Happy to be a Mom!

I love this thought from President David O. McKay

"She, who can paint a masterpiece or write a book that will influence millions -- deserves the admiration and the plaudits of man. But she who rears a family of beautiful sons and daughters, whose influence will be felt through generations to come, long after paintings have faded, and books have been destroyed she deserves the highest honor that man can give, and the choicest blessings of God. In her high duty and service to humanity, she is co-partner with the Creator himself."

Rest of Christmas

The best part about Christmas is seeing family. My Sister Darlene and her husband just grandated from BYU Hawaii and were home. We hadn't seen thm in a year and were so excited to have them closer!!! Spencer loved his aunt Darlene
And his Special Uncle Peter!
Playing with Grandma! So fun to play with so many people who love you.
For Fun we went up Sun Valley for the day. We walked around and made fun of the way too expensive items you could buy, like a $26,600 snowflake braclet or watch we couldn't quite tell.

Our Tongan brother's Manase and Asa chilling in Sun Valley
We went and saw a CSI basket ball game together, it was fun to go as a family. Manase my sister's brother in law is going to be living with my parents this year and goiong to CSI so we all thought we would go and cheer on there team!

Dancing with Gma
Another favorite activity was to take all of Grandmas big fluffy pillows pile them onto the floor and then the kids would jump on them.


My dad found these great boxes and turned them into a fort which was another hit with the kids the especially loved having grandma crwl in and out.



We had lots of snow up in Idaho and my brothers built the traditional slope down the stairs of the deck to make the greatest sledding hill that is litterally out the back porch.
