Christmas 2011 was a great one. The kids got to celebrate 'early Christmas' with Amy, who was able to come to Cedar City to visit. Then, we went to Salt Lake to celebrate the holidays with grandmas, grandpas, cousins, and more!

One of Marina's new favorite things to do is borrow the camera to take her own pictures of events. Here are some of her photos.

Chritmas morning was a lot of fun. I snapped this photo as soon as Lincoln had sat down with his presents (his presents included this bike). In this photo, he had not yet noticed the bike he had to walk around in order to get his stocking. We had to point the bike out to get him to notice it. Alas, I did not get a photo of that moment.

The kids also spent time with their cousins Will and Petra. Marina and Petra play so cute together!

Lincoln and Marina LOVE spending time with all their cousins. The rest of the photos are of fun with their cousins.

We have a couple of pieces of big news. Lincoln was cast in a children's production of Peter Pan. He is Nibs, one of the Lost Boys. The performances will be then end of March, and he will be busy with rehearsals until then. Check back here for photos and video as it comes together.
We also have bought a new house. It is in the same neighborhood, so the kids won't have to change schools. We will be moving in the next couple of weeks, and I will post photos of the new house as soon as we are settled, or at least somewhat settled.
