{Christmas Eve In Idaho!}

December 22nd we packed up the babies and left for Idaho! 

Let me say, with 3 kids all under 4 those 21 hours it took to get there were pretty agonizing.

 This is us at Big O tire, we needed to get a spare for the truck, just in case...

 It rained, literally the entire way to Vegas!!

It was coming down in sheets!

We stopped in Wickenburg to eat dinner. Poor daddy slept in the car, he had the flu...

Unfortunately, Ryan wasn't the only sick one...

Shaylin, Brady and I all took turns puking our guts out! 

We HAD to stop in Vegas for the night, we were too sick to keep driving...

 One of the best places to stop, we all just had to sleep the flu off.

 We were MUCH better by morning!

we loaded back up, drove another 8 hours, and by 8pm were in Centerville UT, where Aunt Sara lives!

We exchanged gifts, and unfortunately, gave her our stomach bug, sorry Sara! Ah, the joys of family life!

3 hours after leaving Sara's house, we arrived at Bear Lake! 

It was one welcome sight!

Alenna and the cousins immediately formed 'the hey girls' club and soon were inseparable!

we spent lots of time with our loved ones...

 ryan and I took a ribbon tying class, he stuck his on Shaylin...

*********************************

NONE of our kids cried this year!!

though Brady kept saying, 'Mema Santa??'

 

Santa's baby...

Brady was SO funny; he ran upstairs, put on his new jammies that Santa brought him, and ran back downstairs to kiss Mrs & Mr Claus goodbye!

.....more to come...
