In Pine Valley

While we were at Grandma and Grandpa's we went up to Pine Valley to play in the snow. One of our family friends' has a cabin up there and invited to invade. This was the kids second time in the snow. The first time they were too little to like it or to remember it. This time the boys seemed to like it and Jaileigh didn't want anything to do with it.

You can see from the look on Jaileigh's face how impressed she was with the snow.

All my kids look a little shell shocked. They really did enjoy the snow.

There's a smile!

We went inside to warm up, dry off and to drink some hot chocolate.

Winter Camping

We were supposed to go to Park City this week but decided to not go. We were just there in June and we really couldn't afford to take another trip. We decided to stay at home and have fun. We are still going to my parents for Christmas.

This weekend we went camping. We left Thursday evening. It was raining and windy. The kids were so excited! They have been asking for a couple of weeks to go camping.

It rained all night and when we woke up the next morning it wasn't raining but there were so many cool puddles to play in.

Michael treading carefully.

The kids fought over who got to push Annie in her stroller. Anthony won this time.

Until she escaped.

Then he didn't have anyone to push!

These two are so cute together. They were holding hands all on their own.

Visiting Santa!

Jaileigh, Jake, Annie, Anthony, Michael

Annie ended up falling in the biggest puddle face first so our walk ended and we headed home.

What a happy group!

Eating smores- everytime we light the firepit I am so nervous someone is going to get burned or poke each other with their roasters. The kids have so much fun roasting their marshmellows. None of them even eat them. They just like to play with fire I guess.

Annie looking in the mirror at herself. She was being so cute.

The 2nd Day

I wanted to get a picture of all the kids on this old tree stump but only 2 1/2 would cooperate. Michael and Annie gave me smiles and Jaileigh wouldn't. Michael and Jake wouldn't even get on it for me.
