Christmas In Utah!!!

Well, we spent Christmas in Utah this year again because Lily had another appointment at Shriners so we arranged for it to be close to Christmas!! What fun times were had on our trip. I flew out with Lily and Leif on the 16th and Mike and Jacob met us out there on the 20th. We had fun visiting many friends that still live out there and ones in town for the Holiday. We came home on the 30th (my birthday) and have been bored ever since. We were able to do a lot while we were out there and are planning our trip out this summer in June for Mikes brother's wedding already!!

Lily and Grandpa Hansen had a blast in the snow together. I think Lily could live outside, never come in, and be happy!!!

Jake, Mike, and Grandpa went out in the mountains and cut down a tree. They all had snow shoes and Jake did great in them!! He picked a very Charlie Brown tree but he had a blast!!

What cute kiddos

Lily stole Grandpa's heart the entire trip! Talk about picking favorites!!! HAHA

Presents everywhere!

Leif was the most insane unwrapper ever! He was more excited than both Lily and Jacob. It was funny!!

Notice the Charlie Brown tree Jake picked out being swallowed by tons of presents!!!

Lily and Jake absolutely love their uncle Ben!! Whenever he was not around they asked where he was!
Talk about being tired after playing with new toys all day!!! I don't know how they sleep close to each other. I'm sure they kick each other all night!!!

Lily and Grandma spent time making cookies together and Lily loved it!!!

We had a great time visiting with friends from Ohio. Mike was excited to catch up with his great friend Wade! We definately need to do it more often!! How sad but this is the only picture I took because I forgot I had my camera the whole time we were there!

I don't think I've ever seen the present pile almost tower over the Christmas tree before! Poor Lily, she won't get to bake until Grandma Hansen comes out to visit! Ha ha! :)

it was fun seeing you guys. the picture of mike and wade cracked me up and it was pathetic that nobody took any pictures. that picture of leif opening his presents in his saucer was so cute. with his face half concealed he looked kind of like drew. maybe it's because drew has those jammies too.

Heather!!!

I found your blog through Sarah's, who I found through Gale Bray's, who is a friend on my facebook. Hope you don't mind me commenting. Leif is so ADORABLE!! I just want to pinch those cheeks. He reminds me of Andrew at that age. Looks like you all had a fun Christmas. Check us out on our blog www.boltfamily.wordpress.com

Cute family pic. It is fun to see an updated pic of your kids - they are darling! Hey, did you end up going to Inn on the Creek in November for your Anniversary?...that is hillarious that someone I know goes there too. No one knows WHERE I am talking about when I tell them about that place. Looks like you guys had fun in Utah!
