Like I said before, "It was a CRAZY week!" We had around 20 people staying at our house and coming and going at all times. It was SO fun to spend time with family that we don't get to see everyday. We ate a lot of delicious, BIG meals, the ladies shopped, the guys snowboarded and played in the snow, we all played games, picked out stuff for Jason's Mom's house while she was were here, watched movies and attempted to get caught up on seasons of Lost, The Office, and Always Sunny in Philadelphia. There are a lot of random pics. I posted most of them for family to see. Sorry for those I didn't get pictures of (Tyler, Ed...) and we missed you Suzanne. We wish you could have been here.
My oldest bro, Jake and his girlfriend (Angela)
Josie and John
Jason and John... the balding buddies!
Paulette and John (Audrey's Mom and Dad)
Audrey and Avaree had a blast playing non stop. Avaree is having Audrey Bear withdrawls.
Santa brought Avaree a pink kitchen! (I'm kind of sad because we don't have many pics of Christmas morning. There was just so much going on, but we did get video) oh and Avaree is sitting in a stroller not a wheelchair.
To be honest, the kitchen set was more for me. It was always my dream when I was a little girl.
I love to watch her play!
Jason looking HOT in his new clothes!
Santa brought Weston his own piano.

Thanks Grandmere, the clothes are darling! 
Girls night out at Gateway. Utah finally has an Urban Outfitters!
After all the family flew out... our good ol' friends, the Decker's, from Southern Cal were in town and stopped by for a quick visit. Thanks for coming and driving in the scary snow!
Oh and how could I forget?? We got 2 new additions to our home... Jason's brother, Wes, moved in until his Mom's house is done and is going to attend a semester at UVSC. The cold is definitely an adjustment for this Sunny California Surfer! And my brother, Brady, moved in to save some money since he is going to be getting married in March. Good thing Jason finished our basement because our house is officially FULL! The more the merry, right??

You are quite the hostess! Your house is big enough for everyone, though... and it's nice to not have to travel for the holidays... I am just looking at the bright side here. No, it looks like you guys had a great time! Now I bet you are ready to get back on schedule! Good luck with the two extra boys in the basement! Time to start planning a wedding!! You are the bomb, Karlin! So glad we were able to see each other last trip! Thanks for watching my boys and letting us crash at your palace! Love you!
Can you believe how many !!! I had in the last comment?! I was rather excited about all your pictures!
Okay, this is my last comment... I promise. I LOVE Avaree's kitchen! and I love that you got it for her because you wanted it. I am like that often with my kids (although I don't buy them barbies, but I always wanted a bike growing up and didn't ever have one...) Anyway, I bet it is so exciting for you to see her play with it. It looks so nice... I want to come over and play with it!
What a crazy, fun filled Christmas. I bet you are ready for some R&R! I love Avaree's kitchen set, so cute.
And what's up with Janet NEVER owning a bike? I didn't realize you had such a sad childhood Jan! ;)
We will be in SL twice in Jan. The weekend of the 12th and 26th if either of those weekends work for family photos. Let me know.
I love the kitchen. I've been resisting buying one of those for Sunny for a few years. I keep telling myself that I won't have anywhere to put it. It's so cute though. Maybe next year I'll break down and buy one. I recognize those princess costumes on Avaree and her cousin - Sunny got the same thing from her Grandma. She loves it.
First of all, I am so glad we came up to see you (even though i was sure we were going to slide down the hill and crash). Your home is beautiful, you have done such a great job. I hope we can spend some more time there next time we are in Utah. Second (and most important) once again I am SOOO sorry that Wade gave Bennett a root beer on your nice rug. That is so embarrassing and I really do want to get a carpet cleaner over there just so I feel better about it. OK? We miss you guys, hope to see you soon.
