This Christmas break we decided to rode trip it to Utah and Idaho. We left on the 21 of Dec. and returned on the 30th. Our travels took us through New Mexico, Colorado, Utah and Idaho going over 3,200 miles. We got to see lots of friends and family and a lot of road. This was our usual arrangement for traveling, making full use of our TrailBlazer's space. We made Jason a special tray for his car seat that he could use for playing and eating. Momma got lots of leg room and Daniel got to have a seat next to her. Daddy'O drove the whole time keeping an eye on the mostly icy roads. Jason liked to wear his PJ's Grandma Jeanie made for him when we were driving.
Hey, I look pretty good for having been on the road for over a week now.
Potty Break on the return route home. Pant's are tricky things.
Honk, honk, Grandpa Dave's truck horn is loud. Jason got to go for a ride and press all the buttons in the truck.
Daniel was the first load in Jason's new Dump truck from Grandma & Grandpa Hogg.
We had a nice visit with the boys Great Grandma Ricks, it was Daniels first time to visit her.
Jason and Grandpa Ricks and Daddy'O went out pulling sleds around, but never made it to the hill. We got distracted making snow walls and snow balls.
One of Jason's many cool christmas presents was a Thomas the Tank Engine wooden train with add on pieces from the Ikea train sets (great way to add to the set without breaking the bank).
Daniel opens a present, his own toy train from Grandpa and Grandma Ricks.
Jennifer got a new bike for Christmas, but had to wait until we got home to ride it.
Christmas Eve at Temple Square was wonderful with all the lights.
Daniel and Grandpa Ricks riding the Trax Train for fun.
Jason had so much fun on Christmas Eve, he got to ride a train, see a big dig site with lots of diggers and loaders, hear a bag piper, see horses drawing carraiges and lots of christmas lights, a nativity scene, play with snow and stay up late when the family and Grandpa & Grandma Ricks all went out for dinner.
Daniel dressed as Santa on Christmas Eve to stay warm and look cute.
Jason and cousins Will and Anna play together at Grandpa's house.
While we were in Salt Lake we got to get together with our old college friends and see how all of our families are growing (most have had kids). It was a great visit and fun to see everybody and their families.
