The only explaination this picture needs is....Hulses Rock! This was a very fun package for us from wonderful friends we wish we could see!Below is our Christmas eve puppet Christmas story. The kids love to act it out and Vilate really got into it!
And of course we had our other Navitity. Here is our group shot.
Mason and Vilate were Joseph and Mary. It was so cute. Joseph and Ammon were the Sheperds, James was the angel and I was the Wiseman. Oh, and Dana the narrator.
After Christmas we went to Vegas to see my parents speak before they left on their Mission to Australia. They both did a wonderful job. 
It was fun to be there and the kids expecially had fun playing with cousins. My mom wanted to take pictures of the cousins in groups of the same age. So here are some cousin pictures.
This is Sammy, Devin, and Joseph 
Charly, Taryn, Spencer, and Ammon
Shaylee, Meredith, Turner, and Mason
James, Elle, and Kellen
Addison, Alexia, Vilate, Tate, and Emmalee
We also drove to Colorado! We had a great time visiting with Dana's Parents, and Jason and Andrea and their kids, and Darin and Pinchas. On New Year's Day we went to the Denver Zoo. My brother Dave and his wife Lisel and their kids came too. They live in Colorado Springs and we were glad to see them since they did not come to Vegas.
Below is Carsten, Mason, Porter, and part of Issac
There is an elepahant somewhere in there.
Grandma Carwin giving Vilate a wagon ride! 
Vilate and Laura, are we supposed to be friends?
Ok!
After Christmas we did get some snow. Ammon built almost an entire snowman himself! I think he stopped rolling when the snowballs got too heavy. Dana and I were watching from the window, he tried to push this one for about five minutes, before he gave up and started another snowball. We were cracking up!
Joseph did a report on Knights and wanted to build a castle for his project. Ta da!
