Some After Christmas Fun

The week after Christmas was spent playing games (board, Wii & XBox), shopping, the boys hunting at my dad's farm, and pretty much just hanging out.


Christmas night it started snowing, yes we even got a late white Christmas in Charlotte. Anyhow the next morning we woke up to an absolutely gorgeous sight.
Because of the snow church was postponed until 3:00pm and we just had Sacrament Meeting. With the extra time some of the family decided to go outside and play in the snow.

Then later in the day we all got ready for church. Here are all the grandkids in their Christmas clothes (yes Will is the first grandson).
On Monday, my mom wanted to take all the grandkids to Build-a-Bear Workshop and let them each pick out and make a new furry friend. Will got this adorable dog, which we dressed up in a Yankee's uniform (his daddy loves the Yankees). We named the dog Jeter, after Derek Jeter of the Yankees. All the grandkids had a blast and loved their new friends.

On the Thursday after Christmas, the girls joined the boys out at the farm for a little birthday party for Macey, Blaine and my dad since they are the January birthdays.

Macey & Blaine with their interesting looking cake (long story). My dad was MIA because nobody knew where he was at this point in time.
Overall we had a blast with my family. We are back home now, but only temporarily since we will be driving back across the country on January 23 so that Blaine can start Law School on the 26th. So goodbye for now Charlotte, but we will be back soon.

Good luck with the drive, especially at this time of year, and also with law school!
