New Year's Eve!

 We celebrated the New Year in Moclips.  As you can see from Darby's yawn we barely made it to midnight. 

Winter in Moclips

 The kids had a particularly long break, especially after Christmas so I knew we needed to plan something.   We decided to head to Moclips for 5 days and Grammy came with us. 

How was the weather?  Some might think it was terrible....it rained every single day...sometimes for most of the day.  But we know how to vacation at Moclips.  We still got outside, explored the beach and had some warm cozy time inside.   It was a great time away with out family.

Christmas Day

We went down to Papa Bob & Grandma Shari's for Christmas day. It was a little different since it was just us and them and their puppies. Despite the smaller numbers it was still a very enjoyable time.  We ate food, played a game and played with the puppies. 

 

Christmas Eve

 We went to the Christmas Eve service so I'm glad we were able to get a picture before the rest of our Christmas Eve festivities. 

Guitar Testing

Brody got a new guitar for Christmas but Brad took him to Guitar Center to test out the one he wanted. It took him awhile to make a decision but he finally settled on one that he loved.

 

Christmas Morning

A few pictures from our Christmas morning.  We love our family and love our christmas mornings.   So thankful!

 

First Ski Day

They have had some snow up at the mountains but barely enough to open. We were going to try and go up on a saturday but it was raining up there. So, we tried again for Monday of break. Colt wanted to bring a friend and Darby wanted to bring one too. Bo was the only other one who wanted to go. We left relatively early and got up to the mountain around 9:20. I'm so glad we did because parking was easier, the lines were shorter and the sun was peeking out of the clouds. We all had a great time even though the snow wasn't the best. It was just nice to be up at the mountain. They also had an elf scavenger hunt so we took this picture by the elf that Bo and I found.
