We decided last minute this year to do a Utah trip.
My Aunt Nancy's house in St. George and stopping by to see Great Grandma Bradbury on the way. We stayed overnight and by the next morning a blizzard was hitting Salt Lake/Provo area. There was even snow falling in St. George! So we took off quickly in the morning on our way to Provo. Hoping to get there before things got bad!
Made it Provo by noon time! Hallelujah! We are NOT experienced snow drivers. :)
The girls were SO excited to see snow. They really don't remember much from Indiana so this was like seeing it for the first time again.
It's been awhile since Lance and I have seen snow too so we were kind of excited also!
Cousin time with the Martinez Family!
Some AWESOME silly faces.
Cousin time with the Bartholomew, Silva, and O'Toole Families!
Ice skating at the Rec Center. Interesting when you are 3!
Jacob, Mia, Alexis, Keatlee, Maddi, Mike, and Ella
This was an awesome idea! Ice-skating-walkers. :)
Shopping Trip with Grandma!
Temple Square with the Bartholomews.
Mia and Sarah.
We got to meet Great Grandma Chapman at church before heading home on Sunday!
This is out of order but here was our awesome Christmas Dinner while enroute to St. George Christmas Day! Jack-in-the-box...I think. :)
Favorite thing about Aunt Nancy's house is seeing the Dogs! Buttons and Doodle. We figure this is the perfect alternative to owning a pet ourselves!
Macee had no fear and loved the dogs also! As I write this she's now 16 months old and her love of dogs has become a passion. She can hardly contain herself when she sees one but she's developed a healthy fear of them if they actually get close to her.
Again out of order but here is Maddi at the Gas Station while getting into Provo. She was so thrilled to see snow that she HAD to get out and touch it. :)
Fun to surprise my Mom who was visiting at my sister, Lisa's house. She had NO idea we were coming. :)
More and More Snow fun!
Grecia, Aunt Lisa, and Maddi cuddling up!
Sledding with the Nelson Family! This was high on our list of priorities for this trip.
Macee didn't last long outside but we bundled her up anyway!
Lance and Ella. Ella was a little nervous because her first trip down the hill was all by herself! Grandpa sent her right down on the sled before Lance and I had even made to the hill. :) We were all surprised but she recovered quickly and took a couple more rides down with Lance!
Maddi and Keatlee.
Maddi and Mia couldn't get enough of the sledding experience!
Alexis and Mia
Macee's first pool trip!
Swimming and Ice Skating all in one day!
Swimming for the first time with Grandma and Grandpa Nelson
Beautiful Salt Lake Temple. My kids know I'm a sucker for a beautiful Sunset and I always have to try and capture a picture. :)
Grecia and Macee.
After this trip whenever I talked to Grecia on the phone she would say "Hows your Chubby baby Macee?" Love it!
Our last night we combined families and all met up in Salt Lake to see the lights on Temple Square. What a fun last night. :)
Aunt Lis, Uncle Joel, and Snow Baby Macee.
Poor Maddi came down with Strep Throat towards the end of the trip so after a trip to Urgent Care for antibiotics she wanted to keep going so she got the royal treatment and we pushed her around in a stroller the whole time. :)
Aunt Lisa, Grandma Tresa, and Macee
Ella crashed out in Macee's carseat halfway through! She got a nice little nap and Macee enjoyed having people carry her around. :)
In the Tabernacle singing songs.
Bartholomew, Nelson, and Martinez families.
Ella was super excited to see the temple all lit up when she woke up!
Joseph Smith Memorial Building
More pics with Grandma Tresa, and Great Grandma Chapman
Heading Home! What a fun trip. :)
