The Ghost of Christmases Past

I thought it would be fun to put up a few favorite pictures from past Christmases. Wish I could have put them all up! Merry Christmas to you all!!!!!!

Christmas Tree Hunting

Like Christmases past, we went out in search of a Christmas tree in the mountains. A tradition we all love. This year however we tried something new. We took horses! We hauled up Ezra and Denny. Emmaline rode with me and the boys rode with Samuel on Ezra. We all had so much fun as we went on snowy roads,hill sides and through creeks. The snow was falling all around. It was BEAUTIFUL! We rode till we found a tree we liked that would fit in our limited space. The kids all got to take a turn sawing. They thought that was pretty cool and then we had then haul it to the truck(it was not that far) When it was all done we put the horses away and let the kids play and build a snowman. Bennett just stayed in one place and ate snow. He thought that was the best! Brigham did not want to leave, and wanted the snowman to come with us.It was a great experience and we didn't even get stuck! I love Christmas!!!!!I love my Family!!!!!

My Three Amigos

The other night for fun we decided to watch a movie together. Samuel choose, The Three Amigos. Emmaline sat and watched with interest while Brigham and Bennett's interest in the movies went in and out. It was great fun and a good night. Two days ago, the kids were all playing outside on their stick horses. Out of no where Emmaline, pulled her horse to a stop, got her brothers attention and then said really loud, " We are the three amigos" the boys followed suit and for the rest of the night continued to shout out " We are the three amigos" and played this for hours. Now, every once in awhile they say it and run off to get the horses and play.
I am so grateful for them and hope they will always be the best of friends!
