Merry Christmas

We'll just call this Christmas morning . . . even though it was really the 26th. We had a blast in Utah but our travel plans home were a nightmare. We flew home Christmas day and our original flight was cancelled. They separated our family on different flights. I guess Delta didn't realize my kids were not old enough to fly alone. They were able to get our whole family on a 1 am flight back to Atlanta. Ty never slept on an overnight flight. Crazy!! And then it was completely snowing in Atlanta and the 3 hour drive back. A Christmas we'll never forget. We got home at 10 am Sunday morning and walked in the door and celebrated Christmas. Rich and I were exhausted but the kids seemed to have enough energy opening their gifts!!

This razor bigwheel was a hit from Santa!! The boys love it and fight over it every time we go outside. I guess Santa needed to bring 3!

Merry Christmas

Utah . . . the week before Christmas

We went to Utah for my sister Stacey's wedding (pictures to come) Here were some other fun activities from the week . . .

all the COUSINS!

The Parkinson Family Christmas Dinner

(an annual tradition held at Magleby's Restaurant)

The Nativity . . .

thanks to my sister Christy for her amazing collection of costumes

The kids were very excited that it SNOWED alot while we were in Utah!!

And of course . . . we couldn't leave Utah without a SKIING ADVENTURE!! This was a first for the boys. Thanks mom for watching Ty so we could take the kids up to Snowbird. After 5 hours of preparation and rounding up stuff from the fam the boys were finally ready to hit the slopes. I told Rich on the drive up that it was going to be a disaster and that it had already been too much effort just getting the stuff together and adjusting skis, etc. It turned out to be an AWESOME day and all 3 boys loved it!!

My sister Christy's family came skiing with us. Her kids love it. Michael, her 4 year old, skis the tram!! Fun Fun
