Disney Did it Again

Love this.

Now where's my Paperman? ;)

Christmas Pictures

Guess I should document Christmas!

Here are some pics from the day

We talked with Elder Stoor!

 (Favorite Part of the Break)

Santa found us all:

Meg got a ring...it took Santa's elves a little longer
than expected to finish making....but she has it now.

I got a new set of Scriptures

 

Shelby got a guitar

Mom got new living room furniture....finally!

And Dad got a new surround sound system.

And what's Christmas without the hairy bird....every year Mom

thinks it is hilarious to hide this in the tree.

Don't ask me why, but I forget every year,

and each time the thing still icks me out haha.

Freezing Rain = "Eat it"

Basically the same story here at USU;

The guy with the girl in the red coat is my favorite.

She makes it to the end, and he's half way haha.

Sleighing on MLK Day

 It was a gorgeous day yesterday;

going to make it extremely difficult to leave

for the yucky air filled Logan today!

But we took advantage of the day off, and went sledding

with the Somsen girls!  We also had a fire and cooked some

hotdogs and marshmallows.  This pic of Soleil makes me giggle.

Oh how great it would be to go back to being four years old

 and have moments where there isn't a worry in the world.

 

She sure was happy to eat a smore.

"Oh I just LOVE smores! Don't you!?" she would say.

Zip was a kick too.  Here she is burying Logan in the snow:

Here's part of the gang loading up for a run.

Hook your sleigh on and let's go!

We'd drive up about a half a mile and unload.

Dad got the day off so he got to play with us too!

Bishop Houseman joined in the fun too.  Love his smile!

Payton and Logan brought their snowboards.  Here's Logan: 

One time, Soleil and I decided to try out the 'orange sled' instead

of a runner sled...not even kidding, this thing was even

faster than them!!!  I've never gone down a hill that fast!

Me, Zip and Sols

Soleil took a turn going down with Meg too.

I think Megan may have been a little deaf at the

end of this run ;) haha

Til came out to play too

Here's Payton, Shelby, Soleil and Megan

Payton took a turn on a runner

Go Somsen! Go!

She made it half way up the hill to Bodily's old house

on this run.

Here's Shelby

And can you say ADORABLE!? She's so stinkin cute.

Made the day really fun, that's for sure.

Here's Mom going down.  I love the tassels on her hat flying up! haha

The Crew

Thanks for a fun day guys!

If you've never been on a runner sleigh, here's a video

to kinda give you the idea.  I walked up the hill about 50 yds

and then came down from there.

YouTube version might be easier to view:

Jeff Foxworthy on Teachers

I love this, it's so true! haha
