Christmas 2011

We took a drive to Bend this year for Christmas.  Andy & Becky were able to drive over for one night too so we could see them.  In just a month of not seeing them, those boys grew!  Samuel was able to get some Austin time as you can see below.  I think they missed each other.

pony rides are always fun

Reuben had to join in on the fun.

After spending the afternoon at Grandpa & Grandma Franklin's house, we unloaded all our stuff to stay the weekend at my parents house.  A bubble bath always feels so nice after a 5 hour drive!


Austin finally was able to drive the 4 wheeler solo.  He was so proud of himself.

Christmas morning! 

When reading the present labels, you always need a flashlight!

A little silly string fight!

Austin's new "Pendleton" duds.

Taking a little walk.

Austin and Evan

Isaiah's new "tractor"

On our way home the old truck hit 55,555 miles

30 miles from home this is what Evan was doing (yelling) 
He had enough of the truck

I wish everyone a safe and happy New Years!
