This Christmas was very good to us. Joe was able to get over two weeks off for the Christmas break which we are so very greatful for! We stayed at my dads house down in Vail. We went to Grandma and Grandpa Jenkins house Christmas Eve which was so fun! We did a big 1000 piece puzzle. Joe is a puzzle maniac! Who new!? It was quite fun and I want to get a few more puzzles to work on during family get-togethers. Shyloh was able to meat her great great Grandma Jenkins whom is 94 years old!!! We also captured a five generation picture. It was so nice getting to see my family again! Oh how I have missed them!

Robbie was baptized on New years. I was so glad we were able to be there! I am so proud of him and his decision to be paptized. Joe had the honor of standing in the circle when he was confirmed!

We had a hoot at dads house. The horse had a bad foot so we couldn't ride her but I was able to see their Boxer give birth and take care of the new puppies! That was super fun. We made sugar cookies and played games. Its so fun there. Dad and the kids also did a polar plunge in their pool. The temp was 31 degrees!!! Yikes! I was sick but even if I wasn't I don't think I could have done it!
I was the worst picture taker during this trip. I didn't get a single picture of my dad or mom smith!!!! I'm blaming it on the nasty cold I had whilst there. I really wanted some pics of them with Shyloh... :(

We really missed Summer and her family but they will be moving to Utah in mid February so I will get to see them soon enough :)
I hope they enjoy living in Utah!
ReplyDeleteIt was so wonderful spending time with you and Joe and the children at Christmas, Honey. It was wonderful to see how much Shyloh had grown since I was there in Utah for her birth. She was so much darling, playful, smiley fun!! Nolan was so sweet too, it was so fun to watch him open his Woody doll. I'm so glad you were able to be there for Robbie's baptism too. It was great that Joe got to stand in for his confirmation. (Shane also) I am still loving the wonderful carry-all bags you made me, I love them so much! And my garlic press is the best!!!!! I also love love love my dishcloth you crocheted for me. You are always so thoughtul. I love you so much. Mom
