Christmas

We have had a great Christmas time. It will take me a couple of days to get some pictures up but a run down is we headed to Canada with Makayla and Danniqa on Dec 17th. We all got there on one flight which was a close call because they almost didn't let two of us on because the weight of everyone and their baggage on the plane.

We played and played while in Canada, we went to Heritage Park for the "Once upon a Christmas." It was FREEZING but very fun. We went to a live nativity, wave pool, made cookies, watched cousins get a new puppy, played with the cousins a ton and just had a great time with Grandma, Rebecca, Brad and Kids. We love when we get to go up there and Karen can't remember for sure when was the last time Kev was up there close to Christmas so it was great. Then it was time to get home. Flying standby on the 23rd of December......not the smartest thing we ever did.

We first thought we were going to fly direct from Calgary to SLC, then we thought we could go from Calgary to St.Paul Minnesota, to SLC. We would be leaving on a flight at 8:00 in the morning. At 10 that night we looked at the flights and realized there would be no way we were going to get home. So we ended up throwing the girls and all of our stuff in Grandma's car at 10:30 at night, driving to Raymond, Grandma's house and sleeping. We got there at 1am. Then we drove 3 hours to Great Falls Montana and were able to catch a plane home. So we got there just in a very different route. Grandma was wonderful! The upside of that is we got to stop and see Grandma Mae, Kevin's grandma who is 93. It was great to see her for a moment.

Then Christmas Eve Kev and I spent the day with my family. We went to Tiny Tots and read storys and gave candy to some kids who have disabilities and don't have families around. Dashiel and Myles were not sure about it. It was fun to be with my family and we got to talk to Meredith, Zach and Royal on skype. Kevin had to work that night so I spent the night at my dad's.

We got Danniqa and Makayla later on Christmas, we did presents and then went to dinner with Grandpa Taylor and Grandma LeeOra. Overall it has been a great time with Family all month!

Merry Christmas and I love you all!
I promise to put some pictures on but not to many as soon as I can.
