We spent Christmas week in Park City Utah, about 15 minutes away from Rachel & Nate's house in Heber. Although our 14 hour drive there was uneventful (thank goodness), they had a good snow dump a day or two before we arrived. So building a snowman in the back yard was one of the first things on the agenda.
Actually, number one item on the agenda was a trip to Costco to load up on groceries to feed the nine of us all week (Nate's sister Lindsey was also visiting).
The kiddos were on their best pre-Christmas behavior, making life merry for all concerned.
Becca thought we might need some larger cookware to accommodate the crowd.
We did do other things besides eat-
The family went ice skating
Little Douglas was too small to be allowed on the big tubing hill. Instead he got to ride on the tube "carousel", which is basically a mechanical turntable similar to a horse "hot walker" with slowly spinning metal bars to which they have attached tiny inner tubes by tow ropes. The kids sit in the tubes and they go around and around in a circle. The attendant said half the time the kids just fall asleep.
Christmas Eve we spent in Temple Square taking in the lights...
We had a delightful time sharing the holidays with our kids!!
