Christmas already feels like ages ago. Looking back through the pictures of the holiday break was a real treat. Here are some of the highlights.

Secret Santa event with the Hawkers. Here is Eliza ready to make a special delivery.

Holiday dinner with the Hawkers. I gave my phone to Robert to take the picture. He said he’d never taken a picture with a phone before so I had to show him how to do it. Funny that I got cut off 🙂 All good though. It was a nice party and fun to be with the family.

Kevin, Bethany, and Anne stayed the night with us during their voyage from Mesa up to Filer and came with us to the Christmas Sacrament meeting. We applaud them for making the journey.

Up with the fam in Filer, Ashley discovered an oldy-goldy art spinner toy. We got it fixed up, bought new paint, and took it for a whirl. It was lots of fun and made some fun pictures.

White Christmases are the best. There was just enough snow on Christmas Eve to pull the kids around and let them get a little more comfortable on the skis before our planned ski trip after Christmas.

While outside, we all had a lot of fun playing on Dad’s zip line creation in the backyard. The girls loved it and both rode many many times.

Christmas Eve dinner with the traditional and highly regarded rainbow jello.

Special present from Ashley to Eliza. The card is precious.

Back when we were dating, I made Kathryn a two player Chinese Checkers game for Christmas. Back then, I also started a full six player version as well but never finished it. I’ve been holding onto it the last 9 years and decided that I’d finish it up this year. It was a little tricky working on it undetected, and I had one close call which raised some suspicions, but in the end, Kathryn claimed it was a surprise and she didn’t know what I was up to. We’ll take it as a huge success to pull out a surprise in this day and age were we basically just wrap up each others presents that we bought for ourselves.

Mom’s oh-so-delicious apple pie. I decorated it with the Christmas tree 🙂

Hi Landon!

Landon Gerald Moore with his Grandpa Gerald and Grandma Nancy.

We had some fun jamming out.

Complete with Hawaiian dancers.

The day after Christmas, we headed up to Bogus Basin and met up with Josie and her kids for the girls first ski day.

Everyone did great and had a lot of fun! Huge success!

Really pretty snowscape.

After carrying Landon around, it was refreshing to hold little Baby Anne. You forget how small newborns are. They grow up so fast.

It’s a Landon ‘elfie!

All ready to welcome in 2020. We got “snow warning-ed” out of our planned New Years Eve party at the cabin, so we hung out in style at our house. We were sure ready though.
