CHRISTMAS VACATION 2010

SPENDING CHRISTMAS WITH THE HOOPER'S

We were so lucky to be able to meet our family at this great cabin up American Fork Canyon. It's this place called Mutual Dell that you can rent out and bring a whole slew of people. If you haven't done this you need to. The kids had a fabulous time. They were able to sled all day and be with their cousins. What more could you want, right? There was a piano and a kitchen, a huge mess hall area and tonz of couches that were purchased in the early 1900's I think. It was actually very relaxing and low key. It was great to be with my grandparents who we don't get to be with that often. It was also great to see our cousins, especially our cousin Lee who we see very rarely because he's been on active duty for the last 4 years. I wish all of us could have been together. It seems like once the families get so big it's almost an impossible task. I'm so glad for this picture of all of us as I know my dad was also. These are all the people who mean the world to him minus my mom. And getting her to be in a picture is like pulling teeth. Thanks mom for all of the energy put in to this day. Heaven knows it was a chore to get there. Hee Hee-that's between you and me:)This isn't even half of the crew. It's too bad we couldn't all take this photo together.
The great-grand kids with their grandparents

All of the silly little girls posing, the boys totally not posing and how funny is Collin with his crossed legs deep in to his book Aunt Kathy gave him? Funny!

Mostly eating-what we all seem to do best!

Just Chillin-literally!

Can you tell these certain pictures were taken with a better camera?

Thanks Nicole for letting me use these.
