Christmas Vacation...

Our Christmas vacation started a little bit early this year. We planned to spend it in Utah because we knew that getting back to see family after the big move would be a bit harder. My Grandpa passed away a week before we were planning to leave so, we left a few days earlier for his funeral. The funeral was really nice. My aunt and uncle both spoke and my mom played her flute. To top it off it was a really beautiful day! We will miss my Grandpa so much! The night of the funeral we spent some quality time with family that we don't get to see very often. My cousins moved away when I was about 13 years old and I was so happy to spend some good time with them. Below are some pictures of my kids with a few of them. My kids adore them and have talked about them non-stop since.

The girls with Kait. Kait is such a fun gal! I miss her even though I haven't seen her for years. She is getting married this coming summer and the girls have been invited to be a part of the wedding. We're so excited for her and Simon!
The girls with Josh showing their "strength". They teased him and had such a ball with him!

Here's Cam, the cutest RM I know. He is such a great guy! The girls got a kick out of him too.
We played a new card game that was so much fun. (Thanks to Alison and Wayne!) It's called 99. We even got my uncle Reed to play and we all had a blast together. Trash talking and laughing so hard. I'm sure that my Grandma and Grandpa enjoyed watching us from heaven.

The girls will probably remember that for a long time! Looks like they had so much fun. You must teach me 99! It sounds right up my alley. Hope you had a great holiday!
