Holiday Fun!

Well...I guess that this post is better late than never! The past 2 weeks have been pretty busy, but soooo much fun. Of course there was the Arizona trip...then there was Christmas...then partying on New Year's Eve! It has been so nice to have some time off and be able to spend it with family. We had so much fun in Arizona, even with the mess we ran into trying to come home. There's nothing like trying to get the van "unstuck" and getting stuck ourselves. Then there were the crazy storms. As much as I love biting my nails down to the point that they hurt because I'm so nervous, I was sure glad when we stopped to stay the night in a hotel rather than driving on such horrible roads. But...enough about the negative. Let's move on to the positive!














When I heard that we were going to a cabin in AZ, I was expecting nice weather and a rustic cabin. Instead, I was greeted with 3-4 feet of snow and a beautiful, modern cabin that was AMAZING! I couldn't believe how pretty it was there! It was like a little winter wonderland.














Sorry...I know I say it all the time, but isn't my husband freaking HOT?
It was such a beautiful day that we decided to go on a walk around the loop. It was so much fun to have all of us there. Can you believe how much snow there is? Come on...this is Arizona!!!
Speaking of snow.....here's Tay and Gary up on the roof trying to push 3000 lbs of snow off of the roof. We pretty much tried everything to get it down, but to no avail! We were all up on the roof trying to get the snow down and Travis was on the ground with Nicole and Angela building a snowman. Well...Trav decided that he wanted to show off his mad skills and started throwing snowballs from the ground at us up on the roof. About 90% of them hit us, which started a huge snowball fight. I was pretty surprised that a little midget like Trav could throw that far. Pretty impressive! Just kidding. I'm not going to mess with Travis because he scared me when I watched him boxing on the Wii. He's hard core!
Here's all the Idahoans. It was so much fun to spend time with Travis and Nicole. They are our BFF"s.














I was so happy that Grandpa was able to come up with Aunt Marilyn and Uncle Ron. It was so nice of them to let us use their brand new cabin!














I had to get a picture with Boo. She looked so cute in her little boots! Speaking of boots...I borrowed those cute boots from Angela. Pretty ironic that the girl from Idaho had to borrow snow boots from the Arizonan!












Here's Kaydence's best attempt at a grumpy look. Pretty good, but she's so cute that NOTHING makes her look anything less that adorable.
So, I don't have any pictures from Christmas, but I'll refer you to Nicole's blog to see pictures. She's much better at documenting occasions than I am. It was so much fun. Then for New Years, we went to Blackfoot and partied it up with Kathleen, Johnny, Chad, Travis, Nicole, and us. We ate a TON of crap and played the Wii. Let me just say that Johnny is the new undefeated boxing champ! He rocked it! I'm still gloating about the fact that I got the KO when I boxed Tay for the first time, so it didn't even phase me when Johnny knocked me out twice in like 5 minutes. We need to get a new challenger in to beat him! Well....that's what's new with us. Hope that everyone had a great holiday season.
