I know you get tired of me saying this--but my computer is not treating me right. It knows how little time I have for blogging these days but yet it will spend 30 minutes trying to load 4 pictures. I'm crying Uncle after several days of loading these few pictures and going with my standby, "you get, what you get, and you don't throw a fit!" Maybe after I get this post published my computer will drop it's grudge and let me load pictures---maybe. Holly and Brian's family came on December 24th and it was fun to have 3 of the 5 families at Mom and Dad's on Christmas Eve. It's been a lot of years since anyone did that. We had the kids do a very quick nativity with the usual hurt feelings over parts---every girl always wants to be Mary, and since we had a real live little baby this was especially true. On the 26th Brenda and Heather's families rolled into Royal and all 19 cousins were together again. I noticed it's getting easier though--the kids are growing up and the amount of screaming isn't mainly made up of babies crying but mostly of boys getting rowdy! We spent 2 nights up at Ensign Ranch and for the first time there was no snow. The last night we were there it started snowing after dark, of course. The kids didn't care they went out in the storm that night to make sure everything they owned got soaking wet. The especially loved standing near the roof overhang waiting for huge "slides" of snow to fall on them--go figure.
Just the boys--this picture was the best of many, here I'll show you...
Intense team trying to win--they didn't. David and Brittany brought their twin baby girls and Melanie brought her new baby boy and we supplied Anistynn---there was still fighting over babies. Apparently there just can't be enough babies to go around this family.
Sydney, and sparkly Sierra and a fashionably animal print clad Anistynn.
Zoe, Daddy, Jax and a brief glimpse of Sammi above. The Cougar Man below--Christmas day 2011. I swear Sierra and I were there too.
