Christmas Weekend

For Christmas this year our family went down to Cedar city. It was great (especially after Glen got over the terrible sickness he got when we were first there. One more reason I am so grateful for the Priesthood and for three worthy Priesthood holders in our family.)

Glen had so much fun playing with his cousin Elijah. Elijah got a tent play house set for Christmas and the boys had so much fun playing in it. It was funny because when ever one of them would say house they would both get really excited and run downstairs together yelling house. I'm really happy they had so much fun together.

Bejamin slept half the day, what did I expect right? He didn't have to rip the paper off the gifts, he just used his drool to dissolve the paper. :) His favorite gift is the Baby Einstein exersaucer that he got from Grammy. I set it up yesterday and Benjamin has been discovering all the toys, sounds and lights. Glen enjoys it a lot as well, he likes to tell Benjamin what the animals and other things are as well as help him lay with it. He will take Benjamin's hand and push it onto a toy to make it work for him. He is so helpful.

The only thing John asked for was a picture colored by Glen. So Glen colored this picture and we got a frame for it. Now it hangs in the living room so daddy can see it all the time. John also got a the latest book in the Wheel of Time series, "Gathering Storm" written by Robert Jordan and Brandon Sanderson. Mom and I worked together to get some things so we can play baseball as a family easier, John got a bat, a net base set to cath the balls, and a bag to hold everything.

We also went sledding while we were down there. That was a lot of fun. There wasn't much snow, but there was enough. We found a little hill close by that both GLen and Elijah could go down by them selves. Hannah even went down by herself in her little sled. Benjamin stayed home with Grammy, but Glen came along and we all had so much fun. I really enjoyed watching Adam and John try to outdo each other on the hill. They tried going down on their bellies and standing up.

All in all we had a great time and really enjoyed ourselves.
