Family Bonding

Lindsay and her cute family came for Christmas this year which is so much fun! In wanting to spend as much time with them as possible while they are here, we went to Burley last weekend. Sammy brought his girlfriend, Mindy, home for the weekend as well so it was great to finally meet her. We had lots of fun staying up way too late, playing games, and just hanging out. Here are some pics we snapped from the weekend.
In that first picture, everyone thought Syd looked like she wanted to eat Baby Henry...we got a kick out of that. While we were all sitting around talking one night, Brandt built a tower out of Kate's blocks and put Pocahontas on top like in the movie. It lasted for about 45 seconds before Kate tore it down. On Saturday, we had a birthday party for basically anyone in the family that had birthdays in December.  We made homemade chili, cinnamon twists, and cupcakes...mmmm mmmmm Good!! We had a full house which was so much fun.

We also took family pictures on Sunday after church (hence why we all look so sharp ;)  It is so hard for certain people in our family (ahem...SAM, ZAC, AND SYD) to be serious for the 30 seconds it SHOULD take to get a good family photo - so the process ends up taking FOREVER. And this is the best one we got. Sorry Sam...it's your own fault :)

A very fun weekend indeed. I was sad that we had to leave and come back to Idaho Falls to work during the week, but those bills aren't going to pay themselves (though I wish they would...wouldn't that be neat?) See you all next weekend for CHRISTMAS!!!
