Christmas 09

This might be one of my favorite pictures of all time. On Christmas Eve we usually get to Malad pretty late and the kids are asleep but this year Beck just didn't want to sleep. Nate grabbed him and Beck just kept looking up at him over and over. I think it is so precious. Beck has such an amazing spirit about him. Every time you point to a picture of Jesus he gets the biggest smile. He is really smart, and knows that we can't get enough of him. I love this boy so much. One of my favorite things about holidays are visiting with old friends, Ashley and I don't live to far from one another but we NEVER see each other. It was so fun to shop with you Ash. Thanks for sneaking away with me to get some stocking stuffers.

My dad decided to take the kids sledding but it is a little bit redneck style. There isn't too much snow so it was a little like mud sledding. He pulled a couple of sleds behind his truck on our farm.

My dad really wanted to knock Nate out of the tube. The truck was going about 60, Nate had more mud on his face, jacket and shoes, and didn't get bucked off! He was an icicle.

Kyson and Tanner were super cute shepherds and Ellie was an angel. We played the present game two different nights, where you can take the one you want. Kyson hated every present he opened, then he would cry. Well he finally got one that he loved and Nate stole it! I could have killed him for making Ky cry again.

Sledding Day Two:

We had such a fun holiday! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
