Off to Castle Dale

On Friday we came home for a quick suitcase reload and then it was off to Castle Dale for the next half of the Holiday's.
But first, as soon as we walked in the house Tianna started to set up the Barbie house. I think Santa did a pretty good job furnishing the ol' abode.

In Castle Dale we had our present exchange with the Peacock side

 Love it! 

New Years Eve.  

When the older girls went to bed (not ready to have them stay up till midnight yet!) the Bingham's went home (they were all fighting the flu) and we had very quiet New Years Eve.

 Just Daddy, Grandma Belinda, Linaya and Me. 

Luckily we all had someone REALLY special to give a NEW YEARS KISS TOO! 

 On New Years Day we  had a good old time watching the kids conquer WII fit games. Then it was sadly time to come home.  The holidays were over and school and work were ready to resume. Boo on that! :)

We didn't get a lot of pictures while we were in Castle Dale. Everyone there was sick so we did a lot of just hanging out.  We enjoyed spending time with them and are glad we could ring in the new year together. 

To all our friends and family:  Thank you for all of the love and support you have shown to our family this year.  We are so blessed.  NOW BRING ON 2013! Woooooooooooooo! 

Day After Christmas

Tried to capture the smiles--- this is as close as we get. She sees the camera and stops smiling 

E V E R Y time! 

 Tianna and Pyper using the "foot spa" that Payton and Rylie got for Christmas

 The PINATA reindeer!

Look! I'm the same size as a Dream Lite :) 

Christmas Mornin' --Scofield Style

It is always so fun to spend Christmas in the mountains in a cabin, (usually) surrounded by snow. It's also exciting to spend it with so many cousins!

This year Santa did not disappoint! He brought the big girls exactly what they wanted! 

BARBIE FURNITURE! Awhile back we were given a huge Barbie house from the ward's nursery but it needed some furnishings. 

 And boy, did they ever get enough! It's all super detailed too! fun :) 

 Linaya also got exactly what she..... um... needed. (Want? I dont know, but needed, yes.) DIAPERS! Woot woot! And a cute Carebear.  Tianna and Adelia also got Christmas dresses that match one Linaya was given when she was born.  And don't forget, the DREAM LIGHTS! they love love love their Dream Lights. Who know putting lights inside a stuffed animal would bring so much joy to children?

 Good morning Grandma Bonnie! Will you snuggle me? 

 And Hello Grandpa Neil! 

 The Hopes' collection

 and Jacomo's loot

 Some very excited girls! 

 Santa knew I needed a new folder for school! -Tianna

 Jacomo LOOOOOOOOOOOOOVED his castle. Never left it's sight all day (week!)

 Linaya was super stoked about her presents! 

 Mmmmmmmm Santa loved his goodies!

 Oh did I mention, I turned 2 months old day before yesterday? Cause.... I totally did! -Linaya

 Linaya gave Daddy a wonderful gift-- snuggles all morning long

 We gave our parents "Mistle Toes" which were Linaya's feet prints. Tianna told them to kiss under it :)

 My gift this year was a surprise from Luke. I was no idea what it was going to be!

A running GPS watch! Awesome! Not sure what happened to Luke's picture of him opening his gift from me... but it was a GPS/walky-talky (Garmin Rhino thing) for hunting. 

 Playing with Jacomo and his castle! 

 When all the family arrived we opened the kids' gifts from Grandpa and Grandma

 And from the cousin present exchange

 Jacomo loved the Batmobile Linaya gave him! 

 Cute Bridger

 Love my girls! 

It was a lovely lovely Christmas!!!
