Christmas

We were lucky enough to be able to go to Utah to visit Chris's side of the family for Christmas.  The day we left there was a snow storm that hit the midwest.  We tried to get ahead of it, but we came face to face in Omaha and had to stop for the night.  The next morning we started again, but all of the interstate across Nebraska was closed, so we had to drive south to Kansas and go across on 70.  It was a crazy long drive, but the kids were amazing and we finally made it, after 26 hours of driving.  Yikes.  IT was all worth it though, we had lots of fun and loved see ing family at such a wonderful time of the year.  WE were also able to do things with the kids that they had never experience before, like Temple Square lights...

 Sledding on a real hill...

and lots of other fun I don't have pictures of.  Meeting new cousins, going to the Nutcracker with Grandma, Christmas Eve dinner at Crown Burger, baking tons of cookies, and going to birthday partys on Christmas Eve. 

When we got home, the kids still had a week before they went back to school, so we had fun playing games , like Just Dance on the Wii.
