It's Christmas...It's Christmas Time~

We made our semi-annual trip to Utah for Christmas back in December. Continuing on with my crappy tradition of not taking pictures this trip is rather lacking in photos...but from what I have~I will share all!

We kind of took things easy this year and didn't make a ton of plans this year, so it was a little bit more relaxing>> Until we all got SICK!!! Seriously it sucked. I was throwing up ALL Christmas Eve~ and then when I wasn't throwing other family members were sick. Then Holt got a really bad head cold~~ As well as most everyone else~ So a lot of the plans we DID have got canceled or postponed.

However we did have fun when we got to do stuff... Let the pictures explain. {Caution: Some images may NOT be suitable for small children}

~~~Holt got some sexy *Manties*


Randeesh got a *"Nose" Warmer* made with love by his wife~~~


We had a birthday celebration for Momma Rona while we were there and were lucky enough to get pretty much all of the Terburgs there for the occasion. To quote *Flight of the Conchords* "We reminisced about how we first reminisced..." and told some fun stories about the T~burgs as "yuts". I love this family! I am really lucky to be a part of the craziness!{Rona's super cute cake}{the Burgs geeking it up!}{no words~~~ really none}

One thing that Holt and I worked really hard on were personally made t-shirts for all of our nieces & nephews...I only have pictures of Thomas and Addy's....But this is what we did>>
**Thomas & Addy> Flight of the Conchords
**Sophie & Grace> Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus
**Conrad>Bugs!
**Emily & Ava>Monkeys/Penguins
If you can't tell I was pretty proud of what we came up with. They ended up looking really cute. Plus the kids are SUPER cute anyway!

We had fun doing the Following:
**seeing Avatar with the Terburgs
**Eating Sushi with Greg
**Eating Sushi with Bear & Angie
**Being introduced to Modern Family {EVERYONE should watch this show!}
**Hanging out with some friends
**Eating some La Puente
**Good GOOD times

Our ride home was a different adventure...We discovered our new car alarm >>DOMO!!!! All must fear Domo!!! & I am pretty sure he is considered~by Holt~ as a new part of our family. He is Pyllis's new BFF!

As much as Domo protected us from harm...he could not protect us from the "Elements" We got stuck in an AWESOME {insert sarcasm} white out snow storm between Vail & Denver~~~ seriously TERRIBLE! We moved SEVEN miles in FIVE hours!!! For real it was the freaking worst! It was a total parking lot~~ straight up a mountain. Therefore there were cars & semis alike running out of gas, drifting in and out of lanes, people going to the bathroom just out of their cars [in front of everyone]. It was ridiculous. I should have taken more pictures of it...but I didn't think to capture of it until we were basically out of the torture. Once we reached this tunnel it kind of cleared up...Yeah~ the picture doesn't really capture the PAIN...Once we got to Denver~~we stayed at the aLoft there! We were going to stay at the Neito's but it was little Owen's blessing so we didn't want to impose..also Holt was sick. So~ who am I to complain that we got to stay at my favorite hotel. I LOVE aLoft!!!Owen's blessing was wonderful. And it was so good to see the Jacobs family...It is so good to see Bonnie and Wes so happy! And it was so good to see her dad and brother and their families.

We made it home the rest of the way without any problems...so that we nice. It was a good trip~ And I really didn't want to come back.
