snow days

we're back!! ... and it was 60 degrees here yesterday. what a change from the past few weeks! as you can see, we had such a great time seeing all of james' side of the family - what an action-packed adventure! (yes, that picture in the middle is our children sleeping in an airport - i said we had an action-packed adventure, didn't i?) here's a quick synopsis of our trip: flight diverted from vegas to phoenix because of snowstorm, slept in the airport, 6:30 a.m. flight to salt lake the next day, met cousins and played, played, played, family pictures and sledding, hurried to southern utah to avoid snowstorm, played, sledded, played with cousins, chopped down christmas tree, acted out nativity story, christmas morning - presents!, snowed in, gingerbread houses, sledded, played, talent show, played, etc. whoo! did i mention that there was a freakish amount of snow? kalei and kawelo loved the snow (although for different reasons - kalei didn't eat it), and koa won't be missing it any time soon. we had such a fabulous time with all the family! can't wait to get together again in 2010!


p.s. that picture with the dancing people outlined in glow sticks is not us - that's james' sister, kam, and her family dancing for the talent show - so creative!!

I love all these pictures! I hate snow but I love how the kids love it and how pictures turn out when you're out in it! It sounds like you had more then enough to do and that you had lots of fun doing it!
