On December 17the we made the drive to Heber. AZ and met the
entire Judy Family at a cabin! The kids loved see all their cousins, aunts and uncles, and ofcourse grandparents! It was fun to get to all be together and just spend time with eachother. We had a wonderful trip!
Brinley was pretty excited to get out of the car after 7 straight hours!
This lovely Mountian Lion was in the basement closet. I think Casen took one of us by the hand and asked "Go see lion?" at least 100 times!
Mom and Dad brought 4 boxes of oranges to share with everyone - YUM! Let me just say home-grown oranges are AMAZING and I miss them so much! It is such a treat when we get some of these oranges, and my kids love them!
Dad's famous whole wheat pancakes! One of many delicious meals.
Dad's plate... waffles topped with vanilla icecream and strawberry sauce.
The first morning we all loaded up in our cars and drove about 30 minutes away to a winter wonderland.
Brinley loves playing in the snow!
We built a huge snowman and it was fun to all work together.
Dad was taking pictures most the time and so when we put the camera down he announced that he wanted to get snow balls thrown at him too.... big mistake... he was attacked for about 5 minutes!
Despite looking totally adorable in the snow, Casen is just not a fan of the cold!
Brinley Boo and the giant snow man
They had a cool zipline set up at the cabin, and Brinley loved going down it.
Casen went on four or five 4-wheeler rides with Grandpa... since we came home Casen has told me half a dozen times "I want Grandpa buy me 4-wheeler." :)
We had a small gift exchange among the grandkids. Brinley and Andelin were pretty happy with their gifts!
Casen joined my Mom during her reading time. He had a lot of fun with her and keeps saying he wants her to come to our house. Not long til she will be here to help with the baby!
Casen and Laurie digging into Aunt Jenn's cinnamon rolls.
This is Casen's "don't touch my cinnamon roll" face.
All 9 kids. Back row: Brett, Brian, Mom, Dad, Mark, Andrei. Front row: Madeline, Becca, Jenn, Jess, Brooklyn. There are more pictures of the WHOLE family, but they aren't on my computer! I will post them when I get them from my Dad!
Case and Ryan playing ping pong
We all made gingerbread houses out of graham crackers, it was so much fun!
Casen's candy plate, it was
supposed to all be used for the house.
Casen and Ryan working hard.
Brinley had SO much fun decorating all by herself!
Casen and Grandpa
Jenn made this beautiful Nativity! It was my favorite!
Casen loving the zip-line!
Monday night we read about Christ's birth out of Luke and the kids put on the Nativity seen. Casen got to be Joseph, and he loved getting to hold baby Jesus. Him and Andelin looked so cute together!
Brinley and Anne were the Angels.
Ryan sliding up the zipline the wrong direction. Brinley had a lot of fun cheering him on.
Blake, Brinley, and Dallin on the tire swing.
The last night we all watched "How to Train your Dragon." Casen loved getting to lay down with Uncle Andrei
