Erica's 1st Birthday
Erica had her first birthday this month. We kept it very simple with only a few decorations and homemade birthday cake. We invited Jared and Michelle and their family over for pizza and cake. Also a neighbor friend also joined us, Amber. We ate and blew out candles and had a great time. We did not get any presents for her, already too many gifts from Christmas. Her greatest gift was her very first tooth that came in just before her birthday and also gifts from the two Grandmas.

CHRISTMAS VACATION
This year for Christmas, we went back home to Southern Utah. We had lots of family there at first with Jared and Michelle, Julie and Leif, us, Mom and Dad, and Charles and Stephanie. It was crazy and very loud but lots of fun.
McKay and Chase had fun playing with Grandma's toys.
The popular spot of the house.
The next popular spot of the house. We really enjoyed Mom's cooking.
We took the younger kids to a chicken and pig farm in Hurricane.
Chase, McKay, and McKay's cousin Ronnie went in search for chicken eggs but could not find any.

After the chickens, we went with a lady who owns the farm and Kory's Dad to feed some pigs. It was quite an experience. The pigs were super hungry and greedy and loud. I think the kids had a good time but when the lady who owns the farm asked McKay if he wanted to be a farmer when he grows up, he right away said "NO." Chase liked trying to pet the pigs.
The pigs happily eating their food.
Erica had a hard time on this trip. She cried a lot and had a hard time taking her naps which added to the problem. She did make new discoveries though in regards to finding new spots to climb and crawl into. She finally learned to crawl down the stairs by herself on Grandpa and Grandma's stairs.
Christmas time.
McKay and Erica got lots a fun toys this year. Erica liked climbing the boxes more than playing with the toys.
What a mess.
I think Dad and Mom had a good Christmas also.
After opening presents at Mom and Dad's, we headed over to Kory's parents' home and opened even more gifts. Good thing we brought our truck down to carry all the presents back.
Erica liked the ear muffs probably the best.
Opening gifts and visiting with family.
Erica really liked playing the piano.
We had a lot of fun heading back home and stayed for Christmas and New Years. We visited with lots of family and friends. As we headed back home we stopped and stayed with some old friend's from Boise who now live in Highland.
McKay had a great time playing with his friend Tori.
We got home and took the decorations down and started getting back to normal life then it started to snow. It was great. Many inches fell over a couple of days and we enjoyed it a lot. Here is McKay out in our front yard.
We built a snowman and went sledding at the park across the street.
