We got to spend 5 days there and it was a fun time like always! The kids couldn't wait to get there and play with the cousins & hang out with Grammie & Papa.
Aunt Kenzie flew in from New York, the kids were sure excited to see her!
We ate lots of good food, played games, the ladies did a fun craft, the guys stayed up till all hours of the night playing video games, we got to visit lots and relax a little, and enjoy opening too many gifts from each other :)
Aunt Ramey, whose always the coolest, made sugar cookies for Santa with all of the kids --there was flour flying everywhere and her kitchen was a wreck but they sure had a blast! (And of course, it didn't phase Ramey!)
We spent Christmas eve at my cousins house with all of my Mom's extended family --it was fun to do the usual Christmas eve dinner, Nativity reenactment & white elephant gift exchange. Laex & Loa got to be 'Mary & Joseph', they were sure cute!
The kids were a bit worried Santa wouldn't find them in Vernal, but he did! I'm still enjoying the fact that the kids aren't quite at the age where they are up at all hours of the night to see what Santa brought :) we got to sleep till 7:30 and it was nice :) We headed back for home around 10:30 am on Christmas Day. We grabbed a hot dog at the convenience store for lunch (that's all that was open on Christmas day in the middle-of-nowhere Wyoming on our trek home) and we were happy to FINALLY arrive back home 5 1/2 hours later! It's always nice to be home but I sure hate the 'aftershock' of being out of town, a ton of crap to unpack and put away, grocery shopping that needs done & mountains of laundry, ugh!
