We are back home after about 2 1/2 weeks of fun. We had such a good time visiting our family over the break. It was so nice to have Kyle around for a while! We got to go out on a date (thanks Chelsie!), go to the temple, and I got to have my hair done. It was so nice having my mom's extra help! Kasen got some boy time with his cousins. Carter, Griffin, and Kasen are all within 1 1/2 of each other and they had a blast hanging out!
Feeding Grandpa's pigs. We used visits to the pigs as bribery while we were in Billings because Kasen loved the pigs.
We read a Christmas story after hot chocolate and cookies at Grandma's.
Macee and Adria in the "Hootie van." Two days before Christmas we loaded up in the auctions 15 passenger van and headed out to look at Christmas lights. Which I must say were not very impressive this year. We used the newspaper and it really let us down. It seemed that if you had a blow up Santa and lights on your bush then congrats you were in the newspaper for best lights. We were all yelling at our navigator Ben and driver Nels for getting us lost.
Lauraleah, me, Andrea, and mom
Spencer (my entertainment for Kasen), and Kasen
The Hootie van, Taylor, and Annie
Kasen also enjoyed the cookies we left out for Santa.
On Christmas Eve Santa paid a visit to Grandma's house. He brought each kid and even knew a few fun facts about each of them. As you can see Addie was not a big fan of Santa.
Kasen was afraid but was a trooper and sat on his lap only long enough to get his present. Then he was running back to my lap.
On Christmas morning Kasen was so excited. He was so much fun this year. He was a maniac opening his presents as fast as he possibly could. He even opened all of Addie's presents for her. What a nice brother.
Kasen's favorite present was his Mac semi. I guess I have a pretty easy kid to please.
We also had the oppertunity to bless our little Addie Lue. Addie and Andrea's brand new baby, Dylan, were blessed together.We were bummed out that Kyle's parents were not able to come because of the bad weather! We wish they could have been there, we missed seeing them this Christmas.
Addie looks ginourmous next to tiny Dylan! Andrea looks amazing and doesn't even seem to be phased by baby number four! She is incredible!
Beautifull Addie Lue! She pooped her pants right before the blessing and then cried the entire time. She is out little sassy pants. It was such a neat day to spend with our family! Kyle did such a amazing job and I am so blessed to have such a great husband!

I'm glad you had a good Christmas! Too bad Kyles parents couldn't make it to the blessing...weather was horrible everywhere! I was sure we weren't going to make it to Idaho Falls. Our plane was delayed and that's it, thank goodness. You have the cutest family by the way! Happy New Year!
I am glad you had a good Christmas with family. I am sure it was fun since you are so far away. We got Thomas that MAC transporter for his birthday and he still loves it. Cars are the best huh? I love the Kasen was so into opening presents. So funny. Addie looks so beautiful in her blessing dress. What a cute girl!
It looks like you guys had a great Christmas break. Addie is so cute, how fun to be able to bless her with your family. She looks beautiful in her dress.
Kasen and Addie are adorable! I'm glad you had a good Christmas! I just wish we could have gotten our holidays coordinated so that we were there at the same time! Man! Whatcha gonna do though, right?
Hi Amanda, looks like a wonderful Christmas! I'm so happy that you were able to spend the holidays with your fam! Loves, Dana
Cute pictures Amanda, it looks like so much fun, Christmas time is the best! My girls are ready to play any day, they've been used to having lots of cousins around & I think they're missing that.
It was great to see you guys but I wish we could have seen more of each other. It gets busy being home, doesn't it?
