Tim and Miles have some similarities. I miss living so close to Devin and Sarah and Tim!
This picture brings me SO much joy. This is the first time Katelyn was old enough to actually care about her cousins when she saw them.
Most handsome guy in the room. He's even more handsome holding that baby boy.
Grandma makes Christmas come to life. Her decorations and gifts bring huge smiles, but her positive attitude and love is the main reason Christmas morning is so special at her house.
Aunt Megan gave the kids a board game. The BEST board game. You have to work together to win. There should be more board games like this. My kids are so much happier when they are done playing and they had so much fun!
Miles and Aunt Megan!
Katelyn loved her Christmas present.
Ben's Christmas gift to mom was to help her with house projects. A few of them were replacing light bulbs, going to get two ikea pieces of furniture and then put them together.
Katelyn was SO lucky to play with Brittany so much. Especially because she was in a "you can only touch what I give you" phase. Brittany was so patient!
Trip to BYU while the boys went to Star Wars with Grandma. We love this campus. We love BYU. Go Cougs!
We met at the ski rental place.
First ski trip!
Troy got it down after a couple of hours. Liam got it by the end of our morning. Ben and I, especially Ben (because he was with Liam), were exhausted after. But we were so proud of these boys for sticking with it. Its hard the first day. I hope we can go twice next year.
"We did it" smiles.
Back to Grandmas to play some more.
Not pictured: Michael's baptism in Preston, Idaho. Katelyn stayed with Grandma Jana, since we didn't have enough seats. It was so special to have Troy see his best friend choose to be baptized. Troy's own enthusiasm and desire grew.
We went back to Stefan's family for some food and great conversation. What a beautiful home and land. It was also fun to see Elder Harris and Sister King (missionaries that were in our area and are getting married!)
We went to visit Grandma and Grandpa Allsop one more time.
Devin and Sarah were on a date, so we got to have Tim with us.
We put Tim to bed with Liam, but there was no sleeping involved. Poor Tim missed mom and dad.
Katelyn was so excited to sleep on the top bunk.
Flight home. Katelyn organized her snacks.
This picture shows our exhaustion well. Troy didn't make it far before he fell asleep. Haha.
