Christmas and Yellowstone

Last year I made these just like the rocky mountain chocolate factory sells (caramel, then white chocolate, then toppings like nuts, toffee, chocolate chips) and I had so much fun making these fancy caramel apples I just had to take a picture!
We are so excited to go use our saucer sleds!
Christmas Eve was fun with Grandpa and Grandma Penfold reading the Polar Express, we acted out the nativity and opened the cutest PJ's and then exchanged the siblings gifts.
Here we are in West Yellowstone. We went right before Christmas because the children were out of school for two weeks and we needed to go do some family things with them. We are trying to make memories because that's what they'll remember later, the happy family times! We left Sunday night and got back Christmas Eve in the afternoon. We swam in the very nice indoor pool two times each day (yes our skin was DRY, but it was so much fun), played in the snow, snowmachined, went to the IMAX and saw a Lewis and Clark movie, saw animals at the Bear and Wolf Discovery center, watched movies and played games in the condo. It was super relaxing and we really had a "vacation."

Sounds so fun, I bet that is great watching your children perform the piano, and who is the girl standing next to Brittany in the last photo?
