Christmas at Grandma and Grandpa Anderson's

We celebrated Christmas at my parents' house this past weekend.  It was a lovely time with good food, fun times and family.  My sister and her husband flew in and we had fun seeing them.  Chase and Owen were spoiled, of course, and got tons of great gifts they just love.  It was very cold, like -10 one morning.  Burrrr.  We went to town one day and played in the school gym.  Chase and Owen were so cute running around the big gym floor throwing balls and having the time of their lives.  It was a great way to get rid of extra energy.

Something is going on here . . . why are 2 boys hiding in the kitchen?  I think they don't want Mommy to see them with the suckers. :)
