Fun in the snow with the cousins!

The Friday after Thanksgiving we went to visit with Great Grandma Morgan. We had a very nice visit and were able to hear all about her recent adventure to some Church history sites and other places. While we were there we were able to also visit with a few Nathan's Aunt and Uncles when they all stopped by. I am so glad we could make it over to see them.

The Saturday after Thanksgiving we went over to visit with Great Grandma Tolman and have lunch with her. We also had a few aunts and uncles on that side of the family meet up with us at Great Grandma's. This time two of Nathan's cousins came along too. I think I am safe to say that these two are my kids favorite cousins. The week leading up to our trip I kept being asked if they were going to be able to see Tracy and Austin. Well, they did and they had a lot of fun.

I was joking around telling Grandma and Grandpa that I hope Aunt Gayle and Uncle Mike don't mind that our kids are really here to see the cousins and Mike and Gayle just come with the package. I actually said, "...just want to see Tracy..." and Ben piped up, "And Austin! And Austin! And Austin!" Okay, okay, Ben, Austin too! I thought it was extremely cute!

Anyway here are some fun pictures of the kids playing in the snow out in front of Great Grandma's house.
Ben throwing a snowball at his Austin...nice shot! Austin was a very good sport about it.

Ben, Tatiana and Tracy gathering "ammo" (aka snowballs)!

Oh no! Ben turns on his own mom! Look at that face though! Too cute!

How quickly he can turn from a snowball throwing maniac to my sweet snow angel. Awww!

Nick, Ben, Austin, Tatiana, Tracy...fun in the snow!

Grandpa actually got Andrew to come out and catch snowflakes with him! Andrew had fun doing so, until he got cold and went back inside. Then he was content to watch the snow out the window again. Thank you Grandpa!

After a while Uncle Dave offered to take us up to the hills for some sledding. The kids were all sorts of excited! Uncle Dave, Nathan, and I took the five older kids to the hills while Andrew stayed back at Great Grandma's house and supervised the other adults. Hee Hee!
Ben getting a free ride from daddy.

Tatiana is in that fur somewhere!

Nick, looking so grown up.

Hello cutie!!!! And Hello to you too Ben! ;-)

Such beautiful children and such beautiful scenery!

Now my own hubby is turning on me! Snowball incoming!!!

Nathan insisted on taking my photo too, so I guess I should include one.

Nathan and his Uncle Dave, we just love Uncle Dave!

Thanks for the fun day and fun memories everyone!!!
