Trek to Utah & New Years Eve

We made a VERY last minute decision and loaded up in the car and headed up to Utah for the rest of Christmas break.  We were lucky and had blue skies the whole way up and back.  It was fun to call the night before and suprise everyone that we were coming.  The reactions were priceless!  Once we made it there we lucked out and had a few days of great fluffy snow before the inversion and COLD temperatures set in.  The trip like always went quick and we tried to take adavantage of every minute....eating at our favorite places, shopping, girls nights, cousins, the Temple, and just being with family.  Thanks to goodwill I found snowboots for the kids and they each LOVED playing in the snow, making snow angels, and climbing the snow piles.  Even Ben had to relive some old memories and go out and shovel the driveway and front walk.  It was a quick but much needed trip!




 *don't be fooled by the look on his face....he was loving it!





 New Years Eve
New years eve we spent the evening eating snacks and playing with cousins.  We had  a few sparkler's and went out early (10:00pm) to ring in the New Year.  IT WAS FREEZING!  We didn't last very long.
