The cure for the blues

I have to admit it. The winters here are LONG!! Especaially when it is below zero for more than 3 weeks! We get THE BLUES...The winter blues! SO....the best cure we have found is basketball AND grandparents coming to visit! It has been a year since they have been down to see us, so it was very special!
Since we don't ski, basketball is what keeps us going. Mitch has been playing great and had a game high of 29 points while grandma and grandpa were here to watch! He can get up high!
Of course we had to complete the visit with a massive cereal fest. I think they bought out Albertsons. Our favorite is Reeses puffs and we got grandpa going on it too!

It is about time...Christmas time!

We started our Christmas events down in SLC..going to basketball games, shopping and seeing the lights at Temple Square. It was snowing when we were there and was so beautiful!
It was great to have the whole family home for the holidays! Seeing them all laugh and joke around together until wee hours of the morning!!
The snow really hit and Trey found a way to take advantage of his sisters strengths.
Don't forget Christmas PJs. We then entered the sub-zero weather!! Yuck. These came in quite handy.
