We had lots of fun in McCall with Grandma and Grandpa. Grandma planned lots of things for us to do and had incentives for the kids to be good. She had a box of wrapped gifts that the kids could choose from when they got along with each other and didn't fight. Andrew has been having a difficult time with this for years now!
We went sledding at the dump.
We ice skated at the Manchester Ice and Event Center. Andrew loved it so much that Dustin and I took them back there the next day.
We had a nice Christmas Eve program.
Grandma kept them busy with games during the day.
Santa even found our little family up in McCall!
It was a Lego fest for the boys and girly things for McCall.
The moose pajamas were a hit.
Lots of memories with this nativity scene. My mom made these when we lived in Provo. The set came from the BYU craft store. My mom would go to the BYU book store once a week for almost a year. She made five sets one for Donna, Lois, and NoraLee's family. They were given to them in sets for Christmas presents over a five year period. Lance (14) and Lane (12) and I (7) would come along sometimes and Lance once made a skull and a santa with a BYU football and Lane made a little kids nativity set which he still has and sets out every year.
McCall's 3rd Birthday! We had a princess party with lots of pink princess things.
Oh, a purse with a princess domino set!
What, a doll house? Awesome. Our old neighbors gave us all their old toys. Their girls have grown out of them. I saved the doll house for McCall's birthday!
I could not find McCall one afternoon. I called her name and she didn't answer. Sometimes she goes and hangs out behind the couch in Dustin's office so I thought to look there right away and sure enough she was there but sound asleep!
Kylie's family stayed with us while she was here for State Basketball. Unfortunately they did not take home the trophy this year. We watched most of the games out in Kuna. They never made it to the Idaho Center like last year.
Kylie and Uncle Skip jammed out on day after a ruff game. Dustin on harmonica and Kylie on guitar.
Daddy helped the kids make Valentine's day cards for me after church.
Here are some of the cards the kids made at school for dad and I.
We took off for SLC the last day in December and stayed till New year's day. Sterling had worked on a nice sledding track in his backyard. The kids had a blast.
Andrew taking the corners.
Jackson was a little dare devil!
We went to Rodizios Brazillian Grill while we were there. Dannene gets a babysitter every year that we go for New Year's and us adults get all stuffed. 
Andrew's class had a Christmas party with some really fun treats. They had peppermint chocolate dipped pretzel sticks and dipped oreo snowmen.
They played bingo. 
The 1st grade put on a little christmas program for the parents. Andrew was nervous as usuall but you could see him mumbling the words and half doing all the hand actions.
Primary had a really fun Christmas activity. They divided into 4 groups and reenacted the nativity at one station, made ginger bread ornaments at another, did a service project (making cards for the missionaries in the ward) and read a Christmas story at the last station.
