Week of fun at home

Christmas vacation for a working person normally means just a couple of days at home, however I had the great blessing of spending a week at home with my family for the holidays. Here we are my Sister Brianna, Me, Callie, and Mom excited for time together with family.

On Christmas Sunday we all dressed up and headed for church together. Here I am with my lovely Mom. 

My Mom thought I looked like an elf so she put this hat on me, which went  a little too well with my outfit.

Here I am with my sisters ready for church christmas Sunday. Looking festive.

That night my brother Mattnew and his family arrived. I have acquired some serious braiding skills over the past couple of years. Here's my brother Matthew, and my sisters Brianna, and Callie sporting braids by yours truly! Triplets. :)

Family togetherness plus tacos equals happiness!!

Hanging with my favorite boy!

On Wednesday (the day after Christmas) we had family pictures taken. Here's my nephew Adden. He told his Mom when they arrived, "they are going to be surprised at home handsome I am." Nice work buddy you looked extra great in your bow tie. 

My brother-in-law's friend, Claire Johhson,  took our photos, she is great with people and I can't wait to see them. Here's one of my sisters and I taken from my camera. Love it. 

My parents after pictures still romantic after all these years.

Our true colors come out.

Just me. Too much wholesome sunshine for this blond blue eyed gals.

That night we met up with my Mom's sisters family to go see the long awaited "Les Miserables". We (as in our whole family) have been obsessed with the music of Les Mis for years and have memorized every song.  I'm pretty sure we were all silently singing along as we watched the movie. Loved it!

After a pretty quiet Thursday we were ready for more fun. On Friday Matthew, his family, and I went to visit our friends who we grew up with Racheal and Joseph Hogeland. They recently moved to a piece of property near where our parents lived. It was beautiful out there. They even had a go cart and a quad so we went on rides, had  barbecue, and had a great time visiting.

On Saturday we spent time as a family and went for a hike on the ranch. Such a beautiful place.

Mom with her grandsons. So cute.

I got Callie an Apolo Sweatshirt too. Spreading the Apolo love. :)

Sunday came all too soon and the ranch bid me a beautiful good bye. It was the perfect ending for an amazing week.
