We started off with a little Christensen Christmas celebration on the 23rd. where the kids got to go on a scavenger hunt to find a trampoline! They have jumped on it every day since, no matter the temperture. It has a pretty good pop to it, but it did not take them long for all of them to get the hang of it.
Conway got a marble race and lots of great books, Elle got princess dressups and makeup, Wyatt got a remote control fire truck. Briton and I got things off our wish lists and my brother got me a massage at my favorite spa! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa you spoil us!
Christmas Eve we made it to Ramah. We had a Mexican Feista at Aunt Ashlee's and Uncle Seth's then the kids all acted out the nativity and opened Christmas Pajamas. Conway had a weird stomach thing and threw up during the nativity but no one else got sick and he felt fine the rest of the week! Thank goodness, a Christmas miracle.
Wyatt got a new train set and his own Legos, and cars. Conway got 2 R/C cars and some more legos and toys.
Elle got a scooter, and lots of fun doll toys
Christmas Morning we woke up early! I am the always the one that is so excited and ends up walking up everyone else. We opened presents with Nana, Mimi, and Grandpa ate breakfast then went to church.
That afternoon we had a delicious Turkey Dinner and all the family came over and we opened more presents. Conway said it was so fun to have so many present times, he loved opening something every few hours.
The day after Christmas we drove into Gallup to visit with Granma Lambson in her new home there, it was great to see her and we ran into these boys there too!
Cousins just had a new Elementary built for Ramah and we loved trying out the fun playground equipement! they got some cool things to play with, we are glad we get to try it whenever we come visit.
Nana got snow boots for her dog, he did not like them very much.
They always have to get a ride in, not matter the temperature
Child sign post Britton and I made for Mom and Dad
Tuesday Britton helped his parents with some big projects around the house, and on Wednesday we got to spend time with extended family and butcher a whole beef and 1/2. It was fun to spend that quality time with family swapping stories and memories, I really loved it evne though it was all over raw meat. ;)
The rest of winter break we got to rest and play at home, we had one snowish day that Dad got a 2 hour delay from work
Crafting
Movies and snuggles
One day we went ice skating with Uncle Cooper while Wyatt hung out with Grandma and Grandpa.
Britton was on a temple trip. the kids did so well and is was so much fun, we tried it again with Dad and for some reason they were a lot more whiny, but i love our outdoor rink, it is my one of my favorite holiday traditions. But I am glad we did not sign up for skating lessons after the first experience, i don't think they are in love with it as much as I am.
Hope you all had a great holiday, stuffed with fun and love like Wyatt eating Fudge
yay, he can climb now...
