Christmas pictures

Of course there were also many fantastic moments over the holidays.  Number one for my kids had to be hanging out with cousins.  I loved seeing Cash like this on a different cousin every time I turned around.  And then hearing in his sweetest little voice, "Can I have a turn??  Can I play with your iphone?"  Luckily he got a Leapster for Christmas so he could join in the male cousin sit-next-to-each-other-and-play-our-various-electronic-devices bonding.

He even attempted his first sleepover with the cousins (didn't last of course):









The boys loved visiting temple square. (And of course I love all the bodies to help keep track of them. :)



















 










All great until it started snowing and my Miami-bred child was beside himself.




















Everyone was in love with nickelcade.









And it's really fun climbing up the skee-ball game to put your balls in. Until your twin throws one overhand and gives you a goose egg in the head. 











The best Christmas Eve surprise was answering a knock at the door to find dad finally making it there just in time for Santa.



Although not everyone could quite happy up for Santa.  :)


 


Super happy with the remote control Thomas trains Santa brought.



 
Mom and I worked up a new duet for the program this year.


Cash sang "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer" with the actions he learned from school, and Phoenix played and sang a lovely rendition of "Jingle Bells".


So much fun with the family!!


Guess I'll have to post more pictures later to finish the trip since I haven't even made it to Christmas day yet.

That's quite a bunch, and makes for a lively New Year's Eve, as well, even with four missing! And we DID miss them this year!
