The days were filled!

We had the most wonderful vacation!!! And I'm here to tell you about it.....
On our way home we stopped in Boise to see my friend Nicole and her family. She is expecting in March so it was fun to see every ones reaction to having a little one in the house!!This is what we woke up to Christmas morning! Presents for the kids and a cozy warm fire for the adults! T'was splendid!!!!!!Weston and Korbin helped Shane open Kaila's presents!Malia and I soaking up the warmth and crackle of the fire!!! I could have sat there all day!!!opening all those presents must have warn them out!!:)After spending 2 days at home we loaded up and headed east for Jackson Hole, WY. We rented a beautiful home and settled in for the week!!First on the agenda was a surprise massage for all 4 of us girls from our wonderful husbands!! We had no idea they had booked these for us... and they were amazing!! There is no record of this event because we were too relaxed to even push a button on the camera let alone hold it up!!! Ha Ha!!
We also enjoyed listening to a band march through the house!Dad, Kenyon, Ryan, Malia, and Julie bundled up and did a little bit of this....SNOWMOBILING!!!
They had soooo much fun!!And while they were gone then the kids wanted to go ride their snowmobiles that Grandpa and Grandma had gotten them for Christmas! So Shane found a spare lung that helped him through the tugging and pulling!!!!!!!Catching his breath... perfect moment for a picture!When we all got back to the house this is how I found Shane. Worn out and exhausted!! But not for long... we went inside warmed up and then he took them out again!Story time. We saw some wild life while we cruised around Jackson.I love how the elk and the mountain sheep are mingling together. Its kind of hard to tell but, the elk are on the left and the sheep in the front and center.My camera doesn't take very good night pictures but...here is a picture of Mom, me, Malia, and Julie
And....
My sweet family!
(Kalia is all wrapped up in the blanket!!)
