Christmas Vacation!

Just an update on our Christmas Vacation and New Years!  We went to Utah for Christmas this year.  My family had the Ranch so we all decided it would be fun to all go down there.  It was great!  We had tons of snow to play in, tons of good food to eat, and tons of fun being with family!

This was before the trip - but it was the only picture I had of them with Santa, and of course it was right after wrestling practice so they are a little sweaty - as you can tell.  Titus was not sure he wanted to be there but he was trying hard so that he could get his candy cane!

Sheshy and I didn't even discuss it before hand but had bought the boys the same times for Christmas!  We must be sisters! :)  They looked pretty handsome!

Titus warming up to Pa . . . a little! ;)

Christmas Eve picture!

Gotta have a silly one . . . as you can tell Mike IS his own silliness! 

Group picture Christmas Eve - minus the Cluff family - they went home during the day and minus Jamie and Justin because they thought having a baby was more important! :) . . . . more on that later!

The "Grinch" couple!

Looks like we are having fun!!

Waiting on the stairs Christmas morning!

So Christmas Eve day (actually morning) Jamie's water broke!  She wasn't due for a couple more weeks but Chaz was ready to come.  So Jamie and Justin packed up - which they had just gotten their the night before- and Chaz Rigby was born later that afternoon.  On Christmas Day some of us went to the hospital to see him and Jamie!

Doin' what we do best - hanging out! :)  

Part Two of our Christmas vacation was seeing the Gambles.  We went out with Uncle Ben and Aunt Nedra for dinner and to see the Temple Square lights - it has been a long time since I've done that and they were awesome.  However, Mike and I just couldn't believe how many people there were . . .I don't know if it is because we've grown to used to living where there are no people, but it was crowded! 

We then headed up to Idaho to see Grandma and Grandpa Gamble and Miki!  They had a lot of snow so we spent some fun time sledding down their hill.  The boys totally got spoiled - it was having like two Christmases!  We had a good time hanging out and playing all the fun games that boys got.

Part Three of the vacation was New Years.  On the way home we stopped in Gothenburg, Nebraska, to visit Shane and Kelly - and even if they didn't want to they were forced to celebrate New Years with us because we stayed a couple nights! :)  :) 

We had a good time - the boys got to swim and Mike got to spend the day on the road with Shane!

This is in the hotel room where we rung in the New Year!  We had a party right there - we watched one of the Stars Wars episodes all night and had tons of fun party food.  Yeah . . .we were livin' it up!  

Thanks Shane and Kelly for a great way to start of the New Year!!
