Christmas

Our plan for Christmas this year was to go visit Dave's family in Wyoming. As the day we were supposed to travel got closer the weather forecast got worse and worse. We finally decided the day before we were supposed to leave that we weren't going to risk going on snowy roads. Most of what we would have to travel to get there is highway and several mountain passes that are treacherous in good weather. So we quickly changed plans, went grocery shopping for some holiday meals and made the best of our first Christmas in Price. We were able to connect to Grandma and Grandpa Holzer via Skype so they got to see the kids opening presents. It was a nice Christmas but a little lonely not being around any family. I also didn't get many pictures taken of Christmas morning in all the excitement. Haylie got a Littlest Pet Shop Clubhouse and a Tag Reader from Santa and Zander got a race track for cars and a bus and dump truck that are bigger for pushing around.
Before Haylie even looked at the gifts she had to check to see that Santa ate his cookies and drank the Hot Cocoa.
Haylie and Dad checking out the Tag reader.
A Christmas Explosion!!
We got to have Christmas Morning all over again on the Wednesday after Christmas. This time Santa was wearing Brown and came in a big truck instead of a sleigh. Our gifts from Wyoming arrived!! 5 huge boxes! They sure spoiled us. The main gift for our whole family was a Wii! We have had lots of fun with it already. Thanks again Holzers!


We had the traditional Oberholtzer fondue for Christmas Eve and then decided to enjoy some delicious Chocolate Fondue! Yummy! Notice how clean Zander's face is compared to Haylie's. Just another way they are complete opposites.
