Frost Family Faces

Ariana is watching Uncle Dustin and Aunt Charity play air hockey...

 As is tradition, we went bowling with the family on New Year's Day!  We weren't the only ones in St. George who had that idea, so when we got there we had to wait for about a half hour.  We played some games while we waited...

 Dustin and Charity playing air hockey...


 Ariana...I don't know what's wrong with her, but somethings buggin' her...

 Elizabeth is just happy!

 Now we're bowling!  And Tanner is playing with Elizabeth!

 Ethan is waiting for his turn...

 And he requested I take a picture of his shoes...

 Ariana is just chillin'

 Ella's just being weird...
 Charles is teaching Ethan how to bowl...

 Pretty Elizabeth...

 Ella and Derek have a front row seat...

 Charles' turn!!

 Gavin, Brandon and Trevor waiting for their turn...

 A built in jungle gym...

 Ethan...Arrrrrrgh!

 Ariana even got some turns!

And Ella's turn.

The kids had a lot of fun bowling!  After we bowled, we went back to Grandma's house, finished packing and left to go home.  The kids slept most of the way and we didn't have to stop once!  We made it back in really good time. 
Another fun weekend at Grandma's house!!

We spent New Year's weekend down in St. George soaking up the warmth and the sun!  It was so fun and relaxing. 

We went to McDonald's for dinner.  That was Grandma Gough's Christmas present to the grandkids...

 Charles is getting some work done on New Year's Eve day...

 At Ethan's request, Grandpa and Uncle Dustin built a fire...

 Enjoying the fire...

 And enjoying more of the fire...

Then Steve, Charity's dad, went and got some fireworks.  About 11:30, they started shooting them off.  Here is Ethan loving his sparkler!


 There's Steve getting the next set ready...

 Aunt Charity is helping Ella put her shoes on...

 Grandpa is handing out pops to Ella and Mya...

 And now they're playing with them!


Waiting for Uncle Dustin to get out some more sparkers.



 Watching the bigger fireworks...

 Dad chillin' in his chair...


 The mommies and babies watching from the front window...

 Holden watching from the window!


Funny side note.  The biggest firework of all was lit, and suddenly started shooting rockets out of the bottom!  It flipped itself over and started firing them off the right direction.   The boys had lit the firwork upside down!

Happy New Year!
 Ringing in the New Year!

 Happy New Year!

 Charles is banging a pan with a play sword!

And a shot of me.  Happy New Year!  Here's to 2013 being a completely awesome year!!

Another Christmas!  I can't believe how fast the time is going.  It feels like a month ago that I was blogging about Christmas 2011.  Crazy!



Yay!  Pajamas!  Mommy Made these!  (Be even more impressed)


Nightgowns and Pajama pants (to wear under their nightgowns...it get's cold here...) for the girls!

And pajama pants for Ethan.  (Elizabeth got new pajamas too, but I wasn't going to attempt to make footie pajamas on my skill level)



The peace of Christmas Eve...


Yay!  Christmas morning! 

Lining up upstairs...

Yup...Santa knows Ella very well...he put a big box of band-aides in her stocking...

And everyone got a new flashlight!

Except Elizabeth, who got a stocking full of baby food!  Yay!

On Christmas Eve, Ethan wrote a letter to Santa...and Santa wrote back!!  Here is Charles reading the letter to the kids...


Elizabeth enjoyed her first piece of candy...Not my idea by the way!  Ariana shared her candy with Elizabeth...


And Santa gave all three kids flashlights!

Santa also brought 3 sleeping bags.  Here is mommy showing the kids what it is...

We had a very fun Christmas!  The kids slept in their sleeping bags that night and loved it!  We also give thanks for our Savior Jesus Christ.  He is the reason for the season!
