Christmas Part 2

 We finally made it to Utah in our long journey! We made a brief stop at Jake and Camille's house and then to my mom's house for dinner and some Christmas Eve traditions.

 Adalie and Dots! 

 Ry-Ry all ready for bed 

 Christmas Jammies!


 Excited for Santa to come! 

 Checking the stockings. We celebrated early in Ohio, but we told Santa we would be in Utah and he found us! 

 Our babies! 

 Two of  kind (Reid and Damon)

 Kid party on Christmas Day


 The bearded dudes

 We found some time for a little skiing, the girls had a blast! 

 This picture doesn't do it justice, but Nate's beard is covered in icicles 

 The girls!! 

Nate took this panoramic shot while at the top of the mountain

Trying SO hard to stay warm! It was soooo cold!! 

 Saying goodbye to Grandma and Grandpa


 We promised the girls they could ride the Ferris Wheel at Scheels. Dang those promises! We kept true to our word, but it was hard and we did it literally as we were leaving Utah.

 Getting warm in the cabin. The heat wasn't on initially and it took a REALLY long time to heat the house up. 

 We stopped at the cabin on our way east

I went in to check on the kids before I went to bed and found Reid like this. He loves those sisters of his! 

In the morning we found this footprint

 This is Hallie's birth buddy Macy. They were born only about 2 hours apart. Too bad they don't live closer together because they would be such great friends! They hit it off really well this trip!

  We found just enough time to see our Samek cousins. They picked up right where they left off.

 We were able to spend New Years Eve with them. Reid, Ryan, and I fell asleep early which was okay by me.
