Utah Fun...

On Christmas day, I left for Utah with Brooklyn and Easton. Eric stayed home with the two little boys. I drove all day...we stopped twice...quick stops. I made it to Utah in less then 12 hours...a record! We discovered that McDonald's is the only restaurant open on Christmas Day. The drive was good. Brooklyn and Easton were great.

 

We got there and met the family at Temple Square. It was cold but very pretty. I was surprised how many people were there. It was worth the stop. Very beautiful!

 

As soon as we got to my parents...the kids had to open presents. My mom spent hours making each family a big blanket. I love her blankets. We sleep with them every night. She also made Brooklyn and I matching really soft blankets. Easton was excited about Legos and Brooklyn got stamping craft set.

 

 Rod and Jo came to Utah too, so we wanted to get together and hang out. We met up at Mike's and we headed to his school to play in the gym. It was a lot of fun. We played kickball, basketball, soccer, tag...the cousins just had so much fun playing together. Had a great time.

 

 After spending the day at the gym, we headed to Michael and Jamie's to go sledding. Man was it FUN. The hill was crazy steep and crazy fun. Michael knows how to go extreme sledding. We had a great time. I went down the big hill one time, but since it took me forever to climb back up...that was it. Great day sledding!

 

After a couple of full days of shopping, staying at Alex and Amanda's, girls movie night...We headed to St. George. We spent a couple days swimming, chilling, shopping and having a fun New Years Eve Party, and we saw Frozen with the cousins!

 

New Years Eve Party!

Happy 2014!!!!

 

We drove home on January 2. It was a great trip. I was excited to come home and see my little boys. I missed them. Ryder learned to say "Momma" while I was gone. That made me a little home sick.
