Xmas Vacation

We were able to drive to Utah and spend time with both of our families for christmas. Rich got home and we did our own family christmas here before we left. It was so much fun concentrating on just the kids and doing our own family traditions. We made some cookies and left them out for Santa and went out on the balcony to look for rudolph's nose. Low and behold there it was! A red blinking light on the side of a far off airplane. The kids were convinced it was Santa and had a twinkle of fear in their eyes as they ran to bed, yes Meili is still not completely convinced about Mr. Clause. Oh, and I was informed by Kai that the Santa at Bass Pro was just someones Daddy. Yes... it is starting already! Christmas morning was full of so much excitement and fun as they played with all their new things. Then we packed up and headed to Ut. We spent the first week with my family in Saratoga and then spent a couple days over new years with Rich's family in Price. We played tons of games, ate great food, and just enjoyed family and cousins. It was a great vacation and we are sad it is over, but so grateful our Daddy is home and here to stay! These next few months are going to be full of changes and we couldn't be more excited for the ride :)

Meili was and is still so excited about her princess nail polish :)I totally can't get enough of excited xmas morning faces, Kai ran around all day saying 'This is the best day ever!'Sledding and eating snow at aunt shels :)Introducing... Cohen! Kailer's new favorite toy :) My sister had her baby and he literally could not get enough of him. Sometimes he would hold him longer than some adults! He couldn't stop smelling him. He loved it and cannot wait for our little man to come. Meili was excited too, she is wild though and unconscious... we are going to have to watch out for her...Princess' bathing at the Holts! Meili loved swimming with her cousins and the entire set of pics I took were absolutely hilar. It would need it's own blog entry :)The gaming boys...And last but not least... Daddy :)
