Family Pictures

While we were with Mike's family (see previous post) we had some family pictures taken. Here are some of them:

Mike's parents and siblings:

House of Fun

The first weekend in December we spent the weekend with Mike's family. His parents rented a house (Three Peaks Lodge) to enjoy. It was perfect for the kids. Everyone had a great time. One wall in the living room had been converted to a small climbing wall and there were two slides and lots of fun toys.

Here's Blake trying out the slide:

Thanksgiving and Trees

We spent Thanksgiving with my family in Island Park. We had a wonderful time. We rode four-wheelers and played in the snow and even cut down our Christmas Tree.

The tree:

The tree turned out to be a lot larger than it appeared in the forest. It takes up a good portion of our living room. A lot of people's first reaction to it has been, "Wow, that is a big tree." And, yep, it is! I dare say next year we will try for a smaller one.
