Happenings of January
Granny and Pa took all the little boys out to a movie. It was fun seeing all the boys trading seats throughout the movie and sharing popcorn and licorice. It sure is fun taking all the boys out all at once. Even when there is 5 adults and only 5 little boys it sure causes a lot of chaos. They always have so much fun together.

We went to visit Shane and Ellen in Rexburg to go snow-shoeing. We love being out doors and doing whatever there is to do.

Ellen got a little thirsty.

Ben loves snow-shoeing and being outdoors.

I walk out of the room for one minute and this is what I come back to. I put the popcorn on the table where I thought Ben couldn't reach it. Apparently, Ben can climb onto the chair and onto the table and back down in less then a minute. Hank was in the other room, so I know that he could not have helped him.

Popcorn all over, Ben sticking his head into the bowl, trying to lick the butter on the bottom. He was smiling so big loving every minute of his mess.

Jen (Ben's favorite Christiansen Aunt named Jen) puts fun designs on shirts turning them from boring and plain to jazzy and fun. This is one of them. This is just a tribute to Jen. She does great work.
Kyle got to go count rabbits with Cory, who is the Fish and Game Cop here in Preston. He loves doing ride-a-longs and doing anything outside.
Beautiful view
Ben got a trike for Christmas. What a great present. There is a bell on it that he loves to try and ring. He has a ball on that trike.
One day soon he will be able to reach those peddles.
Ben's first real haircut. It was long and I really did not want to cut it, but it looks so cute short. Why is it that every time you cut little boys hair, they look like they grow up so much?

He did really good. He sat there like a big boy and hardly wiggled. What a great boy!
Except for this one. Maybe he didn't like his haircut so much towards the end...
