Fun at home with the cousins

Chandra, Chad and their kids Max, Emma, and C.J. came over for a visit. Unfortunately Colton and Cooper could not join their siblings for this visit.
Julien and Xavier had a great time playing with their cousins. It sure is nice living close to family.

The Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island

Thierry took his family to the Great Salt Lake and Antelope Island so they could see the beautiful scenery and some buffalo up close. They loved it, especially the sunset.

Christmas 2011

We went really overboard on presents for Christmas this year. Our kids are so spoiled now. Xavier's favorite present was his Nintendo Dsi and Julien's favorite gift was between his race track and his Leapster Explorer. Aurelie got a toy phone that she loves as well as a Dora doll and lots of clothes. Thierry got a ladder and I got my camera.
We were really happy to spend this Christmas with Thierry's family as well as my Mom who lives with us in a basement apartment. It was great having so much family around.
We also had Christmas dinner at our house this year and Chandra and Chad and their kids as well as Jill and Brock and their kids came over for dinner. Talk about a full house. We had 9 kids there including: Max, Emma, C.J., Reagan, Eli, Whitney, Xavier, Julien, and Aurelie. Luckily there were 10 adults there as well to take care of them.
We had turkey and stuffing, mashed potatoes, vegetables, ham, and 3 pies. Really yummy.

December Pictures

Here are some pictures from my new camera that I got for Christmas. It has much better clarity than the old camera. I love it.
Hope you enjoy.
Thierry's sister Isabelle and his parents came to visit us from France and we took them to Park City. That was a lot of fun. It was nice having them come for a visit. We didn't get to take them to any National Parks on this visit though. Hopefully they will come to Utah again soon and we can show them some of the amazing National Parks the U.S.A. has to offer.
