Grandma Life

 I do have to say that this past 2018 was a GREAT YEAR full of LOVE and grandbabies.

 I have absolutely LOVED having my arms full and being a grandma!!

The smile on my face will never be wiped off as long as I am a grandma!!!

Horlacher Great Grandparents

 Generations are incredible!

Here we have Great Grandma & Great Grandpa Horlacher with their

Granddaughter Cambria & Cecilee's babies.

So we could take a 4 generation picture!!

We have bookend generations right here!

 Great Grandpa Horlacher was asked to play Santa for his ward party at the Meadows.

So Mom and I had the idea to bring the kids to the Meadows so after the party we could get a few pictures with Grandpa as Santa with the Great grandbabies.

He made such a great Santa and the memories will last forever.

Our Nativity

Christmas Day with the AhQuin Family

 We love getting together with my siblings and cousins.

We were missing Trevor and Kylee-they were with the Martin Family.

My siblings and mom got these sweatshirts of our Red Station wagon and it says,

"Those were the Dayz" 

 We were definitely missing our baby (Tia and family) who now lives in Orem.

 The Whole Clan together for a group picture

 All of the cousins with Grandma AhQuin

 Our cute baby hungry nieces all taking turns with the 3 babies!!

Christmas Morning

Christmas morning!!!

Here is my traditional picture in front of the tree in pj's.

I just smile at this picture because my picture through the years has grown.

My 4 children now have spouses and kids!

This is the greatest picture and my true Christmas gift!!!

 Mia LOVED her Santa Gift!!

She kept jumping and jumping!!

 Our kids surprised me with a triple bunk bed for my grandkids playroom.

And they transformed the bonus room to a theater room for Bryan.

Hot tubing Tradition-Christmas Eve

 As our children started getting older we were trying to think of other traditions that we could do with them to bring us together. So we started hot tubing about 6 years ago. 

Yes the air is 35 degrees but the hot tub is 101. 

So we just sit and enjoy each other and tell funny stories while the firepit has a fire.

This year we were serenaded by Jeff on his guitar,

while the babies all slept inside.  

 We then all came in and got our jammies on and prepared for Santa's arrival.

Christmas Eve traditions

We had Christmas Eve dinner then afterward we had the opening of our

PJ's and played games. One of the games was Bean Boozled and Charades.

During Bean Boozled Mia ate: Dog Food, Dead Fish and Curdled Milk Jelly Beans.

She never batted an eye, she just thought they were jelly beans with a different flavor.

We never knew if it was a bad one until Kylee smelled her breath and she replied,

"It was a bad one, that's so bad!!"

 We then tried to get some pictures of the Grandbabies having their first Christmas.

They will bring the magic back to Christmas next year.

Mia brought it this year, but I can't wait to see all 4 of them full of excitement!!!
