white chRistmAs

a late happy birthday glenn. sorry these are so late, but i had to post them...

notice that there are no candles?

haha. poor senile old einstein. just kidding. he's a good sport and posed for the camera. i do believe that he went so far as to actually blow out air and pretend...

then...this past weekend, since christy and bex and their families couldn't come down for christmas, dave...being the best husband in the world that he is...took me and jordy and mom to visit utah for the weekend. it was a quick trip, but fun to see everyone! we had a little white elephant gift exchange party and watched christmas movies and had caramel corn and read books and had fun together. the kids even got to go sledding a bit. (dave and i politely declined and opted for a movie inside instead) it snowed a ton and driving in it was...entertaining... :) thank heavens for glenn's 4-wheel drive truck or else we never would have made it. we sure are glad to be back home in the warm rain. whoever said you needed snow to have christmas was crazy!

here are some pictures:

at one point in our gathering, we found that simeon had climbed in the dryer...so of course lia had to follow...

chex made us caramel corn... yummy! good job guys. it was gone WAY too fast. and jordy found a kernal in her teeth the next day. she was freaking out for about an hour of our drive saying "i have a cavity! my tooth hurts." then, she found a toothpick and had to show everyone the kernal.


and this isn't from our trip, but i just love this picture of dad-richard and jordy...

here's everyone (minus dad) at the sugus after our party. nata's giving jordann bunny ears and i'm assuming chip is using the monkey to hold a space for his coming baby. :)

my good sport husband posing for yet another picture. :)

happy christmas eve everyone!
