New Year's trip home

Me and the girls flew to Las Vegas after Christmas to spend New Year's and a couple weeks with family.  We spent most of our time in Las Vegas.  But for New Year's we went up to my parent's cabin in Pine Valley, Utah.  They had more snow then I've ever seen there!  It was so much fun.  The kids had a blast playing in the snow.  This is the first time Eve has ever seen snow.  

Monique and her sister Hannah met us at the cabin.  It was SO good to see them!
Cousin Emma.  Her and Veda are BFFs.  They had sleep overs almost every night we were there.  They are so adorable together.  

Veda sledding down the driveway.  Notice the tractor behind her.  It was plowing our driveway and got STUCK there for days.  That's how much snow there was!

My little Hawaiian snow bunnies.

Eve is in LOVE with her cousin Liam.  She would sit as close to him as she could while he had his treatments.  I think she knew that he couldn't escape her while he was hooked up to the vest.  (Liam has Cystic Fibrosis and has to do 2 hours of "treatments" a day.  Wearing this vest that vibrates his chest is part of the treatment.  He also has multiple breathing treatments, nebulizers, and medications he has to take each day.)  He handles all of it like a true hero.  We are ALL in love with him, come to think of it!  :)

We even got to see Grandma and Grandpa Parker who braved driving the snowy roads to Pine Valley to see us.  It was wonderful to have them join us at the cabin for some games and quality time.  I remember taking pictures of them, but it must have been with their cameras.  Duh!  Kaylee, you'll have to send copies of those to me.  :)  Love you guys.  Thanks for coming to see us!  

Our Merry Christmas

What a Christmas!  This was our first Christmas on our own.  It was so relaxing and felt nice to be at home and not traveling.  Here are the girls on Christmas morning... notice how dark it is outside!  They woke up at 5 am.  Ouch!   They were so much fun this year.  

Me with my shnazzy new MacBook.  I LOVE having my own computer.  No waiting in line to use it, or wondering why all my files on the desktop have been deleted.   Thanks honey!  

Travis gave the girls a Wii.  This is Travis and Veda boxing.  True meaningful family fun.  

                                                   I love a good Christmas mess!

The girls gave Travis Guitar Hero to go with the Wii.
We rocked out all day long... and into the wee hours of the night!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas as well.  We were big losers this year and didn't send out cards, so a belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
