Christmas Vacation Part VI: Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve was fun. Grandpa Mote, David, & Sarah came down to spend it with us.

 Aren't we cute!

Christmas Vacation Part V: Sledding

Since there was no snow in the valley in Utah we had to go up into the mountains. Luckily there are mountains close to my parents house so we didn't have to drive to far to find snow. We had a blast sledding that day! Before we left Kennadee said that she did not want to sled and that she was too scared. Luckily we were able to talk her into trying it out and she absolutely loved it!

 All bundled up ready to go!

 Let's GO!

Christmas Vacation Part IV: Fun with the Newmans

On Monday we had Jessica bring the kiddos over so we could decorate Gingerbread Houses and Sugar Cookies. It was so fun to spend time with them. 

 Ashtynn!

They made little Christmas trees made from stars. They were so cute!

That night we went over to their house for dinner. It was delicious! Steak, potatoes, veggies! Yum! 

Then we played the traditional game of Monopoly that Russell and Cole love to play. Russell was actually the first one out followed by Cole! Usually Jay and I are out first and the game goes on between Russell and Cole for hours! But this time I actually won! It was great!
