{happy christmas}

christmas...was...cold.long.snowy.memorable.full.of.love.family...after going across colorado and utah on i-70 we spent the first night at brett and stephs...the boys had so much fun seeing their cousins and matthew and i were able to relax a little and chat with brett and steph before we had to get back on the road.

the next night we met up with my family in slc and stayed in the little america hotel...which.was.amazing...and everyone over age 12 went to a jon schmidt concert.amazing.thanks.dad.  the next morning we had holiday breakfast...and this pancake is the only picture we ended up having on this leg of our trip...

then we finally made it to my parents house and wouldnt you know...the boys and i ended up sick.again.with a head cold.  so we went to a doc in the box just to find out it was a virus.  thankfully the doctor sent us home with some really choice Rxs...oh and did i mention poor keegs had a double ear infection?

one night we went christmas light seeing.  my mom and sister-in-law ashleigh had heard about this house that had the lights timed to music on a radio station they had rented for the holidays...it was way cool.and. ambitious...we ended up getting caught in between the crazy.snowy.weather...we left in between storms and thought we would make it home...wrong...we spent a night at hill afb hoping i-80 would clear up a little and reopen...wrong again...so we spent another night at brett and stephs hoping i-70 would be better...finally kinda right...although it was freezing...like on the verge of north dakota freezing...still we made it home in one piece and thoroughly enjoyed our trip...

unfortunately we didnt take pictures of christmas morning...we decided to just record it...but all in all it was a very nice vacay...and we look forward to seeing family again.
