Happy New Year

Things boys do while Mom is sleeping:)

Knocker Balls and Brandon's Call!

Cute boys Christmas morning.  Kurtis woke everyone up at 6:30, that's the earliest they've gotten up in years.  He was so excited to give the thoughtful gifts he picked out for everyone.

We told them Christmas was snow boarding last month, so they were trying to be happy about the few gifts from relatives:)  Sally saved the day when they were taking out the garbage and she had Knocker Balls for all the boys!

This has been the warmest Christmas ever (75ish for days), but a little wet so we played inside at the church and outside later on.

Best gift was face-timing with Brandon - he sounded and looked fantastic!  He's working hard and said the time is flying by.  We love our favorite missionary~
