Christmas outfits with the cousins

Well, it has definatly been way too long since I have posted anything, so I thought I should at least do this Christmas pic until I can sift through the 500 pics my dad took during the Christmas break! We had a fabulous time in MT and were able to spend 3 weeks there, I know, that's a long time, it's one of the few perks of still being in school! We got to go to Fairfield where Chase is from and spend some time watching Tate play a few b ball games. He is quite the little player, as all of his brothers were:) The kids were yelling his name and I'm pretty sure they were probably a distraction. Halle kept yelling "Go Tape, Go Tape!" which was pretty funny. Since we have been home she has been wondering where uncle tape is? Janis showed me how to knit little hats with the "knifty knitter" looms, I have made several now for people who have had babies recently and they have been a hit, thanks Janis! The kids got to get gumballs from grandma pearsons gumball machine using pennies, I think we at least spent a dollar on gum:) We went to the community choir christmas concert at the highschool which was really good, Chase has several cousins with amazing voices. Best of all was just spending time with them visiting and catching up, we are so sad that we will miss McKay coming home:(
In Billings the kids strung fruit loops on yarn and made little cinnamon ornaments to hang on the tree. We celebrated Halle's 2nd birthday on Christmas Eve this year, she had a wonderful day and it was fun to be with family (I will do a special post just for her later) We did our famous re enactment of the nativity with costumes, we never fail to get excited about this:) We just did so many things it's hard to post it all, but I promise more pictures are to come, so get excited!

Your back! I'm excited to see some more pictures, and glad you guys had a good time. It was good to see you all! Oh, and I really think Tata has a way with little kids. He was over at our house quite a bit with Dallin and since we've been home Rylee has asked about Tate at least 5 times! He knows how to work it!

Hey! I keep checking everyday to see if you have updated. It was so fun to see you and hang out a little bit. We sure have missed you! Also, maybe you already know, but Lisa Jones (Hansen) has moved to Columbus, I am not sure if that is close. Anyways, I don't know if you have heard but Nels is going in for back surgery next week. He herniated his L5 really good this time and they are worried about the muscle weakness in his calf. Seriously, maybe we all need to start eating more apples so we can stay away from the doctor!

Cute Cute pictures. Oh how I wish we were there to give Halle a big birthday squeeze and to play with darling Tyler. I am glad you had such a good break! I feel like we haven't chatted in FOREVER- we'll have to fix that. I can't believe how much the kids have changed. They are so cute! PS I would also like the clarify with Chase that I do not deem you bad bloggers; that was all Chad. I am just glad you have a blog! Hope all is well. Keep the posts coming!

i'm already excited thinking about the pictures you're going to post. I love seeing pictures of your cute family and the bennion clan! It sounds like you guys had a fun christmas. I have to admit, this year was a terribly rude awakening when matt had to return to work on the 27th of December. 3 days of vacation felt like nothing after having so many years of 3 weeks! but those three days were super-fun :). how's cleveland?? I hear you guys are getting some nasty weather coming up! (but isn't all the weather there nasty this time of year??)

I'm glad you all had such fun Christmas. I miss the days of our annual Bennion Christmas party on my dad's b-day :( How fun that you got to spend 3 weeks there! That's such a cute pic of the kids in their outfits.
