Well we had a great Christmas! We did a lot of driving (4 days), but it was worth it. We spent 3 days in Montana with Chris' sister and family (Rachael, Chad, Marren, and Ellis) as well as Nonna Karren who was also visiting. We played in the snow with the kids, and the big kids (us) went snowboarding. We had a blast. It was FREEZING there. Then we went to Wyoming to see my family for 5 days. We spent every day in the snow with the kids. All my brothers and sisters were there, so it was a full house. We sledded, and snowmobiled, and also got Nixon out on the snowboard a little more. Nixon loved being out in the snow and loved to warm up with hot cocoa. Maddy kind of liked it, I think.

Nixon loved his "Hulk Smash" gloves, but I don't know who loves them more, Nixon or Maddy. She walks around with those things on always smashing them together. It looks hilarious on her tiny body.

Nixon got an easel from Grandpa Pat and Grandma Dee. He loves to paint and has already made a masterpiece as you can see below. It is his self portrait.
