Christmas & New Years

So for Christmas we spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day up at Eric's parents house. Of course we have no pictures because I am absolutely HORRIBLE about pictures. We had a really great time with Eric's parents and Jenn. Brittany was put on bed rest so she, Jeff and Lexi were not able to come out for Christmas :(. On the 27th we flew out to Utah for a week and were very busy seeing people and having fun with famliy. The above pictures are from New Years Eve. The girls are hilarious. I love London in the picture. She looks like she is winking. What a nut. The newer couples in our family (Spencer&Brittany, Braden&Rachel, Becca&Judd) went to The Roof restaurant for dinner on New Years Eve and brought back these fabulous feather headbands and New Years hats. Aren't they lovely.

While in town we went down to Provo and visited Emily and Mike VanDyke (and their daughter Alivia :) ). We went to lunch and then went to their place for a long overdue game of Wahoo!! Love that game! While we went to lunch Livy and London went with Jamie and Ryan to a gymnastics/bounce place and had tons of fun. They wish Ryan and Jamie were their parents because they are so much more fun than Eric and I :).

Eric took the girls sledding on New Years Day to get them out of the house and give everyone else a break! He was so nice to do it, but it didn't go to well. They were going to do one or two more runs and then they were going to leave and get some lunch at Hire's. On their way up the hill 4 tubers (with helmets) came down the hill and ran over Ava and London. London was fine but Ava dislocated her collar bone :(. So sad. She was so brave but she was in serious pain! They took her in to the hospital but with her age and with a collar bone break they just let it heal itself. They don't reset it. So, she has a brace on to keep her posture the right way so that she is not in pain but it still hurts when she tries to do things here and there. Eric felt SO bad. We hope it heals fast and she feels better!!! Eric might not be allowed to take the girls sledding anymore - well atleast Ava :).

On the last day of school before Christmas Break London had a little performance with her preschool. All the kids in her preschool sang some Christmas songs for us and performed. It was so cute!! London was darling but I didn't get very good pictures of her. She was smiling and singing right to me and Savvy. Love her little face :).

So, this post is all over the place. I realize that. I am just not into blogging lately (as you can tell) but I want to get these pictures in here and write about some things because I publish my blog as a book every year and that is how I scrapbook :). So, this is the best I can do right now. I'm sure many of you can relate :). Anyway, we had a wonderful Christmas and a great New Years. We loved being with all our family. It was fun being in Utah but we are grateful to be back to 70 degree weather. Unfortunately we will have to visit some cold weather again in February. Spencer is getting married in February!! He is marrying Brittany in the Denver, Colorado temple and we are so excited for it. But, we are not excited for Denver in February!
