January 2-3

This adorable boy is in our new Branch and just got baptized on January 2. His name is Alan. He has 4 brothers and now a baby sister and a mom who is amazing at raising them all herself. Her children amaze me at how well mannered and behaved they all are. It was a special day and since they don't have camera....I decided to take it upon myself to be their photographer. After coming home for the baptism, we had the kids all play outside and had I went crazy, as usual.

Lydia is indeed soaking wet because we has sticking her head in the dripping snow water coming off the parking roof. Silly girl. I think she looks like a wet puppy.

Joey loves to walk in snow. No matter where we are we has to have at least one foot stomping it down as he trucks along. He also loves to kick any piles around.....thanks Daddy.

January 3: Decided to let Lydia try some soda and of course she LOVED it and kept coming back for more. I love this big smile of hers.....just completly loving life.

Christmas Morning in Idaho

Once Josh, Lindz, Skye, and Cyrie finished their family Christmas and got to Grandma and Grandpa's house (which was a little later than they planned because Skye SLEPT IN for once!) and we had all eaten the famous Christmas waffles and REAL whipped topping....on to the presents we eagerly gathered. Everyone had their own pile and we just let the kids tear into them all at once....an unwrapping frenzy! Some parents even got to be "helpful" and unwrap more presents because the kids were so excited about what they had just opened to see what was next.

A GREAT Christmas!

Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Morning consited of playing outside so that Joey could learn the art of capturing softly falling snowflakes. Then onto being silly and playing with our already opened new Mega Blocks while momma was packing for IDAHO. Pick up Danny from work and head straight out onto the near 4 hour road. Always takes longer getting there than coming home....so unfair.

New favorite thing

Once in Idaho, we headed straight for the Institute where our Prigmore Family Christmas Party was being held....we had lots of fun eating, watching the kids all play together and doing The Nativity Story. Thanks to Lindz who put all the costumes together.
