Utah by Storm

The entire drive to Utah the girls asked over and over again if there was snow at Grandma & Papa's house. We assured them there was and there WAS-in fact it was a white Christmas where the girls couldn't get out of the house soon enough. All dressed in their snow gear they made their way out to the backyard with their cousins and their Grandpa and went sledding, built a snow mountain and swung, all in the snow.

There were a couple of storms while we were there and the snow just kept falling. We couldn't have been more thrilled. After a bout with the Stomach Flu that ran through everyone...except me-knock on wood we made our way out into the snow with our Aunt Brooke to go see the local farm animals: about 8 sheep, some ducks and a donkey with a weird butt. We did Snow angels on the way home and even did a couple of snow runs.

It wasn't until the day before we left that the girls were able to make their snowman. The snow was finally perfect, and who better to make it with than your Dad and your Papa.
