A White Christmas

(Yes, that is our car reading a cozy 3 degrees on our drive home.)

Derek, Bostyn and I made the trek to Utah to spend Christmas with my parents. We were initially worried about driving in all the expected storms, but luckily we dodged them all. We had a very nice, relaxing holiday. We spent most of our time indoors since the daily highs hovered between the low teens and low 20's- not exactly what we are used to! It snowed another 4.5 inches on Christmas night. It was funny to see our car covered in it and everything looked so pretty blanketed in white. We, of course, spent way too much time eating! It's just so much more enjoyable when someone else does all the cooking! Thanks Mom and Dad!

This is Bostyn's "Christmas excitement face".

Bostyn decided it was her job to help her Papa pass out all the gifts.


These were Bostyn's favorite gift- princess dress up shoes from Nanny Stock

Marlee, Beau, and I made a very handsome snowman in the backyard-complete with wood chip eyes, a carrot nose, sidewalk chalk mouth, an old ratty towel for a scarf, igloo cooler lid hat and golf club arms. Yes we are creative!

Bostyn wasn't sure about all the cold white stuff.

We missed seeing Derek's family but managed to have a great time. We hope everyone had a terrific Christmas!
