Utah

After all the hustle and bustle that Christmas brings, we finally had time to enjoy some of the things we love in Utah. Bladen playing in the snow! He loves the snow because all we see in Illinois is ICE!
Auntie and Bladen having a bath!

We didn't get one good family picture this year because Bladen was so antsy and onry, so here's the best!

Bladen being Nana's little helper cleaning out the garage. He loves to help my mom Swiffer and clean the house :) We all say he's OCD about cleaning and it's all my fault!


Bladen riding Papa's rocking horse from when he was a little boy... 47 years old!

Bladen snowmobiling for the first time with his Best Friend in the whole world... Papa
Our family at MidWay!

Our FAT snowman!


Making a snowman... per Bladen you make a snowman by
"Cup, cup, cup, push, push, push"

Bladen is 2! You'd think he could rid of this stupid thing, but this is what happens when you ask him to give it to you!












Christmas!

On December 17 and 18th we moved all of our belongings from our town house to our new house! It was so much work, but we got everything moved with minor damage... haha. We could have never done it in such a short time frame without the help of Nate's dad. On the 19th, we flew out of Chicago with only a 2 hour delay, but we still didn't make it to Nate's dad's house in St. George until around 2 am Saturday morning. Traveling days are so long and grueling, especially with kids! Later that morning after getting some sleep, we headed to Cedar! I was so anxious to get home to my family! I hadn't seen Brandi since her wedding in August and I was having withdrawls! We had such a good time in Utah and were so blessed to be with all of our family! Here are a couple of pics of our trip...
Bladen took like an hour to open his first present... WallE
Bladen had told everyone for months that Santa was bringing him tools. The kid was so excited!

I love this picture because Bladen would not stop looking at Santa right in the eyes!
I'm going to have to make another post to get more pictures on here... see above.
We had such a good time in Utah and are always sad to come back to Illinois! We hope everyone had a Merry Christmas!!
