Once there was a SNOWMAN...

After Christmas, the tribe hopped in the family truckster and traveled North to the white country (Logan, UT). Back to our old stomping grounds. We even went a few paces further north to stay with the Nelsons in Smithfield.

On one of our lazy days, we took advantage of the great snow which had just fallen... we built our first Snowman ever.
Well, the first for Jeffrey and the kids. Uncle Gordon and cousin Carli were part of the construction crew.
Gordon had all the finishing touches to make Frosty look just right. Frosty needed a pet too of course, so he adopted Thumper.
What do you think, could Jeffrey and Frosty be twinners?

Christmas Day

Christmas Day was exciting in AZ, even without any of the fluffy white stuff on the ground. Santa seemed to think the kiddies were good this year. Even Grandma and Grandpa Santa thought they were good, and gave them a big round thingy to jump on.

Bellaroo lucked out with the most coveted toy, the RODY bouncy horse.
Amelia-rella is getting ready for the ball, and her Prince Charming...
Arrrrrrrrrrrr, Capt. Jed is ready for battle, even with his protective head gear to fight off any snow monsters.
Here is Grandad getting flustered over the small parts and crappy glue on the model he gave to Jedidiah...
Here's the cowgirl in action, giving the rubber bronco a run for his money.
