Our Full Christmas Report

We are finally back from our trip. OUR CAR MADE IT!!! :0) We had a wonderful time and overall it was a surprisingly relaxing vacation considering the the fact that it was a 13 day long road trip with two babies under two, three separate car repairs, and that we had eight different destinations. Here is a short list of our vacation high lights:



-Drove to Vegas: the kids did great, we were so excited to see the family, kids loved loved the fish and doggy too.
-BYU Bowl Game: Dad Ras got tickets to the BYU bowl game. It was so much fun! It was Bridger's first foot ball game. And what a Finish!!!! Bridger doing"Touch Down"!









-Christmas Celebration: It was truly memorable, many tears of gratitude and joy Christmas morning especially with the announcement of Kolby's birth :0)

Us Christmas Eve
- Stew found his new favorite game: "the Skittle Game", Basically he got to eat as many skittles as he would ever want. :0)
- Liz's Temple Day: We loved being able to share that with her!
-Then we had our long saga of trying to get to Utah. We finally got our car thanks to many Good Samaritans.
-We got to stay with Grandma Larsen: which meant we got to see Doug and Jen's fun family and see grandma a lot. We felt like we were back home in Provo again.
- Hang'n with Grandma and Grandpa Ras : it felt like we were back again doing our regular Sunday visits.












- Hang with Megan and Dan: always good times and congrats on being pregnant!
- See KOLBY!!!!: he is so cute. He gave me my first baby hunger since Angi's birth.(no I am not going to announce anything soon) :o)
-go to the Larsen Christmas party: we loved playing ticket to ride and seeing everybody
- go to the temple with Liz and tons of family again: it is so good to be in the celestial room with so many family members.
- we got to go to our old ward: It felt like we had come home. We loved seeing everyone again and catching up












- Had Sunday dinner with David and Sherri: the food and company were out of this world!Grandma and Doug's family were there too!
- New year's Eve with Bob's beautiful fun family: We adore them and love teasing them about all the kids' love interests
- Hang'n with Eden and John: We loved hugging on their adorable new baby and their house is so beautiful, we are a bit jealous! :0)
- Eden cut my hair so so so cute: She should really do hair on the side!!! For now on she is going to be my hair stylist!!!
