Zhu zhus and boots

As if our Christmas celebration wasn't fun enough, my family loaded up and made the trek to MT!  We were so excited that they could come!

We missed them over Thanksgiving because of a snowstorm in ND, and so we were very lucky they came to visit!  With Laura heading off to Ireland {she's made it safe and sound and loves it!} it was so much fun to get in some sister time and spend time with my mom and dad too!

This year my mama gifted us these matching jammies :)  Laura gave the littles adorable fleece jammies too!  {the missing branches on my tree were perfect for this photo op though!}  That is a lot of girls!!!

These 3 had so much fun playing and horsing around!  It is so much fun to watch them play together, as I remember very fondly my time with my sisters and cousins.  The favorite toys of the visit had to be the zhu zhu pets.  Have you seen them?  They're a little freaky, but the girls LOVE them and love chasing them around.  Our cats will get a little annoyed and tip them over, and Leroy is just plain scared of them. That shouldn't surprise anyone though.

My mom and the two young ones.  My mom also gifted us with a wide variety of games!  We are a game loving family :)  We played Scrabble Slam, Trivial Pursuit {sports and leisure?}, Mad Gab, and I think a game called horse races.  Fun!

My mom and dad and their girls!

 Thankfully we had a day without too much wind!  We rigged up some sleds and went on an adventure!

Visited and fed some of our horses too!

Auntie Jenna is so sweet and pulled the girls in the sled!  They had so much fun!

An impromptu picture :)  Because of yucky weather moving across MT and ND, they had to cut their trip short.  While it was a bummer, it was still such a joy to have them here!

{ps thanks mom, for the boots!!}
