It's been a while since my last blog because we went to Utah for Christmas this year, and I have to say how nice it was to have a “White Christmas”! I think it must have been a record snowfall at my parents’ home in Park City: 3 feet in 24 hours!
My brother Jared, his wife Amie and their two kids (Kai and Aria) live in Salt Lake and my brother Jason, his wife Emilie (who’s 8 months pregnant) and their two-year-old son Parker were there as well . . . it’s a very rare thing to have all of us together. We had a jam-packed two weeks; the best part was getting to see family and watching all the kids play together! Noah and Kai have reached the ages where they have a great time playing with one another – I’m so excited for when Aria and Amelia are a bit older and can play together as well.
Aria was so sweet with Amelia! |
Noah teaching Kai how to play Uno. |
Parker was very interested in the baby since he'll be a big brother very soon! |
We took the kids to the mall to get pictures with Santa, and I wanted to get Noah's hair cut before the photo, so we found a salon in the mall. I told the hairdresser what I wanted, short on the sides and longer on top, I turned around to get Amelia in her Christmas dress and when I looked back at Noah she had buzzed his whole head! I thought I was going to throw up I was so upset!
My mom got Mike this apron, now he can cook in style. |
We were able to fit in a lot of outdoor activities that included: building a snowman, sledding, skiing and teaching Mike and Noah how to snowboard. They both picked it up very fast, but I was especially pleased with how much Mike enjoyed it (he even agreed to go to Tahoe and try it later in the season)!
My dad, Jason and I had a blast skiing together!
We also had fun family time walking around the Temple to see the lights, going to a bounce house with Jared and his family, making a gingerbread house and my dad even took Mike and Noah to fly the Apache simulator, which Mike had a blast doing!
This last year was one of the best of my life, and I am so thankful for my husband and two kids!
