Christmas!

This year we were able to go to Wyo for Christmas. We left Monday thinking we would get there late that night. Well by the time we got to Provo (3 1/2 hours away) It didn't look too promising. Roads were fine all the way to Santaquin. Then the huge storm hit us. I was driving while Eli snoozed. Three years ago I spun our surburban into a guardrail and haven't really recovered since! Insant panick attacks! So my blood instantly ran cold. The roads changed from wet to inches of slush in a second. I didn't do too bad, just turned the wheel to him! So with roads getting worse and our families worrying we made it as far as Evanston. Roads were much better the next day. And yes it was cold!!! The girls just cried Tuesday morning when we left because it was so cold! We are weak!! We made it safe and sound to enjoy a great week!


Goth child. That would be permanent black marker she found.........
Enjoying the chocolate fountain

more chocolate...............................


This would be another offense and MY toothbrush!!!! The black stuff on it? My mascara.......... Girls having a blast together

Anastyn came up to my mom and pointed to her foot and said "candy!" Her jammies are the kind with the feet in them. My mom thought she was being silly but Anastyn insisted and what do ya know? My mom unzipped em and looked at her foot. Sure enough right between her piggies was a M&M. She picked it out and ate it!!! :) she was the life of the party!
The Mayes Fam nativity

We ate tons, and had lots of fun. Christmas Eve we did the Mayes Family tradition. I couldn't believe how big it is. There were 70 + people at his parents house. We ate, (more ;) ) and opened fish pond presents.
Santa had to come early (before we left St. George) because the girls got bikes this year. They had fun with the glitter pens grama got them. They had a blast playing with Matty and Anastyn. They miss them! Our house is so boring without them.

We were planning on going ice skating in Cody, but that didn't work out so Grama took the girls to Despereoux sp? It was a cute. Different, but cute. We broke out the chocolate fountain again. It was so yummy! And we played a new game that kyle and cat got us. Partini. It was pretty funny, alot like Cranium.
Time flew by so fast while we were there. Kacee came on Sunday and we had to leave Monday. That part sucked. But she is coming this way soon!
I guess that is our little vacation in a nutshell! We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas and have a great New Year!!!

Glad you had a great Christmas and made it safe to Lovell and back. We hit some scary roads going and coming also and I didn't like it. It is nice to be home to warm weather isn't it?
