Justin got a Buffalo Wild Wings gift card for Christmas so we took the kids out one night. They love BWW. 

Disneyland Jar Jan. 7, 2016

These cute kids pulled their money together to start a Disneyland Jar. They added $10 of their money and we will keep adding money each month and maybe we will get back to Disneyland soon 

After Grandma Merrill heard they were saving money in a jar, she sent them $40 to contribute to our next Disneyland trip! 

1:00 church

After the new year our ward changes tom1:00 church. I was worried about filling our time but the kids pulled out their kindles and read scriptures and looked at the friend magazine. 

New Years Eve

Grandma and Papa Merrill gave everyone tickets to the Jazz game for New Years Eve. It was such a fun way to spend the evening before ringing in the new year. After the game we headed back to Emily's and waited for 12 to hit. 

 Happy New Year!!!

Santa gave us tickets to see Star Wars again but this time we got to see it in 3D

 The girls convinced me that they could be good and nice to each other so we moved them back in together and they are sharing a room again.

 These two love the xbox and their new games

Merry Christmas 2015

The kids were so excited to wake up at the cabin Christmas morning. 

 Santa came

 They were all so excited that Santa brought them their very own Kindles

 The girls got a new dress up and some dolls

 The boys got a new double shot basketball hoop that they got the day we got home from Island Park

Christmas Eve at the Cabin

We went out sledding on Christmas Eve. The snow was pretty soft so it was really hard getting it packed down to go down the hill. 

 And then Justin broke the sled

 We went back to the cabin and ended up playing tag in the snow. Talk about exhausting.

 We made Christmas cookies for Santa

 We made Christmas plates that the kids wanted to leave at the cabin for Grandma and Papa

 It was only about 4:00 pm but the kids couldn't stand it anymore. They wanted to open a present. We let them open their Christmas PJ's and they weren't very excited that thats all it was :-) 

 We spent the evening playing games, watching movies, and getting ready for Santa

 The decided a Dr Pepper was best for santa and they were off to bed
