This will always be home, no matter where life takes us.
Christmas in the hills was amazingly busy, entertaining, loads of fun, exhausting, unforgettable, and cherished! To try and recap the whole trip would take me too long (a ton of pics!). Here is the shortened version -
Mom's delicious homemade chili Thursday night - Sledding and Rush Hockey game Friday - Grandparents/sister pictures, Chucky Cheese, and board games with pizza Saturday - Baby Zak's baptism and Christmas with Mom's best roasted lamb to date Sunday - Shopping and Movie theater Monday - Long trip home on Tuesday!

This was definitely a Star Wars Christmas for our boys. Auntie Faye made Max and Lincoln blankets with Chewie and Yoda on them! Max was beside himself!
Auntie Mary and Uncle Chris found Darth Vadar, Chewie, and Yoda slippers for the boys!
Auntie Tina and Jason found Max a Yoda Santa hat!
Can you say "happy" ?! Yes they are!

Father David is literally part of the family now. He has married all of us, including mom and dad's renewal, and has baptized 5 of the 8 grandkids.
Two handsome dudes!
Always happy to be home!
One of the happiest babies this family has ever had!
All of Zak's cousins surrounded him during the ceremony and it was amazing to be apart of it.
Much less stress sitting with Papa
Auntie Tina and the beautiful nieces, Izzy, Soph, and Kyra
Love these lil ladies
Papa asked Santa for a new pencil box for his shop. Santa delivered it to our house so the boys brought it to the hills.
Time for games!
I tried to beat Chris but it didn't happen
Didn't matter how much he threw up on me - I still showered him with kisses!

We couldn't thank Mom enough for watching all the grandsons so we could have a fun night watching the game in the Bud Box!
Family Fun Night!
Love you guys!
