Post Christmas

The kids enjoyed sledding on the nearby hill.



We were able to attend an extended family Christmas dinner in Idaho on our way to Montana.  It was fun to see my dad's brothers and their kids and grandkids.  The kids especially loved that my aunt Tarri brought over the parachute from the school.











We spent a few days in Montana.  It wouldn't be a visit to Grandma and Grandpa's without a cousin show being put on.This one included gymnastics and Daniel's lights.















Enjoying some VERY cold rides on the 4-wheeler, RZR and sled.
