I've been meaning to post for over a week, but Karly got sick last Tuesday and is STILL sick and I joined her for about 4 days last week.
Yuck.
She's gone from a fever, to a runny nose (still has that), to runny other places..., to a nasty cough. I hate seeing her sick, but I love how cuddly she's been.
So anyway, that's my excuse for not posting.
We had a terrific Christmas break! We went to Arizona; Nate really missed the snow. In fact, I'm not sure he'll want to be anywhere that doesn't have snow ever again for Christmas. I like snow too, but I kind of liked this:
That's right. I'm picking ORANGES. That was pretty fun.
My mom and I jumped in the pool, but I'm not going to post that. Let's just say you don't want to see me in a suit. Ug. Anyway it was COLD!
Oh, for those who may not know (and those who care), my parents bought a house in Phoenix just before Christmas. And AJ and Josh just moved from Minnesota to Arizona, so they are living in said house for now. Kinda crazy!
It was a fun Christmas to have so much family around. Kinda loud and kinda crazy with 9 kids/toddlers/babies but we still enjoyed the time. We sure missed you Shan and Glenn!
Here are just a few pics of us just being together:
The one above needs explanation. This was Christmas Eve and we were doing a Nativity, so Nat and Chris were dressed for that...maybe four hours before we did it. :) They were sure excited! It was pretty cute.
Probably the funniest event of the whole week was my dad's "illness." We're not really sure why it happened, but for some reason, random body parts would start swelling out of the blue. For example:
Yeah. We called him Bubba Gump all night. So funny.
And of course, Karly was adorable and so fun the whole time. :) This is my favorite picture of the whole week.
(she couldn't understand what we thought was so funny)

Karly is so cute! I can't believe how big she is now! We sure miss having you guys in our ward.
looks like fun! and warmth! so why did your parents buy a house in phoenix? they aren't planning on leaving bismarck, are they?
Thanks for posting some fun pics! I haven't even checked my camera to see what we ended up with. I'm sorry you guys didn't stay the only healthy family. None of us were safe from that weirdo bug, ughh! Thanks for the fun times!

So, since you are faster to post than me (no surprise there), and since you used pictures from my camera, my Christmas post will be a little easier...but maybe not as fun, since I REALLY wanted to use the Shrine of the Holy KarlyBug on mine...! It was a different experience with no snow, I'll give Nate that, but remind him of how UNfun it is to dig out from under a blizzard at subzero plus windchill (what I spent too much of my day doing today, since Tim is too sick to be outside). Okay, I'll quit complaining, and say THANKS again for the memories!!!
So much love,
Yomama
Fun to get a glimpse. We're so sad we missed you guys, we had a fun Christmas too, but it wasn't in warm AZ. Maybe I'll post, maybe we'll go play in the snow we have coming down right now. Hmmm. Love you guys!
