Christmas Vacation (Part 2)

After spending a couple weeks with the Anderson family, we headed to good ole' SV and spend Christmas with the Taylor family. We had so much fun! I'm realizing as I do this that I didn't take very many pictures of our trip, so I apologize, but here are a few. My entire family was together for Christmas this year, so it made it especially fun. Me and the kids were even able to spend lots of time with Grandma and Grandpa after Christmas too, so it was an awesome trip.

One night we all braved the FREEZING weather, and went caroling. It's a fave tradition of mine! This is the whole gang right before we headed out. Parker wouldn't sing a word, but I think he liked it. Kaeson enjoyed it until the cold got the best of him and then he just started signing "all done" over and over again. Even Grandma Taylor joined in on the fun. She was a trooper.

On Christmas Eve, we all acted out the Nativity. My mom made every one of these outfits herself, plus little puppets to go with the story for every family! How amazing is she?!!!!

We tried to take advantage of the snow and took the kids sledding on a hill a few blocks away. Parker didn't love it! He's not much of a daredevil! Then Lance took him down a fast one and they took a pretty good spill and he was definitely over it!

We all went bowling one day and had a ton of fun. I especially enjoyed it since I walked away with bragging rights for the high score!
