New Years Eve

We had a fun New Years Eve and New Years down in Logan at Glen and Katherine's with the Murdoch family. New Years Eve is also Grandpa Murray's birthday so all the more reason to celebrate. We had a fun weekend and enjoyed spending time with everyone!

Super Mario Brothers kept the boys entertained.

Dance Parties, puzzles, crafts, etc...keep the girls busy.

Little America Pool Adventure

Our kids had such a great time snorkeling in Mexico--Justin and I decided to get all of them snorkeling equipment for Christmas. We were headed down to a Jazz game on the 26th so we booked a room in Little America and spent the day swimming! Little America has a fun indoor/outdoor pool, we had a great time walking outside in the snow jumping in the warm pool or the hot tub. Our family had a fun weekend!

Jazz Game and Temple Square

Justin was given Jazz tickets for the family on the 26th of December. The seats were awesome and all three kids enjoyed the game. We originally thought we would send Max to Logan with Grandma and Grandpa Murdoch, but he also enjoyed the game, having awesome seats helps keep you into the game.

We rode the Trax for the first time from our hotel to the game, that was a lot of fun. Riding the trax reminded me of Germany. We also got to spend some time on temple square. It was rather cold, but nothing the Idaho kids could not handle.

What a fun way to end the evening!

Christmas 2009

What a fun Christmas we had! The kids will always cherish this Christmas spent with Grandma and Grandpa Mecham, and Grandma and Grandpa Murdoch. All of the adults were up before the kids, in fact Justin and I had to go get them up. Amazingly they all went to bed well, and slept well in Brayden's room. Nothing like the excitement on Christmas morning!

Waiting to head upstairs!

The Excitment!!! Love it!!!

The Joy!!!

Pure Happiness!

Max in heaven with two Grandpa's attentive to his needs. They definitely perfected this race track! What a great day! We enjoyed each others company and just relaxed and enjoyed watching the kids enjoy the day!

Christmas Eve

What a memorable Christmas season we've had this year. We've enjoyed spending time with friends and family and are so thankful for our many blessings! Grandma and Grandpa Murdoch did the 12 days of Christmas for us this year, their theme was family and we enjoyed spending time with each gift the gave us. We were able to spend a little time on what matters most! We especially enjoyed having both Grandparents spend Christmas with us!

What a picturesque day we had with frost covering all the trees, not tons of snow but beautiful scenery.
