Christmas

Christmas Eve. . . .

We attended Christmas Eve Service at church and then returned home to open presents from our Hoffmeyer/Granrud family.  Brooklyn had a great time tearing wrapping paper off presents and the boys had a great time opening their gifts. 

After opening gifts, we headed to Aunt Darlene's for pizza and time with family.

Christmas Morning. . . .

Everyone came to our house Christmas morning to open presents.  We had breakfast and spent time playing with our new toys :)

Christmas at the Cabin

Christmas this year was SO much FUN!!  Not only are the kids at really fun ages, but Mike, Carlene, and Eli were able to fly to Boise to be with us this year.

We spent a few days up at the cabin before the holiday to enjoy the snow and go skiing.  The kids seemed to have fun, although poor Eli ended up getting sick.  We made snow forts and took the kids for sled rides. 

Festival of Trees 2012

The kids were so excited to go to The Festival of Trees this year.  They asked Grandma Connie to come with so she met us there and we also joined up with Josh, Jo, and Luke. 

The boys were able to write their letters to Santa and the kids were able to get their picture taken with Santa.  Afterwards, Ryan and Brandon participated in the Scavenger Hunt.
