Utah trip

Home for Christmas this year. I know, 4 kids, we are crazy. Santa did find us, but with a bit of difficulty. We did a lot of visiting and projects and fun things, but we didn't make it even half way through our to do list. We enjoyed the cold and snow. Our most fun thing was tearing through the old barn (ok just Marty did the tearing). We took home barn wood for frames and for Marty to make a table. It is turning into a big project, but an exciting one. We were able to get family photos from both sides of our families. It has been a long time since we have done that. We all went to little beaver to night ski. Celie got to try out skiing for the first time. She did very well. As you can see from the pictures the boys got to try skiing from a high point of view!
It was nice to meet my Dad's fiance'. She is such a nice person and has great daughters. She made Christmas morning very homey. Marty's parents were nice as always, letting us take over their home. We had a nice time. Thanks for having us!!

The wonderful car ride to Utah. I am glad I didn't take pictures on the way home. It was much worse. :)

We stopped first at Marty's brother's house and had a wonderful time with cousins.

We got to share their first time having a meal on their new table.

Poor Mirra was in the car seat a lot.
