Christmas in Sandpoint

Wow, its been a while since we have posted anything. Sorry about the delayed postings. We have been pretty busy lately. We went to Sandpoint to celebrate Christmas with Tiffanys family, it was very fun. The boys got a chance to see a lot more snow then they do here in Utah (there was a lot of snow when we got there, and it snowed all but the last two days we were there.) Here are a few pictures of us outside enjoying the snow.

This is all of us getting ready to do some sledding. The boys kind of enjoyed the hill, the only problem was the snow kept spraying them on the face as they went down. They didn't enjoy that quite so much.

This is Tyson outside in the snow. He was really bundled up well, but he still looked pretty cold.

This is Owen in the snow. We were pulling both of them in the sled that he is sitting on. Owen loved riding in it, but Tyson wasn't a huge fan. He got out at one point and wanted to pull Owen around. It was pretty cute.
This was outside of Ken and Paulas house. They have a great hill to go sledding. This was New Years Eve, we were getting the hill ready for our New Years day sledding just after midnight. It was a lot of fun.


The boys did pretty well opening Christmas presents. The only problem we had is that with each present they opened, they only wanted to play with that one, and didn't care about the rest of their presents. It took a little while, but I think they got the hang of it towards the end. Its so funny that the cheapest and simplest presents were some of their favorites. They got a set of cheap Walkie-Talkies that are like flip cell phones, and they didn't want to put those down for anything. They also got a little plastic flashlight in a set of tools, and they fight over it all the time. I guess we should have gotten two.


This was Christmas morning. If the boys look a little tired, its because they were. We were woken up at 7 by Tiffany, she let us sleep in. She played Alvin and the Chipmunks Christmas CD really loud. I think we looked pretty good considering the circumstance.

Owen and Tyson absolutely loved those cell phones. They would just sit there and jabber constantly into them. Owen generally acted like it was a fairly serious conversation, while Tyson would occasionally do a slight laugh and make it sound like the other person said something funny. They are so cute.


This is Owen at the Christmas eve party. I'm not sure what he thought about the antlers, but he wore them for a little while.



This is Tyson being kind of nerdy. He kept jumping in the box and acting silly.
