"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences. "

Our Christmas Celebrations

Here's a run down of our Christmas week:
Traveling
Our holiday celebrations started off by deciding based on the weather that we would have to travel home Saturday morning (a few days early) or not go home at all do to the horrible weather. Of course this decision was not made until Thursday night, causing Friday to be a day filled with lots of crazy as we packed and finished making the gifts (be looking for a post about this years homemade gifts later).
Here are our good little travelers
We traveled on the only day that it stopped snowing in something like two weeks...crazy! The blue skies and the snow covered trees where beautiful. The roads on the other hand were not so much but we made it safe and it didn't take as much time as we had expected.

A birthday celebration
Happy birthday to a great father-in-law! The day included lots of snow, delicious cinnamon rolls, and curling up and watching movies together. It was a great relaxing day.

Christmas Eve with the Lee's

The magic of Christmas morning
After many days of staying up late, the kids slept in until 8:30. It gave us a chance to get showered and dressed without having to get up early. The kids were tickled pink with there gifts. Santa did a great job!


Spending Christmas day with the Long's
After the kids opened their gifts from Santa we headed over to my parents to spend the day together. We had a nice day spend playing games, talking, and being together.

Finally heading home
After being delayed for a few days due to the passes being closed we finally headed home on Sunday (that's right we were gone for over a week). The roads were great but the glare was horrible.It's a good thing I have so many pairs of sunglasses in the car.Christmas at home
We made it home to discover that Santa had left something for the kids at our house too! They were so surprised. We had a relaxing evening exchanging gifts for each other and playing.


We had a nice visit filled to the brim with fun. Like always we never have enough time to do everything we wanted or visit with everyone as much as we wanted to but I can truly say that it was a good trip.
