Christmas was delightful and it was sooooooo fun to see much of the family!!! Mikiya loved having snow to play in and I was amazed that a 3 year old could stand the freezing cold for a couple hours at a time.

Highlights of the trip

Mike - seeing family, playing games with family, also with Rudy in their rooms when the family room closed down. Painting, ripping up carpet, moving furniture and playing Mario Kart.

Megan - threw my back out and spent much of the time needing help walking, standing,etc. I really enjoyed getting to visit with everyone.

Mikiya - loved the snow!!!! helped Daddy and Grandma Walton paint, had a blast sleeping on the hide-a-bed, getting to play with all the cousins and getting to stay up past her bedtime. She is still having Kaelie withdrawals and also thinks she needs to go to Grandma Gallubitts to see Lauren and Megan. Both grandmas have playrooms which gives her fun and privacy.

Quaid - Just growing so much we can't believe it! He loves to sit up, but needs a little help or he falls over before long. He got spoiled having so many hugs and kisses and just being held all the time he thinks it proper protocol. His hair is coming in a reddish blond and his smile is still sparkling. He had fun laughing and cackling as often as possible.

Our favorite highlight was getting to go to the open house for the Rexburg Temple. It was wondering to be there with our children. While in the celestial room, Mikiya whispered, "I want to see Jesus in the Temple Mom."
