THE WELLS TALES

The rest of the time at Grandma and Papa Wells house we spent playing in the snow, helping Papa with outside decorations, relaxing, making gingerbread houses with Grandma, and opening presents.

GIBBY FAMILY CHRISTMAS 2009

We spent christmas with my family this year, doing things a little untraditional.

For Christmas eve instead of having home made soup, we decided (well dad decided) forget the mess of 22 of us, the whole family and Grandma and Grandpa Lambert. We went up to Albion to eat at the Yert. It turned out to be alot of fun and we got to leave the mess behind. The only thing I felt bad about was keeping the poor waitress away from her family longer on christmas eve. We left around 6 so we didnt stay there all night.

After dinner we went back to the house where we acted out the Nativity scene, sang christmas songs, and Nate made some delish egg nog. After Nate and Jaren set off a few fire works for the boys which they loved!!!

Hank made the cutest, sweetest baby jesus ever!

The cast for this years production, this was probably one of the first years that I can remember that Grandpa didnt narate. After songs we had the boys open up their christmas jammies, this is the best picture I could get.

Christmas morning was so much fun, I really think this is just as exciting for the parents as it is for the children, although for different reasons.I loved seeing Cooper get so excited about presents, he got an awesome Tractor from Grandpa and Grandma, a baby dinosaur from Cousin Carson, a lot of dinosaur books from mom and dad, animals galore just to name a few, he was spoiled for sure.

Christmas afternoon Nate, myself, dad, Hyrum, and Eric went on a hike to the top of the hill behind my parents house. It was so pretty, all day we had been in the clouds until we got to the top and the clouds were below us.

A couple days later Nate, Hyrum, Devon and my dad went on a full days hike where they started up by pomeralle and hiked down by our church ranch they saw some amazing ice scultures made by the blizzard a few days earlier and wore themselves out.

The day Nate and I were leaving we realized we hadnt taken any pictures of Cousin Eli and Hank who are only 7 weeks apart. So here they are, going to be just like Carson and Cooper very soon.

My Aunt Wendy and Karen came for a couple of days so we had to get one last picture.

Saying goodbye

Our Family has really grown, here are all the cousins.

Carson and Cooper 2 years old, Hank 41/2 months old Eli 4 months old, Chloe 6 months old, Coral 5 years old and Abbigail 6 years old

When we got back to the Wells house Anne and Marc were there. Cooper really warmed up to Jonah and just loved playing with him. He was so cute to share all of the toys with him, but only him, when Sophie would come around he wasnt very thrilled to share.
