Extra-Long Christmas Vacation!!

Wow, where to start?!  Between waiting to hear on some jobs Mark had applied to and some bad-timing for our landlord to decide to move back into the house, we were able to spend a long vacation in Utah with family.  We had a great time playing in the snow, playing with cousins, and well...just playing!

Thanksgiving snow storm.  Mason was determined to shovel the driveway with his little hand shovel :)

We had such a great time and loved being with family.  Grandma & Grandpa spoiled us all rotten!  The time went too fast but we loved every minute of our HUGE Christmas vacation.
