Christmas and New Year's


All these pictures are out of order...but I'm going to mostly let them all speak for themselves. We had such a wonderful Christmas spending time with the Daltons and Astles, and having Gram and Papa visit too. We sure missed the Parmenter family. We ate lots of good food, watched football, played games, did so many puzzles, explored parks, went ice skating, and so much more!



Cousin time is really so special. 



Many hours of Jackbox games too. 


I guess we get New Year's pictures before Christmas in this post. Happy New Year! 



One of many puzzles. This one was hard!


Went to see the Falls downtown


New Years Eve Stake Dance. We had the coolest group of kids there. 



Flying Squirrel


Celebrated Lauren & Brian's anniversary by swimming the whole day at a random hotel pool. 



It was a party!






Big BYU bowl game. It was intense. They pulled it out in the end!



Now we are back to Christmas!


Cameron made a beautiful prime rib.



Matching


Breaking in the new foosball table 






And so many presents. Merry Christmas!



Advent puzzle




Gingerbread house making




Fancy hair


Heated sidewalk in CDA


And the lights that were mostly closed to walk through because of wind. 




More ice skating pic!






And Post Falls falls












Run to Big Rock






Took over the stake center gym to play pickleball and lightning and football. 




Visiting Gram and Papas hotel room

Loved having so much family time. We were so sad to see everyone go.
