Christmas in Richfield

Over the next few days we furiously worked on LittleVMen stuff, trying to get everything done so we could go to Richfield for Christmas. We had a Zulily PO of almost 1700 items that we had to complete before we left. (I pulled some VERY late nights:))

The kids sort of got neglected.

But we left for Richfield around 4:00 am Christmas Eve and unfortunately had 2 very carsick kids the whole drive. We made probably about 10 stops to clean out Mana and Meilani's sick bowls. I think it was probably due to them waking up too early and then not wanting to eat anything, so with tiredness, windy roads, and an empty stomach it made for a terrible drive (for them) shortly after we got to Richfield Uncle Jake had them all bundled up ready to go out and feed some cows. (I love this picture, not only because the cousins are together but because of Meilani's bun and the hat trying to cover it, and Misi's RKO on Jake:))

We all got spoiled rotten by all of our family, the kids got to spend a lot of time with their cousins.

Mana and Paxton

All of the cousins on the Brown side of the family.

Of course Jake had to join in

Ofeina and Sipola

Pila and Fizunny (the sweetest/ saddest thing....we were at church and Fizunny was sitting right next to Pila. Fizunny looked up at Pila and said "when I look at you, you look like my dad" Pila does look a lot like his brother and I'm sure Fizunny misses his dad so much (he's been in the states for about 1 month or so)

We also got to spend time with Fizunny, who is Pila's brother Pita's son. He's here visiting from Tonga, and he fit right in with the crazy V's from America:)

We were packed in tight on the drive home, luckily our new car has a lot more truck room or we may have had to leave some stuff in Utah. We made it safely back to our warm Arizona with only one major throw up incident:)
