Thanksgiving was here at our new house and all the Granada's (my family) were here. We had a wonderful feast and a great time together.
Christmas Eve we went to Jons Parents' for dinner and the kids acted out Luke 2, we don't have pics for some reason...I guess we were having too much fun to take pics- oops! Then For Christmas Abuelo and Abuela came to stay over with Lauren to do Christmas morning with us and to watch the boys see what Santa brought. Mom made a real Colombian breakfast. Arepas! Unfortunately all we took was VIDEO :( no pics...sad.
Christmas day we hung out all day at the Wise home opened presents ate, and just sat around, It was so relaxing to just chill with the family. The cousins loved having time with their newest cousin baby Hyrum (Josh and Ash's baby) The boys got their time with Uncle Sean before his mission and Uncle Steevo before his trip back to Utah.
In the midst of it all Jon and I celebrated our 6th yr anniversary at dinner and Jon's soccer game. Romantic...I know. But I love watching him play soccer so it was pretty fun. 2 days later we were all packed up and ready for our Ski trip. Austin got to go skiing for his 5th birthday. He had been sooo excited for weeks. He loves the snow. We drove out until somewhere near Santa Rosa where I-40 was closed going either direction. We were stuck at some gas station with a few dozen other people for 5 hrs. they finally let us outta there at like 10pm, and they opened 40 up again and we safwely got to our hotel in Alba-Q. NM. we arrived in Provo at the Hornes on New yrs eve, showered and played games with them just like the good old days. My fondest memories of Provo all include the Horne's and family games at their dinner table.

Our last night in Utah was spent in SLC, at temple square on my old stomping ground then with some of our Favorite Friends (Brad and Kar and their little tiny baby Perry who happened to be asleep the ENTIRE time!) at Happy Sumo (our favorite sushi)..the boys loved it. We love UT and Miss our Family and Friends there but it's like we never left, the boys asked if they could stay in UT forever, hopefully we wont wait 2 1/2 yrs to go again this time!
