No, we did not jump off the face of the eart. We spent the holidays in Utah. We left as soon as school was on in DEcember and got back this last Sunday. It took us 33 hours (counting stops for food, restrooms, and gas) to get there. But it was worth every minute. The boys are great travelers and we had such a WONDERFUL time! I have lots of pictures, so I will post them in chunkcs. Here is just a random sampling of our first day or so there.

The first is James in the hotel room. He had a marvelous time exploring a new place. And of course he learned to walk while we were gone. I have a video I need to get off the camera to post. He is still pretty shaky but he improves everyday.
Have you ever seen the movie "A Christmas Story" with the little boy who wants the bb gun. Remember the little brother who the mom dresses for school in a red snowsuit and he whines about a little problem he has with his clothing.

Poor James..."I can't put my arms down!" Little guy kept trying to roll over and he looked like the most adorable flopping around red slug you ever saw!


The "big boys" as we call them had a great time in the snow. Nathan was particularly fond of eating the snow.





And last, but not least, Kenny lost two teeth in one day right before Christmas. Can we say "All I want for Christmas is my two front teeth?"
