Going on a Trip

One of Evan's new favorite games is to get out his bags and pretend like we are going on a trip. He especially likes wearing the backpack.

You Gotta See This...

A day trip out East

This was our original route..turns out "Road Closed"

It was a beautiful day for a drive.

Temple Square for Christmas

Saturday night we went downtown to see the lights at Temple Square. It was a little cold, but the lights looked really pretty against the snow. I couldn't get over how many lights were on all of the trees. Of course, the pictures don't do it justice, but trust me it looked really pretty! Evan all bundled up in his stroller. He insists on not wearing his right glove, so he can have full access to his thumb!

There were several different Nativity scenes around the Square...this is one of the more interesting ones.

Look at how many lights are on each tree...amazing!!

"Outside"

Funny what a week can do for an 18 month old. Last week Evan was not pleased at all about being out in the snow. This week all he can seem to say is "outside, outside??" Good thing he has taken a liking to the snow as I am sure we can expect a lot more of it. Evan enjoying some snow. Check out the video below

A neighbor and his daughter made this huge snowman!!

My Boys

Poor Bill and Evan have been pretty sick since we got back from Ohio. Here they are taking it easy on Sunday morning.

Just for looking

On Sunday after the big snow fall, we drove up the canyon to check it out...here is some of what we saw.


Keeping busy while stuck indoors.

Advent Calender

Every night before bed Evan gets his chocolate fix from the Advent Calender. And every night after he finished eating his one piece, he always asks for more.

When can I get some more chocolate??

Greatest Snow on Earth

Finally the skiers are happy because as one website put it..."the greatest snow on earth is back!!" We had our first official snow fall today. It was snowing when we woke up and didn't let down until about 2 in the afternoon. All told we probably got about 5 inches and the mountains are reporting anywhere from 10-20 inches. So we did what most of the other kids were doing, we all bundled up and headed outside. Evan was pretty unimpressed with the whole ordeal, but as usual he went along with it anyway. Check out the video below to witness Evan's enthusiasm for the snow. Teeter-totter in the snow!!

Flashback to warmer days...

All the neighbor kids were out playing in the snow too.
