"Winter" from the Winters













Pretty clever title?? O.K., since I am a dork on the blogging, I am going to post and put some pics and it will probably be in no order since my blogging teacher is so busy being pregnant and dealing with 4 boys and partying it up during the holidays!!(JK,I'm sure she'd come over at midnight and help me, that's when she's up, but I am sleeping)!!
Our family was so blessed this month with Riley being able to come home on leave for a month. The whole fam along with friends met him at Sky Harbor to give him the welcome home he deserved. We are so proud of him and his service to his country! Thanks Riley!! Rhegan, Bart, and I painted a sign. Christian, Chase, and Cooper decorated the front yard with flags and ribbons!!!
We took Riley to his favorite eating establishment "Fajitas"!!
Had our traditional Christmas Eve program!! Riley was the donkey, get a load of the ears! Rhegan and her cousin, Tatum were innkeepers, I'm sure Joseph would be impressed!!
On Christmas Day we were blessed to be able to talk to Rees in Mexico City!! What an awesome missionary he is!! It was Rees' 6 month mark so Elder Heward and Rees burned their ties!!!
We had a fun time at Katie and Owen Wilson's house on New Year's Eve!! I'm sure Owen has purchased new jet skis since the party, not sure if he will loan them out or not??? Enough said!!!
We went to the snow and spent the day sledding!! Had a blast!!!
And last, but not least, the Eagles won their first playoff game!! Congratualtions Uncle Andy!!! Go Eagles!!!

Another great Christmas season. You had some great things happen with hearing from Rees and having Riley home. I still can't believe how fast you take things (Christmas decor) down though, no grass growing under your feet! :)

Bree, maybe she was trying to be polite and not post it, since not EVERYONE was invited.

Looks like a fun "winter" break!

Oh, and word is, Katie sold the jet skis and now Owen is planning a trip to Vegas. Hmmmmmm, weird.

What is wrong with a little trip to Vegas with the whole family in the van? I thought he was sweet when he suggested it...
