Happy 2012. I'd love to say one of my new years resolutions is to blog more, but I'll be honest and say no. It's been a super crazy month. We headed off to Boise a week before Christmas and had lots of fun there. This was the extent of the snow we saw while we were in Boise and Utah. THe day we left Boise for Utah it lightly snowed (not even enough to stick on the grass) but we let the kids play in it while we packed the cars. 
We took the kids out to see lights in the neighborhood.....it was a little chilly!
Grandpa, and the dads took the kids on a tour of the recycling center. Carson got to sit in the garbage truck, and pretty much had the time of his life (or so I heard).
Carson and Brynnli had some quality storytime with Grandma before bedtime.
GRandma wanted to make sugar cookies with the kids, which proved to be a little more exciting than I think she guessed, but she did a great job. The kids had a great time. Macy (my sister's little two year old) was cracking us all up because she was definately eating more of the cookie dough than making cookies with it. LOve that girl. 
Cole hungout around the table trying to snag any peices of dough that ended up on the floor or close to the edge....he was really excited.
We acted out the nativity story. Starring: Brynnli as Mary, Carson as Joseph, Cole as a shepherd
Macy as a donkey
And Kate as an angel
Cole was so excited about opening presents that after he opened his present he went into the room with the Christmas tree and started bringing out more to open, it was so cute to see that he was excited.

The best part of the day I can't find my pictures for. We got to skype with my little brother on his mission in Hungary. It was so fun for the kids to see him and for him to see them. We felt very blessed to be able to see him and talked to him for so long.
Having hot chocolate
THe day after Christmas my Grandma and Grandpa Brown flew in from Seattle for the wedding, but wanted to spend some time with the great grandkids first. THe kids had a blast getting to know them.

We put out our AMAZING sugar cookies that the kids made for Santa, with some carrots for the reindeer.
The kids checked out what Santa left them (I"m really good lately at making awkward faces in the background of pictures....)
