Christmas in Phoenix!

We were not planning on spending Christmas in Phoenix this year but when we found out everyone would be there for Christmas Eve we had to go. So we quickly packed all of our things, laid out Santa's gifts so they would be there when we got back, and left the next morning. The drive is so long but the kids did really well. We spent a week in Phoenix and were able to visit with all of my siblings, my mom, and even some of Mark's family. It was so nice to be there and so hard to come back.


We could not get Jack to take his eyes off his presents for a couple minutes to get a picture


Ashley also refused to look at the camera

Let It Snow!!

Today we had a super fun time sledding. We brought hot cocoa and found a really fun sled hill at a local park and just had a blast. I guess Utah isn't all bad. We went down the hill with all of the kids, even though some were hesitant. But when we were leaving everyone said they had fun and were glad we went. Which is a big deal. It seems like we always make a big effort to do fun things with our kids and they don't even appreciate it. I'm glad we were all able to have a good time today. Yay snow!

Kids, kids, kids...

A few more cute pics of the kids taken this last Sunday.
