December 20th

Date: Thursday, Dec 20th
Location: Blackfoot, Idaho Falls

Today was the MUCH anticipated day that

Aunt Lyndsay, Uncle Aaron, Kyriggan & Uncle Jordy

all arrived!

Now we were only missing Aunt Brookie who was coming tomorrow!

So again we played around the "farm" all day.

Playing in the massive tree

Feeding the Horsies

Anden preferred to break his carrot into baby carrots.
I quickly warned him he would get his hand munched off that way!

Then Anden found a treasure

Who knew a dang ugly tumbling tumbleweed could be entertaining?!

Finally we headed back inside to warm up.
It's absolutely frustrating to have it so cold outside
yet not have the beauty and fun of snow to play in!
Luckily the kids didn't know any difference!

Craft Time!
Yes I'm that kind of annoying prepared Momma
 that always has something up her sleeve
to keep the boredom & bickering at a minimum!

Taylee is always a nonstop moving blur.
In life and in pictures!

Finally it was time for the plane arrival!

So we loaded up and all caravaned to the airport.

Then the circus made it's way through Idaho Falls

to the annual dinner destination.

And the kids immediately took over the huge playground

and went crazy nuts!

We were finally able to force the hyper children back into cars
and off to Blackfoot we headed.
We had a week of play to catch up on with Baby K!

Yes and Papa Nolie upgraded to TWO lawn decorations Christmas Trees this year!
He really must have been feeling the spirit of Christmas
with that total splurge!
