Home safe and sound

We are back home, safe and sound. It was a horrible drive and one that I don't think we will do again anytime soon. I just realized I posted all my pics. backwards. I HATE that! Oh well, I am too tired to redo all of it. I am horrible choosing pics. (I always want to use all of them) so there are a lot! I will have to do another post tomorrow with the X-mas pics. and our other activities from the week. G & G's house had LOTS of snow! We had fun playing in it and going sledding down the ENORMOUS hill!

Brayden being a nice big brother!
The princess did not like falling in the cold snow.




Strong Grandma helping Princess Ellie.





I have been trying to get a pic. of all three kids together for the last few weeks. It hasn't happened yet. This is how it started.....





This is how it ended! Dani was in tears and Brayden went stomping in the pond.












Kalin and Tyler took on the huge task of making a gingerbread house with Brayden. I love them for that! I am not good at it, and it is so messy! He had a ball with them and it turned out really cute!


















Mom and I tried to work on a puzzle and entertain the girls at the same time, it wasn't too successful. I am loving my outfit here... pajama pants on early, were my pants already too tight one day into the trip? It was down hill from there...

Uncle Ryan up and dressed in real clothes and eating nachos two weeks after cardiac surgery, who would have thought?



This pic. cracks me up. This is us heading out for the 'couve. We got the girls up and dressed and gave them breakfast to eat in the car. I came downstairs after gathering more stuff and Dani was sitting in the drivers seat. She did NOT want to move. If she could have sat there the whole way, maybe she wouldn't have screamed most of the way. Control issues???


Dad got back into town and we went sledding the night before we headed to the 'couve, but it was COLD!


Thanks for the cute hats Shelbi!


This is rudolph and it is adorable on his little head!




Speed racers!

I love all the pictures! I hate when I do the pictures backwards too. I'm so glad we got to see each other, I hope Kent didn't think that I needed a muzzle. I got home and realized I did quite a bit of the talking...guess I needed some friend time, eh? I hope you'll be able to catch a flight soon if you don't want to make the drive. I love hanging out with you. Have a great new years, and good luck getting into the routine again. Love ya.

So, I'm not the only one who gets frustrated trying to figure out how to post my pictures in order...

You deserve an award for handling your holiday trip! That must have been an intense drive!

Have a great New Year's!
