Even though we didn't get a chance to get on the slopes, we still were VERY entertained in Utah.
Exhibit A - mom thought it would be fun to have our Christmas this year themed as the "Christmas Story". This started off with hoodies for the new yorkers, and shirts for everyone else. The boys' say "you'll shoot your eye out" with a bb gun, and the girls' have the infamous lamp on the front. Then, we played the "Christmas Story" trivia game. It was fun.
We got stuck in blizzards (in our tiny rental - the yaris), but were able to find our way home.

(you betchya...ya-ya has been in the family pictures for years...)
Notice how Kiers and I have the SAME exact "goofy" face. HA!
We ate way too much - specifically home made tamales made my Grandmother - and other yummy treats.
(Isabel watching Grandmother make tamales.)
Lyle and Luke getting started on Tamales.
We practiced being a good uncle and auntie.
Isabel got really good at opening gifts! Lucky for her almost every gift was in a bag!
Izzy's first dentist appointment! She has 16 teeth!
We survived a leaky roof next to the bed we were sleeping in!
(Yep, this is CHRISTMAS EVE.)
We felt the sweet feeling of being "at home".
(Lyle got his very own engraved beer mug "dr. lyle"- THANKS luke!)
We caught up with good friends and family.
We were blessed to be with our Family and can't wait for another reunion (plus a little girly girl on the way compliments of the Nielsons)!
