Christmas and Time with the Maloys


It's been awhile, i don't know if I should start from today or catch up, or start or catch up, start or catch up??

I guess I'll choose middle.  Nov. 7-12 we headed to Utah to be with our Utah family.  We knew that we wouldn't be there or see them for any of the upcoming holidays' so we rented a car and away we went.  Friday we left after my work stopping in Vegas at my cousin Shelley's home to visit and talk with her and Russ, then saturday morning we headed for Payson.

This is about 2 minutes after we arrived.  Grandpa popped the trunk and gifts were everywhere.  We love gifts and Grandkids!
Grandpa brought several art projects with him to teach and play with the girls.  Here he is getting ready with all of the beads that he brought with him so that the girls could make many necklaces and bracelets.  Because of my great blogging skills the picture of them doing an art project is at the bottom of this blog.

                                   Christmas has come early to the Maloy home.
With lots of smiles.
                                                                  and wonder

                                                        and new clothes and toys
                                                               and surprises
                                                            and growing kids.



These are the pictures that I took of them Sunday morning before we left for church.  All cleaned up and smiling for the camera.




We had many great times, and many great meals (and more great meals and many delicious  desserts), they will be missed the rest of this year.
                                    We LOVE you!

We love you guys too. Thanks for not forgetting us. Your visits always leave long lasting impressions on us, especially the kids.

My home is your home anytime you wish to stop in. I know it wasn't much of a vacation (while the kids mauled you for time and attention). We love and miss you guys.

Happy holidays.

Ahh, and I'm such a slacker, I still haven't posted my pics... it was a great visit... and we tried to convince the kids that Christmas was already over but they are not buying it. Thanks again for making the trip up to see us, and driving, and spoiling, and chilling, and artsing and fartsing, and beading, and everything!! We miss you already, and always! - Heidi
