First stop was in Downey to see Amanda'a family. We had a yummy lunch and then we did presents. Boy did Grandma and Grandpa Downs spoil our kids.
Avery & Kyler cheezing it up for the camera.
this puppy shook when you pressed its ear.
Lily got a hot wheel electric jeep she can ride around on. She thought that was pretty cool.
It was really funny when they brought out Avery's big present. It really is too bad the video isn't working. Avery kinda just stared at what he got, a little scared and maybe a little in disbelief. It wasn't until they pushed the throttle that he really got super excited. He started to jump up and down, run around and scream. It was really funny. If you cant' tell what it is in the picture, its a miniature electric dirt bike. It can go up to 14 mph! Its actually fairly heavy duty with handbrakes and a turn throttle.
Well we had to go try these fun toys out! However, it had snowed quite a bit so they couldn't ride them just anywhere. Thanks to the men shoveling snow at the Downata Hot Springs pavilion, they could ride around the pavilion.
Lily had no idea about steering whatsoever. She knew how to press the gas though, we just had to make sure to turn her.
Avery was a little scared of his dirt bike. Its a little big for him and it does go pretty fast for a little guy like him. However, he did do it a couple of times on his own (he liked to have an audience though). We can't wait until the snow goes away and it warms up so we can try it out some more! That's pretty much all Avery wanted to do (instead of sledding and swimming). He thinks its a really cool present.
We also did a little sledding and swimming while we were down there ofcourse! We played tons of games and just had a lot of fun. Thanks Grandma & Grandpa Downs for a fun Christmas!
Then we headed up to Blackfoot for Christmas with the Turpins. Its always a great time with about a million cousins running around. Avery loved having cousins to play with. We did the annual Turpin talent show which was no disappointment. It was a good time to remember some good memories with the Turpins and have some good food and good playing with them all. Sorry there are no pictures!
We spent New Year's Eve with Brian's brother Richard and his family. Our kids actually ended up being sick, but we still had so much fun! We did some sledding on the way home and then were just glad to be home after a fun week away from home.
