Our motivation

So, why was the whole trip worth it? Here are the smiling faces we were headed for.

Playing dress up with AbbieWe took a trip to the zoo with the cousins, Aunt Mandy, and Grammy and PopsWatching the Polar Bears swimWe took a trip to Winterhaven to see the Christmas lights. Silas and Brandon ran through the entire neighborhood. We picked our favorites, watched the music and water show at least 5 times, held hands and even saw Santa.

A little affection :) I LOVE this picture!Enjoying Christmas Eve (eve) dinner with the family, even Boomer (we missed you Uncle Chris, Aunt Christine and Ellsie!)Abbie and Jewel had lots of special timeAnd the girls did their best to steer clear of the wild and crazy boysPrecious giftsChristmas Eve morning, with gifts galore!These three boys had so much fun together in the four days we spent with the Bury Family. This is a serious shot, not planned or propped. Busy reading.

Saying cheers to chocolate milk!
