Christmas 2007

Christmas 2007 was a blast! We headed up to Apple Valley, to Malinda's parent's house, on Christmas Eve and stayed until the day after Christmas. Malinda's brothers were also there with their families. After the kids went to bed we played a lot of games, but I have to mention that the girls kicked the boys' butt (twice) in Family Fued! Christmas morning was rough. Nobody seemed to sleep well and we were all really tired. Mason woke up and stayed in a cranky mood the rest of the trip, come to find out that he was sick. :( His new toys kept him distracted for a little while. With 3 little ones on the move there was never a dull moment and plenty of laughs.


The day after Christmas we did a little bit of shopping in the morning for the great deals! Then, that evening we met up with Matt's parents. We had dinner, opened presents and went out to do a little more shopping before heading home.

This was by far Mason's favorite Christmas present. He drops the ball in and watches it spin, twist and turn down the ramps and tubes.

A Day in the Snow

Malinda's parents had a cabin at Pine Summit this past weekend and they invited all the kids and grandkids up to play and hang out. So, we met up with her parents and her brother Jason (and his family). We had a lot of fun watching Mason play in the snow (it was his first time). We gave him an icicle and he was just sucking away on it. Mason (and the adults) had so much fun going sledding. We spent about an hour sledding away before the cold caught up with Mason at which point we headed back to the cabin.
