We hope that everyone's Christmas has been good. I love this time of year and the special spirit that is in the air...
We had a fun Christmas. We went up to Cedar to spend time with Darren's parents for Christmas eve and spent the night. On Christmas morning, McKell slept in until 9:30! It was kinda hard waiting that long to open presents...We got all ready and had breakfast. Grandpa Baldwin got out of the hospital Christmas morning, so Lloyd went and kidnapped him and brought him back to the house. He watched McKell open presents and he opened a few. It was fun having a grandpa and a great grandpa there for Christmas morning! Later that day we went down to see my family in St. George. Brooke and Chris were visiting from New Mexico, so it has been so good to see them. We had a good time at both grandparent's and I think that we need a bigger house now to hold all of the toys..
We went four-wheeling the day after Christmas with Brooke, Chris & Rich. We had a good time together. Later that night we boxed each other on the Wii. Darren knocked me out within the first minute!

This is the present that Darren chose to open Christmas eve( as it is tradition)Darren wanted a 0 degree sleeping bag- he is in scouts now and is going to go on the klondike next year...(no thanks) he is looking forward to sleeping in the snow with the young men!? Darren wanted to sleep out in the snow at his parent's house on Christmas eve to see if his sleeping bag would keep him warm, but I told him that I wanted him with me for Christmas eve..haha!

The Nativity scene at the Kenney's...None of the little girls wanted to be baby Jesus....Our little nieces and nephews are the cutest!

After a long day of unwrapping presents, she was still ready to ride her four-wheeler! We are training her young to love the outdoors...

A new rocking chair! McKell loved it! She kept rocking on it and then she would climb up on it and stand backwards in it. She is fearless... She loved her little baby doll. it has a little binkie . She would suck on the binkie and then laugh...

I haven't been on for awhile...here is McKell after she got her shots early this month, she did pretty good. She cried until she got a sucker, and then she was so happy. She was trying to feed me her sucker. She kept sticking it in my face...haha!

Here is Darren the morning after Halloween. He and a friend in our ward went out to the Sand Hollow which is 5 minutes away from our house. They got up at 5:30 and wanted to go ride. Yikes!
