Whitney, Cody, and Tyler came to Park City a couple weeks before Christmas, so we got to hang out with them. Here they are at Whitney's inlaw's condo in Park City.

This is Cody trying out the snow hill he made for the kids to sled down while we were waiting to go real sledding.
And this is Tyler shoving Rivers down the hill on a popped swimming pool.

Another pic of Whit and the kids - they kind of got snowed in at our house for a couple of days (which we were happy about).

Bonnie, my Dad's little sister came with her family to stay in their house in Park City, so we got to spend an evening with them. It was a really great (and delicious) night. We don't get to see them very often. Their house has a bunk room for the kids that we all loved.

Here's the whole Bushnell-Quigley crew that got together that night.

Tyler got to come to Rivers' Christmas program and she got to show him her school room.

This is how we go to church sometimes - pulling D in the little sled. He loves it and grabs snow the whole way and eats it.
This is the best nativity ever - everything is live, including the camel in the background of this picture. You go through a big entrance where everyone is dressed and pretending to speak Hebrew, then you go to a little village where you get hot chocolate and see the camel and then you keep walking along a trail to the stable scene complete with all the animals and a real baby (luckily they had heat lamps because it was FREEZING this night).
We braved the roads and weather and drove to Oregon for Christmas. We finally made it there on Christmas Eve. We didn't think we were going to make the trip this year, but Rivers was so nice in her incessant pleading to go to Oregon for Christmas that Carlos was able to make the trip happen. This is a picture of the road going over the Santiam Pass.

#1 on Rivers Christmas list this year was a robe! Here we are in our matching blue robes on Christmas morning at the Bushnell house.

In front of the mammoth christmas tree we searched forever for on our friend's mountain.

Tyler always gets turned into the playground. Here he is with 4 kids on him.

Rivers and Madison spent hours out in the barn in the loft at my Mom's house. Here they are with make shift lassos. It's funny to secretly listen to them when they are pretending. They have some good imaginations.

At Whitney's house on New Year's - Rivers turned into a snowman when we turned the jets on with bubble bath.

Rivers got to try out her new bike (my old banana seat bike from when I was her age, nicely refurbished by Tanner) while I ran around sugarhouse park on a very chilly day.

Needless to say, we were the only ones at the park this day.

wearing Carlos' boots. Pretty funny watching him try to walk around the house in these.


Rivers looking like quite the Diva after a friend's birthday party that included make-overs at a beauty school. You can't see in these pictures how much glitter she has in her hair, but it's been weeks and I'm still finding it places.
C.Dizzle has some moves!
