RECAP: December

Did I really take a three month break?!?!?!  Yup, sure did.  Let's start where we left off and work our way back to our current events.  Here's what we've missed:

Christmas Tree Decorating




The kids learning that most nutcrackers don't really crack nuts... without breaking their jaw off that is...
Many tears were shed.


Having a Zoo trip and watching Grandma Bluth go down the Polar Ice slide - highlight!!


Cookies and Hot Cocoa

Snow Day at Power Ranch!



Paige's Music/Dance class recital.
She wasn't even nervous and made it through the whole thing perfectly!  What a champ!!


CHRISTMAS BREAK:
Drove 15 hours to Logan, Utah to spend out Christmas vacation with the Forbis Family.
Paige barfed 12 times, Jack screamed 5 hours straight,  Calvin threw tantrums like it was his job, and we parents vowed never to make that drive again...

HOWEVER, the stay was fun-filled as always!

This was the most successful "Christmas Eve Jammies" photo I could scrape together with 3 exhausted little ones.



Christmas Day!



Taking an eventful train ride to Salt Lake City.

Dressing up the kids in snow clothes even though there was NO SNOW!! 
Talk about a bummer!  But we still found some fun.

Getting to visit Kelsey, one of my buddies from college, and her cute kiddos!
I was trying to set Calvin up with her Hallie but he was less than cooperative, hmph.

Playing with the chickens on Grandma's "farm"!!

And of course the drive home, which pretty much sealed the deal of us swearing off long car trips for a while.  Happy December!
