Snowshoeing with the Family

This year the snow was PERFECT for snowshoeing during Christmas break

This is on top of Suncrest which looks over the valley

The best way to go down ;)

Our next trip was to Donut Falls up Big Cottonwood Canyon

Actually, it's a very easy hike…just a little tricky to get to the cave

It was worth the climb!!

VERY FUN DAY!!

Merry Christmas!

COOKIES FOR SANTA!

The kids humor me with this picture every year ;)

Another tradition…sleeping downstairs ALL CHRISTMAS BREAK!

Ready to come upstairs…Grandma and Grandpa helped sing "Jingle Bells" as they walked up

Jac is a LITTLE excited about her sweatshirt

 

Favorite Pez characters…Spiderman (of course) Thor and R2D2

Christmas Eve

Happy Christmas Eve!
This year we spent the day with the Parish's and Grandma and Grandpa Whiting

Gingerbread houses and Starwars creations were a hit!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

It was a wonderful evening with white elephant gifts and watching a darling nativity video. We ended the night with our testimonies of Christ…a perfect way to celebrate our Saviors birth!

It's a Heaps Christmas party!

The annual Heaps Christmas party was at our house this year
 

We ate yummy food, enjoyed some great white elephant gifts and of course, each others company!
