Winter Wonderland


Thirteen hours of driving, one traffic ticket, several pee stops, a broken DVD player, and lots of empty calories consumed to try and stay awake, and we made it to our winter break destination... Yeah! The joy of the kids seeing family has made the pain of the trip melt away. And boy do we love the snow!!! We've been taking advantage of the massive amounts of snow Utah got this winter. It's amazing! Skyla started collecting icicles to bring back to show everyone in California. Aunt Melissa tried to convince her that maybe taking a picture would be better... We've spent a couple of days at Grandma and Grandpa's (David's parents) where the girls perfected their Wii abilities with their uncles, made cookies and went sledding with aunt Chrissy, and celebrated Savannah's first birthday (my niece is so adorable!). Uncle Geoff was even giving cartwheel lessons for free! Thank you Grandma and Grandpa for warm hugs, fun stories, and special treats. We love you!

Oh NO! Your drive sounds awful! A ticket and a broken DVD player????

Glad you are having fun in the snow. It's not that cold here right now...so that has been good for us.

I missed you at the class...it was good. I will show you some stuff.

I think I'd take a ticket over a broken DVD player - but you got both! I'm so sorry. I'm glad you're having fun in Utah. All of those things sound like a blast. What a great way to survive the February blahs!

I hope you got home safe! I was thinking of you on Saturday with the awful weather. I just hope your drive home was better than the drive out. (Fingers Crossed)
