Merry Christmas From Ogden!

We got to go to Grandma and Grandpa Phister's house for Christmas! It was wonderful. Maybe one day we will be at our own home on Christmas morning, but until then we love being with family. Grandma has a park down the street that has an awesome hill, so me and the munchkins took advantage of it!

And the best part of this Christmas, Mike was there with us! Woot woot! We love having Daddy with us during the holidays. Anna, Cory, Kimi, and Tanner all stayed over Christmas Eve as well. We stayed up playing games with them. I love my baby sisters. 

Christmas morning was wonderful and magical:)

She is her Daddy's girl.

Baby Hazel was close to enjoying Christmas Day with us.

Ranger had a good time too.

She also loves her Grandpa Phister!

Love those beautiful curls.

They've been talking about Switch and Go Dinos forever. Two very happy kids right here!

Tenille could seriously pass as my children's mother:)

Oh I love these three darling children!!

Human ABC's and SNOW!!!

One fine day while living at Grandma's, me and the kids got a strange idea to make the alphabet with their bodies. We only made it to L, but we had some fun together. Theses kids are pretty cute.

And Lincoln made an awesome ABC mask.

The kids got to be in the ward Christmas program. They were darling:)

She wasn't so sure about this big stranger Mommy made her sit on, but she did better than I thought.

The craziest snow in St George in years!! This snow ended up staying on the ground for two weeks. Mike said the whole time growing up in St George he has never seen snow stay any longer than two days. Since we had just come from Wyoming the winter before, we were ecstatic! We love snow! Sequoia does the most. She is hilarious. Mike went out with the little munchkins (after we went to see Frozen at the theaters!) and made an awesome snow fort. The kids were in heaven. It was a great day:)

Auri playing inside with Mommy staying warm.

We ended our awesome day with Family Home Evening together. We are loving living so close to family:)

A couple nights later we had the wonderful opportunity of seeing Colby and Juli in Cedar! And finally got to meet sweet little Sterling. Colby's grandpa passed away. I was sad that was the reason we got to see them, but I'll take what I can get!

And the best part of all! We invited them to come to church with us the next day. It was our stake conference and Elder Holland was coming to speak to us. So they met us in St George and we all went together. What a wonderful opportunity to be there and to hear his words. Powerful. I'm grateful to Susan for staying home with Auri so we could hear all his words. I'm so grateful for our prophet and his apostles:)
