Christmas

It was good to see everyone at Christmas but the Kynastons were very, very missed.  Thanks for the great presents from hats to cars to car mirrors and lots of other fun stuff.  Here's some pictures from the festivities.  Hopefully Heather will post a few dance party pics from Christmas day.

 I love the excitement in Hudsie's smile:

My favorite picture:

I saw someone at Costco that had D's cougar hat.  It was a 9 year old boy.  :)

We took a trip to Moab to enjoy some family time away from the house.  Arches was beautiful with the snow.

See if you can find all the kids in the picture below at Pine Tree Arch.  This may be my new favorite arch.

Drapers Do

Following up on Dad's fine post about our adventure yesterday, I thought I'd post a few photos from our household of late. Al estilo Dad.

Hungry sheep from this fall. Farmer Gary rocks.

Cool Lone Peak shot I found, circa 1987.

"Kids, we're going to see the lights. Please dress warm."

Wearing Christmas before Christmas.

Mase is boss.

Awesome hat.

Lovin' the snow.

Lovin' the snow more.

Me and my snow Angel(ee).

Sucking air.

Banner Day Snowshoeing!

Catching some rays up American Fork Canyon.

 Catching my breath, we were going uphill.

 Almost a "snow angel".

 There's a Mcdonalds just over that ridge.

 We're #1.

 The back of Mount Timpanogos.

Loading up to go home.

Temple Square

I always love Temple Square but it is even more amazing during the Christmas season.  The lights, the music, the Spirit - it's awesome. 

In the Visitor's Center they had a choir of Sister missionaries singing and during one part one of the Sisters had a whistling solo.  It was really good and reminded us of Clayton's whistling.  Either him or Walter the Muppet.  :)



Our visit started the holiday off right.  Even Rylie forgetting her coat couldn't hinder our night.  D just unzipped his liner and she wore that.  :)

A little of this...a little of that

Even though it doesn't look like it, I promise they LIKE me!! :)

We went to Rangely for Brynn's birthday! She is such a cutie!

 We went to the park in Rangely and it was the perfect place for the kiddos to get a little energy out!! :)

Cute Brynn and her cute mama

These two had matching coats and loved to hang out!

This is just a little sample of what happens after the kids play in the fire pit...don't worry, there was no fire :)

Hudsy loves the swings!

Kendyl prefers socks on her hands for gloves...they're easier to get on and off!!
