Christmas Part 2

After playing at grandma's house for the morning, we freshened up and headed over to Max's "acting" grandma Annette's house for a couple of minutes to see her family for christmas. We then quickley headed over to Max's uncle Jay's house for his family get together. We played with the cousins and opened presents and then had a massive wrapping paper fight. After cleaning up, we had a nice little dinner. We then headed home back to Red Grandma's house.

The next day we got together with a lot of my wilcox cousins. We were there all morning, and in the afternoon, Max, Dad, Austin, Danny, Elizabeth and I headed to the temple to do baptism for Max's and my family. It was wonderful!
A couple days after Christmas we were able to go up to Tacoma to James and Elizabeth's house to stay for a couple days. We went with Dad and Danny and Austin. It was so fun spending Peaceful time with the family.
One of the highlights of our break was redeeming our gift certificate for a couple's massage. All I can say is that it was amazing!
For New Years eve I was able to go snowboarding for my first time ever. I thought I would be cold and miserable but it ended up being so fun. We went with Max's brother and his son and also my little brother Danny came! It was his first time too. I'm bummed I forgot my camera. Danny did awesome. We had so much fun, especially when they started shooting off fireworks over the snowcovered mountain.
On New Year's day we packed up and headed to Madras to visit Max's uncle Jay's property, a summer camp where Max had gone many years, and Jay's madras house. Jay showed us where he is going to build a house in the near future. We got to wrangle some cows which scared me to death. We also met Jay's girl's! (His seven cows that he recently purchased)

That was our fabulous two weeks we were able to spend with family. We had so much fun and we can't wait until next year!
