Holidays

We had such a fun Christmas this year! This year we were with the Barney's and we went to Bear Lake as a whole family! Royce's parents have Trendwest timeshares so this is the second Christmas with them that we went to one of their locations and they are so fun! We get a couple condo's with like 3 bedrooms in each and we all pile our families in there. It's pretty crammed with the whole family but we have such a good time together playing games and just spending time together. The snow wasn't too good but we did a little sledding which was fun except Grace had a pretty bad accident. The sledding hill we went on ended at a paved road and Grace and her cousin hit the bottom and she flew off and got road rash from the top of her head down one side of her face and under her chin. Luckily it healed quickly with no scars but it looked pretty nasty. We loved the trip though and Christmas was so fun with all the cousins!

i didn't take a picture of her face the first day but this is a couple days later

Royce only had a couple days off for Christmas and had to get back to his rotation so I decided I wanted to go visit my family. So the kids and I flew out to Washington for a week. I didn't even think about flying alone with 2 kids until the day before we left but it went really well. The kids were awesome! In Washington the kids were pretty much sick the whole time so we spent most of our time just hanging out making and frosting cookies and cupcakes and playing with the cat. We also went in the hot tub a lot and that was so nice. It was a nice little trip and we can't wait to live closer in about 5 months :)
