Christmas Part 1






















Man this Utah trip has gone by so fast. We headed to Utah on 12/21. We left at 4:30 AM and man I am glad we did. We had 65 mph wind gust when we first entered WY and then it was smooth sailing until we got to Rock Springs. After that it was 4 hours of non stop snow and rain and just crappy weather. This is the reason we don't travel home for Christmas and this just really solidified that tradition. 

We got to SLC around 2 pm and we stopped to have lunch and hang out with the Geronimos. We loved it! The girls loved playing and we just laughted and laughed with Melynda and Marco. 

We headed to Logan. The big event was the blessing and sealing of Milo. It was a wondeful event. We loved it. It was so amazing to see both sides of the family there. After the sealing we ate lunch. Here is recap of the rest of the things we did in Logan.

It was a jammed packed 5 days. The girls did better than expected. Sydney no longer naps but even she tooks  a few naps since we were going so much. Still I was able to slow down. I took naps and relaxed. Tyson and I Joked that it was amazing to be alone together and see that we actually enjoy each other! Christmas morning the girls were excited but no over the top. Stockings were fun and we had great food. The girls played for hours by themselves and their cousins. That' was probably my favorite part. Sydney was totally in love with Oaklen and keeps asking about him.
