Holiday Adventures Out West...

It was freezing out West! We got 18 inches there on Christmas Eve while visiting Brad's family!

This is actually before we left out West, Milah and her friend Clara were exchanging gifts and taking pic's in their first Christmas shirts I found.

CRHISTMAS MORNING!The doll is a hit! She loves it.

Our igloo we made! Okay Brad finished it,but I helped a lot at the beginning!
McCall Idaho. Our cousins left a day earlier and took the sled... we made our own for our walk :)
Five of us seven close girl friends were able to get together!!! We are all spread across the U.S. and all met in SLC for a day!

These are a very FEW of our adventures out west for the holidays. I forgot to get pic's from family member's (you know they are all better at taking pics than me.) I do have more of Milah's first sledding adventure with her cousin's that I'll have to post. We were out west for like 3 weeks. There would be way too many pic's to post anyway...so I will write some of our favorite things from Utah and Idaho. We had a blast and miss everyone already. Milah's first Christmas was priceless!

Idaho:
*Snowboarding, snowshoeing, cross country skiing
*Dad's homemade hot fudge over vanilla ice cream..night after night!!
*Ghost town- movie THIS IS A MUST SEE
*Dinner cook off competition (our prize is a surprise in the mail!)
*treats after treats after treats
*hot tubbing every night
*FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY! (Webb side)

Utah:
*Sledding, hooking sleds behind four wheelers on the snow packed roads
*igloo
*Hogle Zoo winter lights
*This is the Place Monument/little city/park and dinner
*Booby trapping the hall with Mel and Jeff so the kids couldn't get to the presents with out us knowing! (bells, beads, motion detectors, huge blow up santa etc!)
* Meeting up with close girlfriends
*FAMILY FAMILY FAMILY (Martin side)

ha ha ha ha ha!! I love the cardboard sled! I made one for Isaac when he was the same age, and Paul mocked me to no end -- then went and bought a real one the next day!

Glad to hear you got to visit a ton with all your family. I'll bet your mom and dad absolutely LOVED seeing Milah! (and you and Brad, of course!)
