more christmas eve

somehow i must have deleted most of my christmas eve pictures.  i know i took more that 4 at each grandparents house:(  after we finish at the lowry's we head to grandpa and grandma williamson's.  we opened up christmas eve pajamas, had grandpa and carson put on a christmas eve devotional for us, and sent our sweet little children to bed.

poor morgan had been struggling for the last few days with a infected and plugged ear:(  


coop helping grandpa get the nativity show ready for us.



 a bad picture of my girls and their jammies.


leilani and leonie.  leonie is a foreign exchange student from germany who is living with brian and leilani this year.  we truly enjoyed getting to know this sweet girl:)  hopefully we will see her again sometime.


maybe one of my new years resolutions should be to not erase pictures from important family holidays and events.  cannot believe i don't have a picture of my boys in new pajamas:(

a little road trip

a few days after christmas, we decided we should get all of us out of the house.  it was freezing outside, but we decided to drive over to elk refuge in jackson, show leonie the tetons, and then take all of the wild children swimming at the rec center.  we stood outside for some pictures on this beautiful day, but we were freezing to death.  it was some number below zero degrees outside, and we were incredibly grateful to climb back in our warm cars.

 morgan, rachel, and leonie



 these two little stinkers would not pose for a picture for anything.  it was really bright outside and they didn't even want to look our direction.


my crazy dad without a coat.  he just kept saying...its perfect out here.
  

 most of the lorenc's


 it was a perfect day to see these mountains.


leonie, brian, and leilani





 grandpa and emmy checking out the mountains


 these are a few of his favorite things:)



after our photo shoot, we ate lunch in the cars and headed back to the swimming pool.  i didn't take my camera out at the pool, but i wish i would have gotten a picture of all the grandkids coming off of that water slide. they were having a blast.  coop was scared for a bit, but after we got him up there once, he didn't want to stop the rest of the time we were swimming:)
