Christmas in Utah was so much fun! We got to participate in all of the family traditions we've missed out on the last few years. We went to temple square to see the lights with my family and we went to the Winder Family party. There was a huge storm on Christmas Eve that kinda changed our Christmas plans but we made the best of it and had a lot of fun. We spent Christmas Eve with the Reese family. We went to the graveyard to sing Christmas carols and light luminares. Then we went back to Tom's parents house to eat, play chimes, and open presents. It was snowing so hard, that we didn't get to drive up to Midway as planned so we ended up staying at the Reese's and spent Christmas morning with them as well. Ainsley and Sam had a wonderful Christmas morning, they were spoiled! Ainsley got a princess castle, ballerina barbie, clothes, and books. Sam got a racetrack, trucks, books, clothes, etc. After opening presents we ate breakfast with the Reeses and then headed up to Midway to spend time with my family.

The day after christams we went to Soldier Hollow to go sledding with my family. it was so fun! We had a blast. Ainsley loved it and went on every run. Tom and I had to take turns sitting with Sam as he and Landon were not allowed to ride on the tubes. We pulled them around a little on the ground, but it was snowing so much that they mostly hung out in the lodge.
Ainsley and Sam loved to play with their cousins.
One thing we did while in Utah was to head down to St. George. It is one of our favorite places to go. Both my granparents and Tom had condos down there when we were young so we grew up spending summers and holidays there. We hadn't been there in years and it was fun to go down and hit all of our favorite places. We went to Snow Canyon to hike around the red rock. This was Ainsley's first time in Red Rock country. She loved it.
