Christmas Pictures

I’m going to post a ton of pictures from Christmas, because I’m playing the catch up game.  Just enjoy!

Mimi and Papa came over for a little early Christmas.  They came to share dinner with us and let us open Christmas presents from them since we would be in UT for the actually Christmas festivities.

Papa made each of the grand kids the coolest bank.  It is a very nice, wooden box, with the door being one of the old post office box doors (with the old combo locks on it).  Each one has a number on the door, the number matches their birthday date (16, etc.)  So fun to have their own locking bank/safe.

Mimi made James a cuddle quilt.  He loves it.  He just wanted to sit on it the rest of the evening.

There was a love of fun games and presents to open.  The kids got spoiled, and Christmas was still 6 days away!!

 

Christmas in Utah

A snowball fight.

Note:  Cam doesn’t tone down his fighting tactics even though the enemies were a 5 year old and a 3 year old.

Look at those chunks of snow Cam has.

 

The grown up boys built a sled ramp off the steps of the deck.  It was just the right size for the kids.  Even the BIG kids!

Look how happy Cam is to be sledding!

James loved it too.

(Phil was the repair guy that would fix the damaged ramp)

 

Brad’s cool sledding trick.  (Also note Cam in the background spraying water on the ramp to ice it down. It’s getting serious now!)

This picture is great.  It looks like all the sledding pics were taken on some kind of movie set.   (Kylie, Leah, Pops, Marnie, Kim)

 

Phil, Austin and Brad---looking at Nerf guns.  They all wanted one for Christmas.  You can make them get older, but you cannot make them grow up.

Santa did know that he really wanted a Nerf gun, not a truck!

Leah loved to give the boys hugs.  James was very happy to oblige and would give her lots and lots of hugs every day!
