Our Christmas trip to Utah was fun. Thanks mom and dad for your hospitality! Here is our updated picture with Alans side of the family. It was good to spend time with everyone and to see all the little cousins play together.
My moms grave site. Alan was so sweet and shoveled approximately a 12 x 12 foot area of 8 inch ice and snow just to find it! Oh, I love him! It's been hard to be so far that I can't visit more often, but is was great to stop by and remember her.
Kalin and I rode the front runner down to SLC. What a smooth ride! We spent the night at my sister Kari's house and met up with my sister Kim at the Gateway. I love my sisters and miss them already! I regret not getting pictures of my side of the family, I don't know how that happened. I was just too busy chatting and doing other things I guess! Sorry guys!
It didn't take long for BreeAnne and Kalin to become buddies! They even had to wear the same skirt to the treehouse museum.
Grandma with her grandkids (minus Porter and Anderson), singing Christmas hymns.
Eliza, Kalin, and BreeAnne.
Porter, Braden, Lucas, and Logan. This sight of all the cousins made me start to tear up. It was sweet to see them all together, yet hard knowing that this is what we miss out on. Same with all 6 cousins on my side of the family.
Making rolls with Grandma. Kalin looks like she just adores her Grandma! She might have just been laughing because they were being silly and dancing to Christmas music.
The kids first experience in the snow. Grandpa pulled them in a sled behind his truck and we also took them to great Grandma's to slide down her hill. It may be super tiny, but I don't think that mattered at all to them or the big kids either! :) We didn't get to build a snowman because the snow wouldn't stick, but we did try to build an ice-block snowman until Porter kept knocking them over!

So cute. I'm glad you got to come out west. Your family is so cute and I miss seeing you and teasing with Alan. I really do love you guys and wish you the best. Thanks for the b-day card that is coming to Benji. Also, could you send me the dates of the birthday's in your family. I know that Benji, Brinlee and I love to send b-day wishes whenever possible.
Lukas just saw a picture of Klain and said, "I want to see Kalin." I told him we would have to get on a plane because she lives far away. He is now begging to get on that plane to see Kalin. So sweet! I miss you.
It was great to have you here with us over Christmas. You took some great pictures. They bring back some fond memories. We miss each of you so much.
Love Mom
