Christmas Morning

Mark is at work so I thought I would post a few pictures of our morning. Zach really liked opening presents and loves playing with his new toys. Which is another reason why I can post, Zach is occupied.

Sundance

We spent a few days at a Cabin at Sundance with my family. It was so much fun but the drive up there was kind of crazy. We went up Monday at it was snowing like crazy!! Mark along with a few others of my brothers and sister went up earlier to get a full day of skiing in but weren't able to get up there until about noon because of weather. They had to stop and get chains to get up the mountain. The rest of us went up a little later in the day but had to sit at the bottom of the canyon because there was a controled Avalanche and it needed to be cleaned up before anyone could drive up. We waited at the bottom for about an hour with screaming kids. Zach was starving and sick of being in the car after driving for about 4 plus hours ( it would normally take a little over an hour).

It was so fun once we got up though. The cabin was so neat. It had a private hot tub in the back. We made a nice turkey dinner that night and eat while watching the football game. Mark and I ended up leaving the next day around noon because Mark had to make it back to work by Wednesday morning. It was short but we still had lots of fun. Mark had fun snowboarding. It has been a long time since he has gone so he had lots of fun in the snow.

We celebrated Christmas with my family a few days before Christmas. Mark had the weekend off plus Monday and Tuesday so we went to Kaysville to visit my family for a few days before going up to Sundance Mon & Tues.

Zach's First Encouter with Snow

Last night we finally got some now here in Twin Falls. So this morning while Tiff was out running, Zach and I went out to check out the snow. Zach didn't quite know what to think about it. He didn't mind it at first, in fact he kind of liked walking through the snow and hearing it crunch under his feet.

But, he took a little spill he got snow all over his mittens. When the snow stuck to his mittens I think he started having seconds thoughts about the snow.

When he realized that he couldn't get the snow off he started screaming and yelling until I brushed it off. We stayed outside a little bit longer before we went in.

When he realized that the snow was still on his mittens in the house he was really mad, he started yelling again until all of his clothes that had any snow on them were off before he calmed down. Then he avoided the entryway where his snowy clothes were for a few hours. It was really funny, but I hope our next adventure in the snow is a little more enjoyable for him.

Getting Ready for Christmas

We made christmas cookies tonight. Zach ate more frosting than cookie!!

Zach's New Interest

Zach has found a new hobby, it's kind of strange but really funny. He has started randomly putting on our shoes and walking around in them. I guess he's just checking out who wears cooler shoes, mom or dad. The funny thing is he does it every day. The dates on these videos were: Dec 4, Dec 5, and Dec 7. He's really cute. Here's a video:

And a couple of pictures:
