My Favorite Moments of Christmas Break

It was great to spend most of Christmas Break in Ashton, I loved being there but more important was being with family!

There are so many traditions that I've grown-up with and it was great to be a part of them again this year!!!

..:This post is full of great moments during break:..

Seeking Shelter!

BRRRRRRR but I love it!

SOOOOOOOOOO pretty! Papa used the snow blower to clear a path for Emma, she loved the snow.

Chase looking cute with Kaeli.

Having lunch and visiting with the Sharps.

Christmas Day at Grandma and Grandpa Marotz's house, another favorite! Each family member has a stocking, this year there were 51, it was neat to see my kid find our family's names.

THE Ben 10 car, Aunt Beet is the best!

Emma finding our family pile and Elly watching!




Emma loved her Christmas Eve gift and it was great to see her with all of her cousins.

Christmas Eve has always been my most-favorite part of Christmas. I can't remember a Christmas growing up that wasn't spent with the Marotz family. We do dinner, candlelight service, and a present. It really sets the mood and makes you remember the reason for the season.

Zach, Emma, and Daisy having a great time. We loved seeing them!!!

While the adults were playing cards at the table, El had her own little game on the floor.

"anybody need a six of hearts?"

My baby laughing, she is always so happy! She got her top two teeth on Christmas day.

Mom and Emma making the Marotz famous sour cream cookies!

Some moments that I didn't have pics for are as follows:

1) We made it to Ashton, the roads were terrible.

2)The look on Eric's face Christmas Day when he learned 86 was closed and he so badly wanted to go elk hunting in Boise...oh, toooooooooooo bad!
3)Watching Drake, Em, and Zach rumble. Drake won, no surprise, he's bigger than Zach and Em.
Pictures of us with our gift are still to come!
4) Pennies games with the family, always FUN.

5) Watching Jazz games at Grandma and Grandpa's house. It was great to see Grandpa healthy. It was especially great to see him laugh and give that big ol smile when Yau Ming was kicked out of the game.
