Rexburg Winter Getaway

We flew to Rexburg the day after Christmas and loved every minute of it! All of Jake's family was there so it was definitely a house full (LOTS of kids) but so fun to all be together again. Lexie was in heaven being with so many kids all the time. We stayed for 10 days (well 11 since they cancelled our flight so that gave us an extra day) and everyone else was just there for the weekend of Christmas. We tried to fit in as many fun things as we could do into the days we were there.

The first real day we were there we all went sledding! We found the perfect hill and it was a bright sunny day (don't let the sun fool you.. it was still freezing)
 



Lexie was pretty confused at what all the white stuff was but that didn't stop her from touching it! We actually kept her inside most of the week because she had just gotten over a bad cold and I would hate for her to get it again while on vacation. 



We were there for New Years Eve and we got together with a bunch of friends and brought in the new year! Lexie didn't make it to midnight this year.


 One of the days we were there we went to a place called I Jump with some of our best friends Caleb and Kelsi. It was so fun! Jake and Caleb were playing dodge ball almost the whole time against some 8 year olds...it was pretty entertaining.

 One night we went snowmobiling with our friends Ace and Vanessa in the dark! I was scared the whole time.. you literally couldn't see anything and we had one little head light! But it was actually super fun and Jake was a good driver (besides the two times we fell off).


The whole Fullmer Family! (minus 5 or so people). It was such a fun week and we always love going back. So much that it makes me want to live there sometimes... but then I go outside in the snow and that idea goes away quickly :)

Christmas

The older Lexie gets the more fun every holiday becomes! This Christmas was so fun! She still didn't quite understand what was going on, but she loved all the family time and new toys so she was a happy (and pretty spoiled) girl. We spent Christmas here in Arizona and my family's normal traditional events. We had our Christmas Eve Fiesta complete with Mexican Food, a pinata, reenactment of the nativity, and Mrs. Clause Pajamas and a dance party.





We spent Christmas morning at our own house and I loved it just being our little family! Lexie was up pretty early.. She must have known it was Christmas ;)We got her a little tikes car and she is still obsessed with it to this day. She got some fun things from her grandmas and grandpas and a couple of other little things. Jake definitely spoiled me this year (he is the best gift giver) and he pretty much returned everything I got him! haha men are SO hard to shop for!! (especially picky men)







We made a yummy breakfast then headed over to my parents house and had a relaxing day of just hanging out and playing some fun card games. Loved our warm Arizona Christmas :)
