More Holiday Fun in Idaho

The Monday following Christmas, the children and I headed to Idaho. We first picked up Mimi and her brand new puppy and joined extended family a the cabin in West Yellowstone. We had a couple of wonderful days there first! Then, we went back to Idaho to be with most of my siblings and their families. Here are most of the grandchildren in the pjs their amazing Mimi made them! Seriously, that's a whole lot of pjs to make--and they were FANCY!!

We were so excited to finally be able to meet the latest King grandbaby, Clara Lorraine (Carli & Blake's first baby). What a doll!

We were also excited to have Lou join us for the New Year (from Thursday-Sunday)! Here we are on New Year's Eve playing games. Lou did a great impression of the Cowardly Lion that won't soon be forgotten! :)Puppies are the best! I wish they didn't have to grow up. This is Mimi's new puppy, Opie. Emma wanted to claim her for her own. She still prays for the tiny little puppy.

My kids are finally old enough to really enjoy sledding (poor Katie's weren't--see Cora in the bottom left picture)!

My four, racing down the hill together.I even enjoyed a couple of crazy rides down the hill with them (giving up the camera & camcorder for a ride).
Gehrig & Damian

That's Mason & Mimi helping us have an excellent time on the sledding hill.

Seriously. . .I can't look at that face and not want to squeeze the stuffings out of him. He's TOO cute!

Lou and Damian started something that was supposed to end up a snowman, but they froze before they could finish it!
