Christmas at home with Holly and the boys

Holly and the boys came home for a week at Christmas. We had so much fun with the little boys. Dayton kept asking me on the phone how much snow I had at my house. He wanted lots of snow when he came to Grandma's. I would tell him and he would giggle. Next phone call same thing. Next phone call when he asked me I told him I had enough snow to bury him in. He got very quiet. When he got here he looked up at me and asked me if I was really going to bury him. I had a good laugh!
Dayton soon declared that it was awesome being at grandma's because this was his 4th Christmas this year!
We spent time sleigh riding, playing in the snow, playing games, building lego's, lots of pictures and even more movies and junk food, especially Christmas slush. About 3 times a day Dawson would come to me and ask me if he could have a "slushlie". I'm hoping by age 10 he can speak correctly.
We rang in the new year at 10:00 p.m and then off to bed for little boys and old folks. Holly looked at me laughing and said, "mom, did I get cheated like that when I was a kid?". I sweetly replied, "absolutely!"
The "blurr" picture is Dawson. He would go to the top of the stairs, stretch his arms out above his head and fly down the stairs on his stomach. It was hilarious!
The final picture is for mom and Ciana. They wanted to see my saphire and diamond necklace santa brought me. I love Santa!
After days of snow I took my camera out back and took this picture of my beautiful pine trees with all the snow on them. I told Grandpa he should paint them and he told me too. What's up with that? I am trying to focus him on something besides cows!!!

It is so good to see all of this happening in your family. The good times are very evident. I miss the little ones too....

Now about Cows....
You know that anyone who wants one of my paintings merely has to come to St George and pick whatever and how many they want and take them off the wall. Louise Beardon took the one of the Hereford cows and the windmill over all the others. I know that you probably wanted that picture but you should have taken it when you had the chance!
I only have one cow picture left. I am placing it on my Blog... I am sure it won't last long so if you really want it speak up rapidly.....
Love you all
