This year for our Christmas baking all of us kids picked our favorite Christmas goodies. Here are some pictures of us making them.

Kharis melting the chocolate for her chocolate covered pretzels.

Brecken and maclae making peppermint bark.

Gram, Levi, and I making santa cookies.

Creighton sculpting her Christmas trees

Reaghan and Mom's reindeer.

 

Uriah making and decorating his snowmen.

 

 That's all for now. Merry Christmas!

Ice Skating

Every year in Castle Rock a temporary ice skating rink is put in downtown. Since we have never been ice skating before we decided to give it a try for my birthday. If I said we had fun that would be an understatement. We had a BLAST! Here are some pictures:

 

 

 

 

 

That's all for now. Have a great day!

Vacation 2012

Well, once again I find myself posting something that is way overdue :)
Anyway, this November we took a family road trip to Phoenix, Arizona for Thanksgiving with family.  We all had such a blast seeing (and meeting) our family we haven't seen in quite awhile.
Following is a list of some highlights of our trip;
1.) Mountain passes on the way to Arizona. BEAUTIFUL!

2.) Stopping to see the Grand Canyon. WOW! There is not much I can say to describe this magnificent sight.

 

 

3.) Going to our favorite Burger joint, riding in grandpa's Corvette, and swimming.

 

 

4.) Family pictures.

Overall we had a great vacation.

Before I go just a couple more pictures.
A couple weeks ago we had a visit from some friends from Nebraska, we all had a blast!

That's all for now. Have a great day!
