Cabellas sporting goods store! We took bekah and the grandparents to go check it out and it is cool! A huge aquarium of fish, nearly every type of animal trophy ever made (no elephant or giraffe) and of course lots of cool gadgets! 

We spent an exciting and fun new years eve up in Salt Lake City! Grandma Pyne's sister Cathy came down from Idaho with her family and it was great to get to know Cathy, Dirk and family! 

Just hangin out watching a movie! 

Grandma and Grandpa Pyne came up to visit right after Christmas, bringing Aunt Bekah, and bearing gifts from uncle Ben and aunt Bekah!

Shortly after Christmas we went to a party with a bunch of John's old mission buddies, your looking at the second generation of NYRM! 

Two cute kids in Christmas pajamas on Christmas eve! 

Christmas morning, first thing, we went upstairs and took Grandma her present, then invited her down to watch the kids open their presents. 

Patriot got drums from mom and dad! He woke up at 4:00 in the morning and went to the kitchen to get some juice. Mom was nursing Liberty and heard him quietly exclaim "drums!" then he played for about 30 seconds, got his juice and went back to bed! 

Let's open presents!  

Liberty got a plush chair just like Patriot's from mom and dad. 

Everybody enjoyed Lulu the letter spinning spider! (thanks G-ma and G-pa Pyne!) 

wow, a beautiful new doll, Thanks G-ma and G-pa Aslin! 

Beautiful Liberty enjoying a Christmas breakfast! (anyone would be hungry after opening that many presents!) 

Decked out in all his cowboy gear that he got form G and G Pyne, Patriot is ready to roll on his new bike from G and G Aslin! ( It's not night time, it is early morning!) 

Later partner, this Cowboy's headed to church!
