Finally I am getting around to posting pictures for our Christmas in Utah. We had a blast and it was a FABULOUS 2 weeks!!
We went to the Temple lights at the Salt Lake Temple the Sunday before Christmas and it was beautiful!! We also went sledding on an actual sleigh pulled by horses at the Homestead in Heber and that was a blast and very calming. I am very sad to say that due to my lack of trying to learn how to use my new camera I accidentally erased ALL those pictures, but atleast we have the memories, right? It was a very sad and frustrating moment but atleast it wasn't Christmas Day.
Now, on with all our fun activities that I do have pictures for.
Tubing in Heber. After Hollie throwing a huge fit to get her snow outfit on, she finally made it to the slops and was excited to go tubing. I wasn't sure how she was going to do in her own tube, but she LOVED it and we couldn't get her out. It was so cute and she loves going fast. As for Ethan, he hung out in the nice warm lodge, by the fireplace, with my dad and Brookie. I will admit it was tempting to sit with them because it was FREEZING outside, but I enjoyed watching everyone tube down the mountain.
Christmas Eve. We were up at the cabin in Heber with the Skousen family. All I can say is that we had a blast. We listened to the story of the Polar Express, did our own Nativity, and sang Christams songs while my dad and Tyler played the guitar. It was great!! Hollie and Ethan had their matching Christmas jammies and were told that Santa would only come if they had on their "special" jammies, it was cute. Hollie was so excited about Santa and prayed every night that Santa would come and bring her presents.
Christmas morning. The long awaited morning finally came and after we were all worried Santa wouldn't find us because we weren't at our homes, it was good to see that he did. Boy, we must have ALL been good this year because I think we all got what we asked for. It was a wonderful Christmas morning and enjoyed being with our family. After opening presents we were on our way to the Homestead for a yummy brunch. We filled up on lots of food, went back to the cabin and the girls/kids took naps while the men went off-roading in the snow. It was a wondeful day and we LOVED being with our family.
Hollie got a hairstyling kit for Christmas and she LOVES doing hair. Now she can curl and blow dry it without cords attached, just batteries....Hooray!!!! Daddy is a very good sport.
Ryan and Hollie built the cutest snowman and Hollie was very proud to show him off. "Snowman so cute mommy," she would say. What a cute girl.
New Years Eve we spent at my aunts house and enjoyed relaxing and watching the guys play golf on the wii, let's just say it was very entertaining. Ethan was showing off his new steps, walking, and Hollie and cousin Stockton, were having a blast together and just being so cute!
Hollie LOVED the snow and LOVED sledding with daddy. Don't mind Ryan in his shorts, he is CRAZY. It was freezing cold outside, people are bundled in jackets and pants and here is my cute husband wearing shorts!! Oh my goodness.
