Park City Christmas Party

We ended our fun Christmas trip to Utah with a drive up to Park City to Matt's aunt and uncles house!! They have the best train that spans their entire living room...Gage and Ellie were mesmerized!

The whole Lewis/Lamb fam.....Aren't we cute? Look at Gagey's smile!

Merry Christmas #2

After mom worked until 3 am in the ED in Colorado, she flew back to Utah at 8 am and despite no sleep still enjoyed Christmas day!! We got to go up to Great Grandma Gibb's and have dinner! Grandma had really wanted a Wii for Christmas!! And look what she got!

Great Grandma and Ellie belly.

Brady and Kariann stayed the night at Grandma Olsen's and spent Christmas morning with us...

Gage and Ashton giving each other a little sugah...

Cute cousins! I love Abby's face in this one! It makes me smile everytime I look at it!

Merry Christmas #1

So we had to have Santa come a little early this year because mom had to fly back to Colorado to work a shift in the ED for Christmas Eve. We wrote him a letter and asked him if he would come to Grandma Olsen's house a day early so mom could watch everyone open their presents!! What a haul!!!

Sugar Cookies for Santa

Santa is a lucky man with these gourmet cookie decorators!!!
Look at the concentration...

Christmas jammies and cousins

New jammies for Christmas Eve!! Lets see how long the four of them will sit here...

Not long!!

Temple Square at Christmastime...

This is one of my most FAVORITE things to do at Christmas time!!! The lights are so beautiful around the Salt Lake temple...it puts you right into the christmas spirit!!
Devin and Ashley with Matt and the kids....It was REALLY cold!! brrrr!

I love this picture of our family in front of the reflection pond!!

Lamb's, Shepherds, and Angels

The kids got to be part of a Nativity while we were at one of the many family Christmas parties...Gage the shepherd with his little lamb. Ellie and Abby were some of the cute little angels...

Carter was the oldest shepherd, keeping all the rest in line...

If Santa were a 9 year old....

My Santa, how young you look.....Oh wait! It's Carter in a Santa Suit!! Ha ha! We laughed so hard! He had a treat in his bag for all of the kids...

Santa!

We got to go and see a fun Christmas play while we were in Utah! And it was the first time that the kids got to sit on Santa's lap! Ellie went back 2 more times just to make sure that he got her list down!!

Gage wasn't even scared, just walked up, sat down, and told Santa that he wanted a "Rocky the Robot Truck".

The whole fam...even the baby belly is showing for baby #4...

Gingerbread Houses with Grandma Lewis

Christmas time is sooooo fun!! We had fun building gingerbread houses with Grandma Lewis!! Gage got more candy in his mouth than on the house....

Ellie was very creative with her house! It turned out so cute!

Ice Skating with Grandma and Grandpa Lewis

The kids finally got to go ice skating while we were in Utah! They loved it! Grandpa, Gage and I had fun watching and cheering them on!
They even had little "walkers" for those who weren't to sure of themselves!

Ellie was going solo without the walker!! They had so much fun that they made Matt take them back the next day!!!

Carter and Matt trying to strike a pose! Nobody was seriously injured!

Off to Utah for Christmas Vacation!!!

Squished into the car and ready for the 8 hour drive!! Hope we don't get snowed in in Wyoming!!!

I looked back and Gage had shoved almost a whole container of bubble tape in his mouth! Disgusting! Bubble gum is his favorite!!

Ellie's Birthday party! Oh what an event it was!!

Ahhhh! Dont you love kids birthday parties!!! We had about 13 girls and boys, went to see "The princess and the frog" and then back to our house for presents, and blueberry muffins! (Ellie wanted homemade blueberry muffins instead of cupcakes...). So many presents, so little time!! Gage had to jump in front in every picture to make sure I got him, too!
Here is the gang!!!

Silly faces!

Ellie's favorite present came from her friend Ty: REAL tree frogs!! Her and her friend Presley couldn't get enough of them! She named them Squirt and Ava.

Even Gage like to hold them!!!
