Other Christmas Break Activities

Let's see, what else have we gotten into...
Between our AZ trip, getting ready for company here, and of course a new baby I feel like I have done a lot of laundry this month.

We have had a lot of fun with cousins! Allie and Uli the models:
They had fun doing things like going hiking...


exploring and discovering new oddities...
even a little rock climbing.
Rachel was blessed on the 26th. It was special for us to have family here for the event.

And we have played a lot of games with our little family. Allie learned how to play UNO from cousin Jack about two week before Christmas and we have been playing the game nonstop. We have some fun simple games for the little guys too, like Hot Potato:
We are excited for 2011 and the wondeful things ahead. More babies (not us), two weddings (both sides of the family) and more learning, growing and discovering.

Happy New Year to you all! We love you (because if we didn't, you wouldn't be invited to our private blog ;o) ha)!

Grandpa Payne, thanks for taking the picture of us playing as a family. I had not realized that you did until we downloaded the photos from our camera. I hope my children have good memories of growing up in a happy home with parents who loved them.


Like Jason and I have.

Thanks for putting all of these cute pictures on your blog. Wesley is such a character. He looks like he is just trying to concoct his next adventure as he crawls out of the dryer. The pics of Uli and Allie will be so fun for them to look at when they are older. The Blessing pics are so sweet. It was such a pleasure to be there for that!

Joy, GREAT PHOTOS! I am chomping at the bit to get an SLR camera. (what does that mean? Who chomps on a bit and what does it taste like?)

Your bosom area looks very...full and volumptuous in the family game shot. Love it. (Yes, I just said it). Very sexy.

Fireplace=awesome.

We love playing games too. Rachel looks so pretty in her blessing dress.

It looks like you had a lot of fun without us, but we're glad we got to at least be there for Thanksgiving. It also looks like it was way warmer for Christmas. Cute pictures.

Joy and Jason you both look so nice in your Sunday clothes, and Rachel is so cute in her dress. That picture of the 3 of you is great. It was so fun to be able to spend time with everyone that was there for Christmas. The photos of the kids and Uli playing together remind me of fun times with our cousins when we were little. Good memories were made, I'm sure!
