Utah

We had a fantastic break in Utah. We flew this year, which was fun for the kids, and a little easier on us, but it was also busy and expensive to fly and rent a car during the holidays. Not sure it was worth it.

While there we did everything we had wanted to do: ate lots, puzzles and games and cousin sleepovers, ice skating, and visits with Emily's birth parents. I also got a couple of girls nights out with my volleyball friends, and again with Karen.

At the end of the trip, I had my dad take a few family photos of us. It was crazy cold, so we didn't last long. I'm not sure what happened, but the photos all ended up a bit fuzzy. I still like them though.
