We kicked off the season with in Manti where we spent the weekend before Christmas with all my siblings and their families, my Mom and Grandma. On Saturday the kids had a great time sledding. Uncle Andy pulled the kids behind the four wheeler.
And then Maddie pulled her Daddy on the sled. I couldn't believe how well she could pull him.
We also went bowling, which was a lot of fun. Max and Maddie both love bowling but Maddie through a many fits because her turn didn't come around soon enough. She wanted to bowl the entire time. I guess taking turns is not a fun concept for a 2 year old.
On Sunday we had a Christmas party and had our traditional Nativity play. Max played Joseph, Maddie was a beautiful angel and I was a reluctant wise man.
Christmas Eve we went to Bret's parents house for dinner and had a great time. Christmas was a wonderful day for us. We were so grateful to be in our own house this year. We spend the day opening presents and watching the kids play with their new toys. Bret was very excited about his new down sleeping bag that I (with a lot of help from my brother Ben) got him as a surprise.
The weekend after Christmas we went up to Bret's parents condo and had fun playing games and visiting with them. Max and Maddie had fun in the bubble bath.
The 29th we celebrated our anniversary. It has been 8 wonderful years. I am so grateful for Bret, he is the best husband and father in the world. I hope that you all had a great holiday season and I wish you a Happy New Year!
