Merry Christmas

This time of year is so great, yet very hectic. It has been a blessing staying at home for the past week and a half - its been a FULL HOUSE - with Jamin home, too. We enjoyed the snow as a family and of course, Christmas. It was so great to see Jamin's brother Taylor and his adorable family Stephanie (my sister-in-law), Kaitlyn (20 months) and Alexis (2 1/2 months). They were visiting from Idaho - sure wish they lived closer:-) The kids had a blast on Christmas Eve, Christmas morning, Christmas Day, Christmas Evening, the day after Christmas...it hasn't stopped. Just too much "stuff" to play with. All in all, I can honestly say we feel so blessed to have a healthy and happy family. We hope everyone is enjoying their holiday time and looking forward to a wonderful New Year in a few days. Here are a few pics from the past week:
This was the night of Dec. 21 - Jamin had to scrape the sidewalk and driveway at around 11p that night:-)

"Help I can't walk and definitely can't crawl in this huge snow suit-thing you have on me" (thank you Sarah Cypher for the snow gear hand-me down)Kara and Bryce hangin' out

Here is Bryce with his cousin Brittney on Christmas Eve (that would be my brother's daughter - I know I think this is the first time my brother's family has had a picture on this blog!) Merry Christmas:-) I can never get all 3 of them to smile at the same time. Two out of three is always good. (this was Christmas Morning) Thank you Grammie for the Christmas pj's. Yes, she makes ALL her grandchildren Christmas pj's every year! And the number of grandchildren continues to grow. I think it might slow down after the next two arrive (total 13 by next Christmas).
