Christmas 

We had a great trip and Christmas in Utah.
Some highlights were:
Shopping at the amazing family friendly outlets with Jake and Tess.
Dan, Jake and Tess spent a day SKIing in REAL MOUNTAINS!
Grandma's cook'n.
Sledding in about 4 inches of snow.
Ice skating
Games with grandma and grandpa...then Kent!
Temple Square LIGHTS and concert to see my cousins Michelin and Allen perform.
Gingerbread Houses
Christmas Eve Dinner and AWESOME night planned by my mom!!!
Christmas Eve Silliness
Christmas Day and seeing so much family!
Abby vomiting...but only Abby hallelujah!

It was a packed week filled with a lot of fun! A trip to always remember. Here are pictures totally out of order.

Gingerbread Houses. Mom did all the prep, she is amazing!
Loved seeing Grandma Claudia and Dave.

She put her half chewed starburst on her house...she doesn't like be photographed:)


Hannah  and Aubree love each other. Aubree loved repeating her name over and over.


Abby was in baby heaven with Willis. Liz enjoyed the extra help I think.


Aubree finally warmed up to Liz.


On our way to Utah Jake and Clara were airport buddies.


Playing in the airport before boarding.


The day after we got to Utah it snowed...all of about 3-4 inches. We loaded the kids up at 830am and went to sled before it melted. Aubree's not a fan. Clara went down once. Everyone else loved it.


At Walmart Dan and I saw Studio C mustache man... I had to prove it to Jake and Tess.




Aunt Aimee was the hair-doer for my girls!


My talented mother put together a fun and clever treasure hunt. It included drawing on our foreheads, putting together puzzles, becoming rudolph the red nose reindeer and ended with gift cards to "girl heaven" aka Charming Charlies and REI for the boys.


Christmas morning tradition of OJ.
