Rexburg and Baby Ethan!

The day had arrived. We were making the trek back up to Rexburg. After the trip I remember why. Zach’s buried bike is a great reminder.

However, the view of R mountain from the top of the hill was a great reminder of what a wonderful place it is.
Photobucket
Second reminder was of course our gorgeous nephew Ethan!

Karl was super excited to feed him a bottle!
Photobucket
Not super exciting: the fact that people were farting in small rooms all weekend.
Photobucket
It takes a village to rasise a child. Or at least when we all want to meet him and hold him too so:
I got to feed him too!!!
Photobucket
Malia burped him.
Photobucket
Grandpa kissed him!!
Photobucket
The winning shot!

The next morning we all went out to breakfast at this new place called:

It was really fun to be together again. Zach and Danielle, while Ethan slept in his carrier.

Mom crocheting and dad making us all laugh.

When breakfast was over we walked to this place called Porters and did a bunch of Christmas shopping.
Photobucket
Rexburg is a small town, so there are some really interesting methods of street crossing. We all pick up a flag…
Photobucket
and RAN!!!
Photobucket
After shopping we walked around the Rexburg temple.

That night we headed over to:
Photobucket
There was tons of snow but it wasn’t too cold.
Photobucket
There were dancing Tae Kwon Do dancers dancing right in the snow!
Photobucket
To be able to take part in the event we all had to bring a toy to donate.
Photobucket
Into the chili tent.
Photobucket
To the huge vat of chili.
Photobucket
It wasn’t very good, still it was really fun to eat it in a make-shift tent with my family.
Photobucket
Karl wouldn’t eat any chili, so he just had cheese and corn bread.
Photobucket

Next we all jumped on the sleigh ride.
Photobucket
We sang carols and made jokes.
Photobucket
Karl and I with the horses.
Photobucket
GABI!!
Photobucket
Mom and Dad showed up just in time to take a picture with Santa.
Photobucket
Malia has the picture so I don’t have it yet, but this is Gabi getting a candy cane from Santa.
Photobucket
One more cup of hot coco.
Photobucket
Then back inside to be with the cutest little baby ever!

Ethan and I just hung out for a while.
Photobucket
Grandma was in love!
Photobucket
We all stayed up late talking and watching Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.
PS: THE TRIP HOME
The weather was terrible. The roads were even worse:
Photobucket
Poor Maila slid off the road.
Photobucket
We were stopped on the side of the road to try and help, next to this sign. Good thing it was an emergency.
Photobucket
It was so windy and snowy, check out Karl’s hair once it got back into the car.
Photobucket
Finally some good conditions!
Photobucket
FINALLY OUT OF IDAHO!
Photobucket
I don’t know if I will ever return to Idaho again.
