We had our family Christmas party at Cindy's house. It was tons of fun. We really enjoyed being surrounded by family, especially Alexis' cousins. They're the best.

Ice skating
We had a ton of fun ice skating. Ben, Alexis and Hannah played tag.
We made a snowman on Christmas, I guess Alexis was still hungry. Apparently the snowman was too tempting.
We also made snow forts for our snowball fight.
Temple square was freezing. I don't ever, ever remember being that cold. Neither does Alexis.
We also went cross-country skiing and tubing at Jolley's Ranch, up Springville Canyon.
Brick Oven
Of course, we had to have dinner at Brick Oven. Alexis was so happy to be able to drink rootbeer, last time we were there she had her braces on. It tasted so, so good. So many memories at Brick Oven. As a child, this was always a favorite of mine for my birthday lunch. My mom would always treat me to pizza, salad, applebeer, and a sucker. They're so yummy.
Rocky Mountains
The mountains are absolutely beautiful, especially when they're covered in snow. I found myself constantly admiring them, taking it all in. I even missed snow, is that possible? Had I gone crazy? I was always complained about it, being away -- even if only for a few months -- I was so happy to see so much of it. It snowed and snowed and snowed some more. I even caught myself wanting it to snow more. One day when it was snowing, the snowflakes were huge. The biggest I've seen in a long time. They were slowly falling down from the sky. It was absolutely beautiful. I felt like I was in a snowglobe.
Snow Angels
We went home for Christmas. It was the best Christmas ever!!! It was so nice to be around family and friends, and sleeping in every day was pretty awesome, too. We had a great time with all new snow. Alexis and Sydney had to make snow angels. Every morning Alexis would bundle up, and play in the snow at Grandma Nichols'.
