We drove out to Utah for Christmas this year. We were tired of the snowless state of Colorado and knew that Utah could provide it. They didn't have snow on the ground when we got there, but the day after Christmas, finally delivered. We stopped in Laramie on the way there and back to make it a shorter drive. We woke up on Christmas Eve and the kids sang all morning that Santa was coming. We went to breakfast in the hotel and the other guests (there weren't very many at all) were laughing at the kids singing about going to Grandma's in their PJs because we let them go to breakfast that way. My sister made an amazing Christmas Eve dinner and we got to hear all the kids play the piano or tell a story. It was really nice.
The kids had a great time playing with their grandmas and their cousins and uncles and aunt. I got to see some friends that I don't get to see that much and Mike got to see his brother who he doesn't get to see often. it was just a really fun trip. When the kids were opening their presents, Tommy said, "Santa got me everything I wanted and needed...this is the best Christmas ever!" I think I liked the dollhouse Katie got even more than she did. Tommy's favorite present was his electric circuit board. It is pretty cool and he can do different experiments with it. Katie loved playing in the snow. We had a hard time getting her to come back in most days. I gained a lot of weight from all the delicious food which I now have to lose. All in all it was a fun trip and I hope you all had a great holiday too. Now back to the real world.
