A Utah Christmas

On Christmas day, my brother, parents, and I flew out to Utah.


When we landed there wasn't any snow, but the next morning, on our "Christmas", we got a white one.


We got to see quite a few relatives, including Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle Steve, Aunt Pat and Uncle Boyd, cousins Wil and Connor, and Aunt Merna and Uncle Willis. We spent most of our time playing games and laughing - both things that my family is known to do.


Opening presents, Grandma got what she's been waiting over a year for - wedding pictures. I gave her some prints as well as a book. She loved it.


Another present hit was Jakob's new shirt. Very fitting.


By the end of the night we had a pretty cool surprise.


The next day, Jake really wanted to see Uncle Willis' Buick that he's been restoring.
It looks pretty awesome!


On our last night, we convinced our parents to walk around the town center so we could see their Christmas light display. It was amazing. It was multiple blocks of amazing Christmas houses and lights!


The next day, we said goodbye to our family, the mountains, and the snow.


Happy New Year's Eve to everyone! What are your plans tonight?
