Utah trip

We headed up to utah on Jan 1st.  The next day the boys went up to the canyons, Chris to ski and Conor to ski school.  Norah and I went back to the condo to sleep.  

The next day Chris' family showed up at the condo for the family Christmas party.

We stayed in park city for another day, then on Monday went out to roosevelt.  We hung with jay and Toni, then with my family where we celebrated my, Chris, and Lexie's birthdays.

Crazy and cold, but we had fun!

Christmas Eve and Christmas

We had a busy but fun Christmas!  On Christmas Eve, we invited a few friends over for hot chocolate and s'mores.  It was a blast!  The adults were able to relax (in 65 degree weather!) and the kids ran around like little crazy people.  

Then that evening we went to our neighbors church for their Christmas Eve service.  The kids were tired and wiggly so we had to keep taking them out but we were still glad we went.

After church, we stopped and grabbed pizza for dinner.  While eating we attacked the presents under the tree.  The kids were in heaven!  They stayed up late so they could play with some of their new toys, then put out treats for the reindeer and a special key for Santa to get in, and crashed around 9:00.

The next morning we found that Santa had come!  The big gifts were new 4-wheelers for both kids, Conor got a new (bigger!) tool bench and Norah got a kitchen.  The rest of the day we just hung out, watched Christmas movies and the kids played with their new toys.  We had a quiet turkey dinner with just the 4 of us, then early bed for everyone.  It was a great Christmas!
