We made the trek from Cali to Utah again this Christmas. We started our vacation out with the annual Helm Family Christmas Party. It's always so much fun!!
Lauren was excited to sit on Santa's lap
Maddie was also happy to sit on Santa's lap
Parker wasn't happy to sit on Santa's lap. His words,
"I don't like that fat man with the white beard!"
We got to met the future Mr. Jill Allred
Tyler is a great guy. We love him!!
Lauren won the limbo contest.
Look at her bend backwards....TALENT!
Musical chairs started and.....
Maddie was the winner!!
Parker and Jeff were the winners of the dance off
Look at those moves :)
We spent Christmas Eve at Grandma Farrell's house
The girls got travel cases for their American Girl Dolls
Parker got a Big Buzz. This made him happy because
it will go well with his Big Woody
Christmas morning was spent at Grandma Georgia's
and Grandpa Karl's house
The kids waiting so patiently to open their stockings
Grandma, Grandpa, and the gang
They are a HAPPY bunch!
My cute family all dressed in their pajamas
These girls are my favorite presents!
Love his boy!
Our little fashionista
Our animal lover
A laser remote control car. The car follows a
laser - Great invention!!
I gave Jeff a new wedding ring.
His old one was....OLD!
Luckily for us we got Grandpa Homer with us
on Christmas morning. It was so nice having
him but oh how we so badly missed
Grandma Merla!! She loved Christmas.
Yea!! Armoires for their American Girl doll stuff-
They have a lot of it and how it can be contained.
I love organization and clean rooms!!
Lauren, Isaac, Maddie, Connor, Tyler
Rachel, Ian, Max, Parker, Zac
There wasn't much snow but the kids were
determined to play in it
Maddie climbed on the rocks
Parker made snow angles
Lauren posed for the camera
It's also tradition to go bowling. I got a new
camera and hadn't figured out how to use it.
Thus we have crappy, blurry pictures
Pro-bowler Maddie
Cheesy Parker
Determined Lauren
We stopped by the Red Zone Ute store and got new
shirts for the kids and then headed to Grandma's
to make gingerbread houses
Pedicures are also a Utah must do.
Maddie was in heaven having her toes done
and reading her book. Such a book worm!
Lauren just sat back and enjoyed being pampered
I love this picture of my kids in Grandma's front
bedroom. I spent hours in this same room
and have great memories!!
We went out to dinner on New Year's Eve and it took
FOREVER for our food to come. The kids got
bored so Lauren got creative and entertained us all
We headed back to Grandma Farrell's for a night
filled with games and electronics
Sadly, our trip came to an end and we left our
Grandparent's all tuckered out. Thanks
for the fun....ENJOY YOUR NAP!
