We drove to Utah and it was kind of nice because Erika came with us and sat in the back with the kids. Lets just say it saved my back! Usually i'm having to turn around and pretty much crawl to the back seat every time one of the kids needs something. It was much nicer this way I have to say;). The kids actually did really good on the drive. Right when we pulled in we had 1/2 an hour to get ready and then we headed up the canyon for the Goeckeritz family part. We went to mutual dell. Man, I haven't been there in so long! I remember going there with my friends when I was in highschool, we went up there to play around and take pictures. I also remember going for Nate and Angie's marriage. I was so sick that day and could barely stand up when I was suppose to be the bridesmaid. The canyon was always such an awesome, fun place to go with my friends. I can't even remember all the times I went up there to make a fire and hang out with my friends. Such good times for sure! I also remember going up a ton when Toby and I were dating. We went snowmobiling and hiking and for lots of drives! I remember when he took me around the loop and when we were up there we turned on some music and had a little dance party. Hilarious and so fun! Anyways, wow lots of flash backs.
So the reunion went well. It was cool to see everyone but weird to since I didn't know anyone really since it has been so long.
We stayed at Toby's parents that night and the next night and had their whole christmas celebration then. The girls had their cousins sleep over one night and they giggled all night long! I love the excitement that comes with christmas. I love being around family and seeing my kids have so much fun with their cousins. I feel bad that they can't see them more!!
After all the awesome fun at the Goeckeritz house we drove up to Logan. We brought aaron in our car. He is living in Nebraska so we hardly ever see him. I love when he hangs out with us, it is always so fun and he and Toby always make things exciting and definitely keep me entertained!
The exciting thing about Christmas this year is almost everyone in my family was able to sleep over up at my mom's house on Christmas Eve. It was such a blast hanging out together all night and playing games and talking. (well mostly wrapping presents). I had a million to wrap since we shipped them all so everyone pitched in and helped get it done. My family is the greatest! I am so grateful for them!!
Santa did good this year! He gave Brooklyn a new bike and Nikell got a convertible car. Presly got a little bike herself that is like a stroller now and turns into a little trike when she is older. Santa was smart and took their presents to our house in CA and just sent pictures for the girls to see. Santa got me new bar stools and Toby got a gun safe. What a fun christmas!! 
While in Utah Toby took the girls up to park city and Brooklyn got to ride her own snowmobile. She had so much fun! When we got home from Utah the girls were so excited to play on the toys santa had brought them!
