Holiday Trip

We made a trip to Utah after Christmas to visit Family and had a FAnTasTiC time!

Ashlyn didn't waste any time exploring her new terrain and getting into anything and everything that she could find.


While we were there with the whole family we even had some family pictures taken. Jay and I took the chance to have a great snap shot of us taken. I am a lucky girl to have such a good look'n and incredible man at my side.


The kids jumped in as always to help Grandpa out with the cows. There was even a baby calf born during our visit that the kids got to see from a distance of course.

There was lots of playing with cousins at their houses as well as at Grandma and Grandpa's house. And everyday the kids were thrilled to get out and play in the wet, cold snow.

Cousins had fun dressing up and playing pretend.

While on the other days they braved the cold and build an incredible snowman. I was sure he was going to
come alive with the bucket on his head.

The boys worked really hard to roll the right size of snowball to make their snowman oh so tall.

Sarah was an expert at mini snowballs and miniature snowgirls.

Colton was eager to try his hand at sledding and anything that involved going fast down a hill. No fear!

The girls were full of giggles and smiles every step of the way. Of course the snowy, cold toes did bring some small frowns but those frowns always quickly turned upside down.

The sighting of the Oman princesses where every where during the holidays. And they were always ready to strike a pose for the camera. They are not a shy bunch. Pretty, pretty Princesses!

Playing Wii was certainly a favorite activity for all the cousins and with their favorite aunt non-the-less. And they all got their excercise as well while they played "Let's Dance." That was entertaining to spectators as well.

Here is a picture of Colton and Michael tearing up the dance floor.

Ashlyn didn't join in on the snow or dancing so much but she was a fan of traveling well at least destroying the suitcases.

With all the things the kids were doing and everyone they got to spend time with it was a wonderful trip and we feel so blessed to have had the chance to travel to Utah this holiday season.
