The day after Christmas we drove immediately down to Utah for Christmases #2 (at Nana and Papa's house in Salt Lake) and #3 (at Gram's in Richfield). At Shady Oaks (Nana and Papa's house) we opened presents, went ice skating, watched movies, played games, and had a talent show. Several, actually. My kids discovered a love of ice skating and wanted to go every day!
It's all about the Avengers, and legos, for Spencer!
Bella got to come this time... though Papa is terribly allergic to her.
Nana and Papa's house backs right up to the Bonneville Golf Course - we sled right in their back yard on the 14th hole. So convenient!
We got to go to the Tabernacle Choire live Sunday morning broadcast, and sat four rows away from President Monson! Then we had a little visit to the Church History Museum...
... then drove down to Gram's House!!!
More presents
Dad got a new suit from Uncles Mike and Rob :-)
We love the dogs Kenzie and Liesl!
For New Year's we went for the second year in a row to our friends the Knights' house for a New Year's sleepover, food and game fest.
Spencer Knight always buys about 25 cans of silly string and we have a midnight silly string battle in their cul-de-sac.
The kids put on skits or dance to the Wii...while the adults talk, play Carcassonne, and sit in their awesome massage chair!
On our way back home to Idaho we stopped for one more party with the Hunter cousins, this time bowling at Olympus Cove.
Then we finish off the first day of the new year with lunch at Olive Garden, before driving back home. And the holidays are done!
