Andrew got to lead the pack this year! Pretty exciting.
Andrew tried out Eva's new PJ's.
The highlight of Christmas Day was playing games! Seth got Monopoly from Santa Claus, so the boys (Great-Grandpa Hill, Grandpa Hill, James, Seth, and Andrew) had some bonding time while the girls had some bonding time puzzling over the puzzle.
Aunt Sarah and Aunt Emily working away
Uncle Seth and James
We were lucky to stay at the Boone's for a lot of the time. It was amazing to have them all to ourselves, and not need to share them with the missionaries at the MTC.
Peter and Colleen really hit it off!
So did Andrew and Camilla
A highlight with the Boones was swimming at the Lehi city swimming pool. The Sampsons, McDaniels, Adam, Father and Mother all came.
We were happy to come home to Omaha. We were especially happy that all of our stuff from our 6 month adventure to Idaho fit in, on, and around our car. It's amazing that you really need very little to be happy. It was fun to go through all of our things in the house after arriving home. Being used to such few things in Idaho, it was VERY easy to donate things to Goodwill. We probably took 3 large trips to the thrift store.
Beautiful icicles on our bush
The Aaron and Jenny Hills were visiting in Omaha for the New Years. We had a memorable trip to the zoo on a cold, windy day. The high that day was -2, with a wind chill of -22. Boy, did the Lied Jungle feel good after running frantically from our minivan inside. One evening at the Bylunds (in Omaha), we attempted several times to put Andrew and Spencer to sleep in separate bedrooms. Finally, we all gave up, and just left the boys downstairs by themselves in the same bed. We went upstairs to play games. We heard laughter every once in awhile. But then it was silent! We went downstairs to find both boys asleep together. How cute!

Fun post! Thank you so much for the pictures! :) It was cute to see the little boys sleeping in that last one. And having left most of my stuff in storage for 8 months, I can relate to not needing it again when you see it. I'm still impressed that you fit everything so compactly to take it back home! :)
