Cousins Christmas 2012

 We got the call after swimming that Twin Lakes was up and running. There was no damage to any of the cabins or places we use, except one cabin that was recently vacant for us - the family that was taking it was planning to camp, so they went back to camping.
Instead of rushing and trying to get to Twin Lakes before dark and not missing the last ferry - yes there's the awesome ferry ride in order to cross the Spokane River at one point. It only runs certain hours of the day. So we opted for Cousins Christmas since all the cousins 18 and under were at Grandma's already. We played the M&M game til Rozann came back with her kids, then it was party present time!
Aubrey and our newest little addition Riley - born in April to my nephew Derick and his wife Kayla
Dallin is too old for the game and decided to play by his own rules of 'get my own cup full of m&m's and eat them.' Mo was a big fan of this game - forget sharing with all those other kids, Dallin will share with me. Busted!
Mo got some sand toys which we use year round here
Lucas got a vintage 35mm camera, which broke after the first picture and he was heart broken. I tried to explain that not many places if any take the 35 mm film anymore and you can't see the picture on the camera after it's taken.......luckily he got a pair of binoculars too to go bird-watching.
Abbey got that cute blue backpack in front of her and some other things along with a giant chapstick....who doesn't love GIANT chapstick??
it goes on so easy.....
We gave to Aubrey the die-hard BYU fan and gave her custom made BYU smash-journals.
Mo stole someone's headbands - pretty.
Lea got the pillow she's holding - Rozann made it for her and she loves it! She was worried Lea would hate it. They gave their daughter Ashley a new pillow (plain white, in the package) as a present to which the response came 'that's it? a pillow?' It was quite funny as they had intended it to be. She was getting new bedding and anyway.....
Dallin soon became the horse and almost lost his face.
Merry Christmas - happy day! We're heading out tomorrow (from this picture) and someday I'll actually get caught up to current events on this blog and not 6 months ago - I'm only 2 months behind - no biggie.
