Christmas in Utah

We have some great photographers in my family, so I don't have a lot of pictures of our trip.  Here are a few to show a glimpse of the great time we had with my ENTIRE family.  All 11 kids, spouses, kids...everyone was home for Christmas this year.  31 people is quite a crowd.
Swimming on Christmas Eve.  A great way to wear out the kids so they'll fall asleep.

Acting out the Nativity

Getting together with friends

Seeing the Christmas Lights

A trip to the art museum

Fun family games

Sledding with Papa (it was COLD)

Continuing the tradition of crashing the gingerbread houses at midnight

Bundling up for the snow takes a lot of time

but it is well worth the effort!

A slide full of snow doesn't work quite so well

Ethan missed the first sledding experience, but loved the second

More visits with good friends

And the down side of the trip...sick kids.  We spent Christmas day at Urgent Care for both the kids.  The kids were a bit more emotional and slept worse than usual, but still had a great time with family.
