Snow Fun (Utah)

While in Utah after christmas it snowed about 12 inches of fresh powder snow. Cole had fun sledding, making snow angels, throwing snowballs and playing in the snow with his cousins Allie and Jayden. Thought I would share some fun pics from that day.

We made it down the hill!!

Christmas in Utah

We spent Christmas and New Years in Utah this year with my family. We had wonderful time and enjoyed spending time with everyone. Here are a few of my favorite things we did on Christmas!!

Making gingerbread cookies for Santa. Cole was upset about not getting to eat his cookie. So santa left him a note along with the cookie on Christmas Eve.


Cole and his cousins Allie and Jayden with their decorated cookies!!


Opening presents on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day! Cole was crazy about Buzz Lightyear after seeing the movie Toy Story. Needless to say he was glad he got Buzz and all his other presents of course.


Quote after opening the Giants shirt "MY GIANTS"!! Daddy is so proud!
