This year we decided to drive to Utah to spend Christmas with My sister Codee and her family, as well as my sister Cassidee and also My Dad and Cindy, who drove up from Texas too. It was great to all be back together again.
We drove over night and ended up making it it about 17 and 1/2 hours. It really wasn't bad at all and the kids were great troopers. That is other than Brigham asking "When we gonna be dere?" not five minutes after we left. And of course a restroom break 20 minutes after departure.
But we made it. The first day we just hung out and played in the snow. This was the day that had the least snow. As you will see in coming photos, the snow just kept coming! It was a great white Christmas for us!
Playing out in the snow
Seth was so fantastic as always, playing with the kids and taking them out in the cold. This day the kids were out playing and the neighbor dog decided to come play too. It was awesome. I wish I had a dog like that. He wanted to play so bad. You would throw the snow and he tried to get it every time The kids thought it was pretty cool too. Although, they did get a little annoyed when he/she would leave them alone. Even when they were resting for a break.
The dog in mid air - nice
Burr mom My hands are cold.
Then as we came in for the night we had fun eating and talking and spending time together. Brigham especially became very fond of Jamison and was always concerned with his whereabouts. Jenny loved to play with Nems and Court was a little snuggle bug as well. The kids hit it off pretty well....well mostly.
I wish I could remember what Jamison thought was so funny.
Then it was time for a little pre bedtime dance party. Watch Jay, Jenny and Cort they really have some moves!
Ready for bed
What did you say Papa?
Yeah a boy to play with!
Scripture time.
On Sunday the lot of us managed to make it to church at 830 am, that's a Christmas Miracle. They put on a really nice program with great musical numbers. The Relief society meeting was rather inspiring as well. The rest of the day we were supposed to be watching the Cowboys game, but I guess they don't get it there....so we just hung out, played games and again stuffed our faces.
