We went to St. Louis along with Justin, Amy, Jed and Bretta in November for Oliver's blessing and Thanksgiving and took a trip up to Nauvoo. It was beautiful weather but rather blustery in this photo. It just nearly blew Larid's hair away. We had 50-60 degree temps there and at home there was a 3 day blizzard. Didn't miss that.

We had an evening of making "mice" from stemmed cherries, Hershey Kisses, Oreos, slivered almonds and a little chocolate. You can't make just one, you know, as Aubree and Emalee prove.

This is how many people came to our Christmas Brunch. Then there were all the little people without shoes on. Love, love, love it.

Here is our brunch group hoping everyone had a very Merry Christmas.

And finally, Jaren on his backhoe that Grandpa Robinson made for him for Christmas. His first comment was, "Can I take it home?" I think the smile says it all.
