Christmas

You would think it wouldn't take me a month to post about such a great Christmas, but it did. We went to Utah for Christmas this year. It worked out that Branden only had to take off 4 days from work with Christmas and New Years falling on the end of the week. I will say that it was bitter cold. I think the Fri. or Sat. before we came home it finally got up to the high twenties. I'll complain now, but come summer I will complain about the 105+ weather here. I know I can't be pleased. The drive home was really cold. I didn't like to look at the thermometer and see 12 or more below. I was glad to be in a truck with heat. And of course I got stuck driving the stretch that was filled with fog. I shouldn't complain Branden did drive the whole way on the way up. And there was a lot of black ice. He did amazing. He personally thinks it is fun to drive in that kind of weather. I had white knuckles all the way. One more thing my wonderful husband does well. I got a great one. The kids had a blast and didn't want to come home. They got to sled and go out and shoot Adriana's new 410 shotgun. (Not really new, just to her.) Branden got some hunting in with his younger brother. I just tried to stay warm. We were able to see our good friends Jason and Alisynn Dickson and their kids. So here are a few highlights from our almost 2 week vacation. (That I needed another 2 weeks to recover from.)
