We ate lots and lots and lots of food. The kids lived on sourdough toast with butter and chocolate drinks and sugar in all shapes and sizes. They also slept as little as possible. Can you say WIRED?
Here is my proud creation. I selfishly wanted to make a gingerbread house ALL BY MYSELF. So I did. And I loved every minute of it!
The kids made a gingerbread train. Also very cool!
Here Comes Double Trouble...we loved spending time with our cousins!
We rode the Polar Express with Mamie and Papa and Aunt Amy and Uncles Matt, Scott, and Nick. What could be more fun?
Hot Springs with Papa and Mamie might have been the highlight of our entire trip. We had a blast!
And we played in the snow.
Izaac learned how to crawl...sort of.
We packed a lot into 3 weeks. I had lunch with friends...dinner with friends...a fantastic massage...shopping with Mom...fondue party...temple trip...Sherlock Holmes....Fantastic Mr. Fox...bowling...It was sad to leave. But we're getting back into the groove of our routine (hip hip horray for school!) and we're almost ready to countdown the days till Jaylon comes home for R&R. Between 60-70 days if all goes well.
i LOVE these pictures! Miss you!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you had a good Christmas! I hope things work out for Jaylon to come home sooner rather than later! I'll be praying for you guys!
