Ralph left in the middle of February to take a job over seas. He ended up coming back for three weeks, was able to be here for Hannah's birthday, which he missed her day she was born, her first birthday, and her third birthday, so he was really happy to be here for her 4th. He left again, leaving the country on April 1st. We are trying to continue one, having a little fun each day so we can send him pictures.

January

Finally, enough snow to play in!

Slurpee. Imagine what her insides look like...

The Rest Of The Year

We love to got to the Draper City Library. Hannah loves looking at books here.

New mats by the door makes a good place to lay down.

Don't you do pushups on Thanksgiving? We do.

Christmas Picture. Thanks to my brother!

Just some cute kids. Amber's hair is the longest it has ever been.

One tradition we have is to fill the tree with treats. Every day we take a bag off and open it to count down to Christmas Day.

Hannah's first french braids.

Super Cool Baby.

Inspecting the caterpillar roll on our big night out in Park City. Super yummy food.

Mommy, daughter, aunt, cousin night out at the Nutcracker. 

Super-Bruce!

The girls after their dance performance. We got into the car and Hannah's tights were perfect. We got out at the performance place and there was a huge hole! They did great!

Bruce found the favorite hiding place. We leave it empty for kids to hide in.

Bruce fell into the bucket, Amber and Hannah covered him up. Ralph had to come rescue him.

Santa at the Grande America in Salt Lake City, the Monday before Christmas.

A frequent occurrence in our house these days. Everyone snuggled up to watch super hero cartoons.

Ready for the Hinkson family Christmas party!

The kids table. There were nine kids, four were one year old.

Playing tug a war with a blanket. Super fun! Big kids soon jumped in to help.

Christmas Eve! Brunch at the Eating Establishment with all of the Merrills.

Then a visit to Great Grandma.

We wore Hannah out. She slept through the Christmas Eve program. 

Christmas Morning, all ready to go see their presents. Mean parents made the kids bath before opening their presents. We were ready for Church right after.

The stockings too big for the chimney with care.

Grandma Merrill came over for dinner!

My first Christmas Dinner, turkey roast, potatoes, beans. Pretty easy, but super fun!

And, favorite Aunt Karen!

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
