This was our first holiday season in a looooong time that we have Chuck's family living close. We hit up Lee and Aleesha's house for Christmas dinner and fun afterwards. We all did our best at rock band, and of course the kids made some time for Minecraft.
Six cute Izatt kids! Please notice that Bri and Eli consistently look at the camera and smile... so apparently my kids get their inability to do so from my side of the family ;).
Post-Christmas FaceTime with our four favorite Blue cousins! Ahhhh we love them.
Dave and Terri were making the grandkid rounds for Christmas and came up to Nampa after Utah - have I mentioned how thoughtful it is of all us kids to make it this easy on them? Melissa and Amanda literally live around the corner from each other in Kays and Lee and Chuck have ended up about 2 miles apart in Nampa. Pretty funny!
We fit in lots of fun with Grandma and Pops - the new Star Wars movie, puzzles, games, craft projects:
And of course some Nerf battles!
Grandpa took us all to the Warhawk Air Museum - we loved taking a picture of Carma at the little Rosie the Riveter photo op area, then finding second cousin Lexi featured in the accompanying photo book! It was less kid-friendly than I'd hoped, but we found lots of cool army stuff to keep Jack VERY enthralled :).
Grandma and Grandpa came bearing gifts that we were all pretty excited about - legos, baby doll and accessories, and a camp chef to name a few. We wrapped up the family time with New Year's Eve back at Lee and Aleesha's. Grandma made a delicious Nutella pudding treat and we chimed in 8pm (hahahaha) with the Madagascar countdown and a cousin/aunt tower on the love sac. Thanks for coming up Dave and Terri! And thanks for moving here Lee and Aleesha!! We loved getting so much family time for the holidays :).
