The past few weeks...

Warning...this is a huge post! We have been so busy the past few weeks. We had a great Thanksgiving (no pics, sorry) and then we headed up to Midway for a week of quality family time. It was really fun to go swimming, play games, go on adventures, watch movies, lots of crafts, and have NO COMPUTER for a whole week. Here are lots of pictures...enjoy!

We hiked around to lots of hot pots in the area

Mark enjoying a little R&R
We worked on gingerbread houses while we were there...here is Mark & Em's unfinished colonioal house

This is Joshua's

Holly's and Ella's

My Dad came up for a few days and he definitely enjoyed some R&R!!!

Ammon enjoying some popcorn

Is there any more?

We hit the lanes in Heber...I had three strikes on my 10th frame!

Ella with a little help from the ramp

Josh learning the pro form
Holly had beginners luck and really did great!

Can't forget the yummy snacks!

Ella's very first bowling experience

What is Josh about to do? He looks naughty...

Warming up by the fire

The kids were very proud of their little villages

Counting down the days until Christmas!



Our friends the Kunics came up for the day...we did a few geocaches

We topped off a great week by heading up into the mountains to cut down our own Christmas tree...it was a perfect day with fresh snow & sunshine.Ammon even joined in on the fun

About to haul it home...
We were so proud that we picked the perfect size tree for our house...on the first cut!
