Cousins

I was going through pictures and found these cute ones of Will with some of his boy cousins! We love coming down and spending time with everyone!

That is a great picture of Stan and Grandma! I've never seen that one!

What a fun time!

This year Andrea and I went home to sleep with the babies.

So Stan, Bridger, Zach, Cade, Reed, Jadey, Max, Emily, Hadley and Dad were the ones who spent the night.

We had breakfast casseroles made and ready to warmed up so they had yummy breakfast in the morning.

Reed brought up the projector too, so they had fun watching big movies on the wall.

I love this tradition.

Gingerbread Houses

We had so much fun on Saturday making our Gingerbread house. We made another one last night, thought we would share some pics.

This is our Gingerbread house from Saturday night!


Melanie and Will!

Our Gingerbread house from Monday night! (we made our own gingerbread...what a process!)

The easy part

Every blog needs at least one entry.. I'm really good at that! I thought I would write a little something.
I just got off the phone with Chad's mom and she said "Wow, your family does SO many fun things together." I agree! I cherish all the fun times we have together. From an early age, I think mom and dad have create fun memories and good times for the family. Like our Sunday drives when we were little and the countless trips to Zion's and many other places. I'm just now starting to realizing how much effort it takes to do those things, and I'm sure I will realize it even more in the future :)

I hope we continue these fun traditions and stay close as a family- FAMILIES ARE FOREVER!

Love y'all (that is my practice in Texas talk)
