Good-bye 2011 Hello 2012!

The holidays were amazing :)  We headed to Hermiston Friday afternoon after Steven got off work nice and early.  Friday night when we got to my Moms we went and visited her at work so she could see the Grandkids and then headed to her house to wait on Grandma to get off work.  When she got home from work we decided to go to the Festival of Lights. What a cool thing! The fairgrounds were covered in lights and after freezing for 30min or so and then we went to Thompson hall and visited Santa :)

Gotta love Gramma's house!

Play time at Gramma and Grandpa's

Giant yard = Fun!

Grandma Marcelle came over Christmas Eve and hung out for the afternoon and evening.  The kids loved helping her make her Cranberry Jello salad.  They were all waiting anxiously to open their Christmas Eve gifts. This year we didn't do PJ's as the boys never wear PJ's anyway.  Games it was.  Kinleigh got PJ's and was ecstatic.
