We had to pick up the van in California. This was great because my sister lives in San Diego. It was so much fun. I was worried about the kids meshing because both of our husbands are in the military and our families have spent very little time together. No need to worry we all had a blast. As the trip went on I was seriously bitter that the military won't put us in the same place.
We went to the San Diego Zoo in December. It was awesome. We played a game of picture Scavenger hunt. It was so much fun. This is Emma and Courtnay with their picture of 'put your self in a cage'. The kids were so busy looking for photo opportunities and checking off there papers that they left us alone it was great.
Here is Amy in 'Bigger then Life' she was my partner.
After California we headed to Utah.
Here we are introduced to Max & Nian, Our new cousins and the Kong Kone.

Here is Caleb with his Kong Kone. This is ridiculous and pretty much impossible to finish.
On December 23rd my parents' celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. We have been planning this celebration for years, we all gathered at a cabin in Provo Canyon. It was one of the coolest things our family has ever done. The Whole family was there except for John who is on a mission.
Views from the Loft.
Grand kids on the stairs. They were all there except John.
This is what we call our 'Brady Bunch Picture'. Here we all are in order from oldest to youngest. It was truly a blessing to have us all together for this.
Here is a blanket that my sister in law Shelby made for my parents' 5oth. It was beautiful.
There was a lot of snow the kids had a blast. Seriously one of the best Christmas ever
Gift Exchange
We had Joydell's name this year. One of the gifts we gave her was this toad purse we got in the Philippines. They were so gross and so cool at the same time. Micheal is not impressed. It was totally worth it to see Joydell Laugh.
