Here are a few pictures from our holiday. It began at home, when on the Sunday before Christmas church was canceled due to a big snow storm, so we celebrated Christmas instead. As you can see the weather could not have been more perfect for the occasion. So we watched "The Nativity", opened presents, played in the snow, and had an absolutely perfect early Christmas! It really was a great day!

This is one of the many reasons why we wish we had a garage. Oh well, at least we have a neighbor who snow blows our driveway for us. :)Then we headed to Utah on Christmas Eve. We had a great two weeks in Utah crammed full of family and friends. It was so nice to see everyone! Whenever we go back to Utah, it feels as though we never left (as long as we don't look at the children who are getting HUGE). By the end of the two weeks we were exhausted from lack of sleep, which is the best way to be because then you're too tired to think about the family and friends you're leaving behind as you fly back home.
We are so happy to be home. The girls did awesome on the plane rides, and as you can see from the picture they were exhausted (but still adorable). It's so nice to be back on our schedule, which includes sleep, and lots of it.
Thank you to everyone who made the effort to see us while we were out there. We really feel so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends!
Anna only wanted to sit next to Samantha. I love the hand on the leg.
Samantha and her beloved cousin Bethany, whom she calls "Belsa". We have no idea where she got that nickname.
Samantha LOVED sledding down Grandma and Grandpa Carpenter's hill!
