The week of Christmas

We went to Utah for Christmas this year and spent it with the Skinner side of the family. We spent the first day playing and sledding at Ryan's sister, Linsey's home in Bountiful. It was so much fun to have a bunch of the kids together and watching Dane enjoy the snow so much. They have little snowmobiles that we got to ride on through their property and pull people on sleds that were attached to the back.

My niece, Ashlyn, took the boys on a sled ride behind the snowmobile and it had to be one of the cutest things I have ever seen.

Had to get a picture next to the cougar:)

One of the days my parents called and said they wanted to come down and take us to breakfast. It was fun to get together with both of my parents, my sister, Lara, and my cute grandma.

Right when we got home from breakfast, Dane was walking up to the front porch at Ryan's house and slipped on a piece of ice and his face met the corner of the porch's tile step. Everything was COVERED in blood. He had a couple of huge gashes in the outside of his lip from the step and a huge gash on the inside of his lip from his teeth. It was so sad. This picture was taken after we cleaned it off for a while and he had a little while to calm down. His bottom and top lip were swollen and bruised too. So sad:(
Family picture right before everyone started showing up for the big family Christmas Party. Dane had so much fun running around with all of his cousins and was NOT happy that we made him stop for 2 minutes so we could take a picture. He has such a hard life...
