Bondage in the bath tub.

The Cousins had there weekly bath together.  There was a shortage of bath toys so things got crazy.

Anyway, overall they had a good time until they had to get rinsed off.

Christmas Part 2 (de boise)

Decorating the tree.  Funny story.  So generally my family waits till
last minute to get a tree.  My dad was dropping off my Grandma
and saw this sign that said free trees.  They were closing down
there tree lot and giving them away, so we got ours for free.

Christmas Part 1 (de Orem)

This  year we came to Christmas in Boise.  We were positive we wouldn't have

enough room to fit the gifts in the car along with Jeffrey's stuff, and Kelsey's new beau.

He is a rather large Englishman. Plus we had our bags.

So we had a pre-Christmas extravaganza in Orem!!!

Before

Jeffrey made out like a bandit. He doubled his wardrobe and library in on fell swoop.  He is most grateful  to all his aunties and uncles for their most generous gifts. 

Jeff talking on the phone with Ann Marie while we opened the Dalton gifts.

OH CHRISTMAS TREE!

REAL TREES RULE!!! SO MINE AND JEFF'S FIRST CHRISTMAS WE HAD TO MESH SOME OF OUR CHRISTMAS TRADITIONS.  YE OLE MCDONALDS DON'T USE BLINKING LIGHTS ON THEIR TREE AND YE OLE MORTENSENS SPORT THE BLINKING LIGHTS.  SO WE HAD A DISCUSSION AKA ARGUMENT AND WE DECIDED WE WOULD SWITCH OFF EVERY OTHER YEAR.  THIS YEAR IS JEFFS YEAR, OUR TREE IS STILL LOVELY NONE THE LESS.

ALTHOUGH WE DISAGREED ON THE LIGHTS WE DEFINATELY AGREED ON THE LIFE OF OUR TREE.  IT SHOULD HAVE A LIFE, FAKE IS NOT FAB. WE LOVE OUR TREE.

AND YES JEFFREY DOES TOUCH IT EVERY CHANCE HE GETS. WE ARE TRYING TO TRAIN HIM NOT TO AND I THINK HE IS GETTING IT. HE IS A SMART LAD.

What is red, panting and fat all over?
