Visiting Utah and Arizona

I'm absolutely positive that this is our last year going home for Christmas.  I know that part of it is because I was pregnant, but talk about an exhausting vacation!  We flew out on the 19th to Utah.  This was our first time flying to Utah for Christmas, and what an experience it was!

Because of the worse than they anticipated snowstorm, SLC flights were delayed and totally crowded.  We had a layover in Denver that was pushed back a couple of hours.  I am so thankful that we weren't stranded in Denver.  We ended up getting to my parents house around midnight.  Both boys were passed out, exhausted and went straight to sleep in their regular clothes.

I am so thankful that my boys are amazing at traveling for the most part.  No issues at all, except when they started getting cranky, of course.

We enjoyed our time in Utah.  I don't have as near as many pictures from Arizona.  But, we had a lot of fun visiting Arizona as well.  I think we especially enjoyed all the lovely weather in Phoenix.

Logan was super excited to see that he got a vacuum cleaner from Nana and Papa.

I love how happy Evan is in this picture

This boy loved all the sledding action!

I got a couple of pictures of Evan and Logan on a hike in Arizona, but I didn't feel like putting them up yet.  They had a lot of fun in Phoenix with the whole family.  We were just fighting colds and stomach bugs the entire time that we were gone!  We're looking forward to driving out to Arizona this August for Maria and Scott's wedding.  And we'll have to see about Utah for Christmas...after all the crazy stuff that happened on our flight there and on our flight home, I think we might be homebodies next year.
