Extended Christmas break

Christmas came and went with some memorable times. The week long after holiday break was uneventful but it was nice to have Mason and Allie home from school. Then came the New Year and we jumped on a plane and headed on vacation!! It was AWESOME and a much needed break. We were able to see Mason's parents and family. His parents were even generous enough to allow 5 extra people to invade their quiet home for 15 days! I hope they will have us back again! :)

We did a lot of different things but only took pictures of a few events. One day we went to a jump house. IT WAS SO FUN! It was a warehouse type building that had 7-8 blowup slide/jump houses. The kids had a blast.





Ike that he was so big. He had this HUGE grin the entire time he stood on in this spot.



Ike, Allie and Mason enjoying the slide.

Papa Dave met his first grandson and they 'clicked.' While there Ike learned standing is so much more fun when playing with toys. Good-bye to the days of sitting still!

Ike met his Great grandparents

And his Uncle Brady.

Of course we saw more people but someone needs to make me take more pictures. I started off good and there are not very many with Dani since at first she was a little timid. My goal or new year's resolution for 2011...Become that girl with the camera at family events that is annoying! At least that person had pictures to remember fun times. :)

EVERY where we go Allie finds horses. This is a wall murial in one of the airports. I've never really noticed they had pictures on the wall.
