Kelsey joined us with her friend Stephanie and Stephanie's little sister Naomi. Here are Kelsey and Aleigha...having fun.
Still skating...
Gavin zooming by on his new roller skates from Grandpa and Grandma. I don't have a picture of Whittney, but she was skating too...with her new roller skates!
At the end of the open skate time, Kelsey and Whittney were skating. Aleigha was going by herself (with a little support from Gavin). It was short lived and Gavin skated off...leaving Aleigha alone. She was good until she fell and hurt her hand. Jenny (Nathan's cousin, Tad's wife) happened to be skating so she held Aleigha's hand and brought her back to safety.
Cadence, Whittney (in the back), and Avery carrying their sled!
After sledding down the hill, Uncle Tom and dad were waiting at the bottom to carry everyone up to the top for another ride! What a truckload...
These three boys were not in the back of the truck. They decided to ride in the Yukon this time... Joel, Gavin, and Hayden.
The crew...minus Evelyn (she was taking a sled back with Uncle Tom)...Corbin, Aleigha, Niles in the front row. Macy, Olivia, Avery, Whittney, and Cadence in the middle row. Hayden, Gavin, Maddie, Joel, and Dylan in the back row....WHAT A CREW!
Corbin was over the photo shoot... then there were 12.
Gavin is trying out his new snowboard! It fits nicely! 
He made it down the hill without falling!
Whittney on her first ride down the hill.
Aleigha striking a pose before her ride down.
Cheese...
What a fun time with the snowboard.
Splits in the snow...
Max is too excited when the kids are out playing in the snow...
After spending the morning with Grandpa and Grandma, we came home to relax. This afternoon Grandpa and Grandma stopped by to deliver one last gift...a swimming pool for our house! Aleigha was sure it was warm enough we should set it up today and she could try it out!
The kids had a fun time opening gifts and playing together after breakfast. What an amazing Christmas we had this year.
Dalen was sure Grandpa needed to take him for a ride on the four wheeler. When Grandpa told him it was broken, he said, "Fix it." When Grandpa said it was out of gas, Dalen said, "Go get some more!" He was ready for a ride and he wasn't taking no for an answer.
All ready to go...
Ashley, Nancy, Megan, Whittney, Kelsey, and Diane playing Clue...Diane was just watching... Surprisingly, the Clue game went on for hours and hours and hours.
Aleigha scoping out the goods...
Gavin has looked at all his stocking gifts, and is now helping Max with his Angry Bird toy he found in his stocking. It even squeaks!
Gavin's new snowboard! Now we just have to wait for some snow...
Aleigha with a new Barbie...complete with three puppies that swim.
Whittney with her new guitar! She is also wearing a new pair of pajama pants she just opened.
Aleigha opening her new microphone! This was after tears from not getting a guitar after Whittney opened hers. Gotta love girl drama...
Gavin excited about his UnderArmor shirts...okay, maybe not so excited...
Miss Diva trying on her new headband...
Showing off her new earring holder... Whittney opened a star earring holder too.
Gavin was the most excited with the Guitar Hero for the family! Now we could have our own band...too bad we don't have a voice good enough for our lead singer position...
Hoping she will be allowed to eat the whole chocolate candy cane...and not have to share it.
Whittney wrote a letter to Santa and left it next to his milk and giant cookie.
Santa left Whittney a note back...
After our Christmas festivities this evening, the girls were ready to sprinkle the reindeer food on the ground for Santa to see...complete with glitter.
They made sure to spread the food ALL over the yard...so Santa could see the glitter and be sure to stop.
Job completed... All ready for bed.
Maelei was anxious to see Aleigha.
CHEESE~
Dalen having a snack.
Playing around so he could get his picture taken. 
After opening gifts and spending the day with family, we went to Aunt Jo's house for Christmas with Grandma Great and her family. Preston seemed happy to have Aleigha hold him...
The kids having fun! Enrich, Olivia, Whittney, Gavin, Aleigha, and Taylor...
Enrich was the first to sit on Santa's lap...with the help of Mrs. Claus (our special visitors)!!
Olivia and Whittney had their turn on Santa's lap. Here they are...deep in discussion.
Although Aleigha was quick to get on Santa's lap, she looks rather learly of the big jolly guy.
Even Aubrey had a turn with Santa and Mrs. Claus. 
The whole crew (minus Preston, who was napping)...complete with Evelyn in the bottom right corner. They were all rather impressed with the special visitors.
After all the kids sat on Santa's lap, he had a special gift for Grandma Suzie...He made her sit on his lap to open it...it was a gift from Grandpa Pat.
Aleigha was excited with her gift from Uncle Tom and Aunt Megan...a towel wrap and soap sponge.
Uncle Andy and Aunt Holly gave this to the girls. It fits on a card table...this tent is awesome!!!...and Aunt Holly made it!
Grandpa Pat and Grandma Suzie gave Whittney these text messagers...and the matching Justice sweatsuits...the girls were sitting on the couch sending messages to each other.
Target practice in the backyard... Uncle Grant is up.
Uncle Andy's turn...they are aiming for the targets on the edge of the woods.
My turn shooting Nathan's new turkey barrel for his gun...my target was much closer than the edge of the field. Nathan is confident I should take up turkey hunting...we will see.
Uncle Tom's turn next... Grandpa Pat and Aunt Megan also had a turn, but I was inside and missed the photo opportunities. I think everyone had a fun time!
