Well we had a very eventful last 2 months, thus being the reason I have not updated the blog. We went to St. George to spend Christmas with family this year, which turned out to be very fun and memorable. Thank you to everyone that sacrificed to come so that we could see ALL of our family. Everyone from Reed's side of the family and mine were able to be there. It was all we wanted for Christmas, was to be with our family. So thank you!
Jensen had a great time with cousins and getting spoiled by grandparents. We loved seeing our family and definitely took advantage of having babysitters again.
Highlights: swimming almost every day, eating Cafe Rio, seeing more movies at the theater then we did the entire year, being in warmer weather (30-40 degrees), playing card games, watching Ian play Wii, Jonah's birthday at Treasure Island, watching everyone's face when my mom gave my sweet innocent 2 year the soft "bunny" blanket, and just being with family.

Now winter has surely come and here in Minnesota you just have to embrace it. So embrace it we did. It was one very cold Saturday afternoon and we just had to get out. So we all wore 3-4 layers of clothes with our heavy winter coats, gloves/mittens, beanies under hats, scarfs, wool socks, and some nice snow boots. 30 minutes later we were off into the wintery wonderland that is Minnesota. It was about -10 degrees Farenheit with a wind chill of -25, but that didn't stop us. We wanted to go sledding. Now sledding here isn't like sledding in Utah. There is a fine sheet of ice over the snow which gives it that extra little crunch when you walk on it.
We went near our house looking for a hill, even a small hill, just so we can slide down once or twice and come back inside. The nearest hill was about a 7-10 minute walk, which may not sound like a long way, but considering the conditions it felt a lot longer. Needless to say we found our hill, we made snow angels, and fun was had by all. I would like to mention that Jensen did have a good time and was rather toasty the entire time, except for his nose. This kid loves the snow and does not mind the cold one bit. So don't judge me!
This picture was in Utah. I just thought it was really cute and wanted to put it in there.

Allie! It was good to see you on our side of the chapel today :) I had to laugh at the "bunny" blanket! We had a similar experience a couple of years ago when Dan's grandma gave him a pair of "bunny" pajama pants for Christmas. Cluelss grandmas... you gotta love 'em!
Poor Leda will never live down the bunny blanket, it really is too funny. Kira and Jensen bareback is pretty good too. Actually, I love all of them.
It was fun seeing you guys! Are you coming for Thanksgiving this year? That is when we will be there. Would love to see you!
Glad you are back to blogging! Sounds like a fun Christmas vacation. Isn't family the best?!
