Utah or Bust!

Christmas morning (and afternoon) at the Ingleby's

We did eventually make it to Utah! We had SUCH a wonderful time. We loved it. We truly enjoyed seeing family and friends and introducing Grant to everyone for the first time and Aaron to some for the first time. We stayed with Mike's sister Ann and her husband Adam. They were such great hosts and we truly appreciated their generosity. It was really fun to spend time with them and their fun, spunky boy Jake. Today Aaron has been saying, "I wanna play with Cousin Jake." Apparently, he misses him. We also enjoyed seeing Mike's brother, cool Uncle David. Now Aaron has two Uncle David's of whom he is very fond.

We saw many dear friends and relatives. We traveled to the home of Traci's parents in Kaysville one evening to see Jon, Kathryn, and their children who drove up from Cedar City. What a fun reunion that was! We also saw all of my mom's siblings, their spouses, and some cousins one afternoon at a lovely dinner at Ed and Marsha's. We also saw the Ambrose family (from Roseburg) and Mike spent a day cross-country skiing and biking with Chad. We also had a fun day at the Henry home in Springville. (Thanks to Greg and Mindy for wonderfully hosting the crowd!) I also saw Stephanie Halliday, Mollie Olorenshaw, and Melody Murdock. We loved every aspect of the trip! Even the flights weren't bad. Grant and Aaron did relatively well. I would say this was one of our best trips yet! We enjoyed the trip very much and are so thankful to all who made it possible -- namely, the Ingleby's for graciously opening their home and the Golding's for offering their sporty SUV to us for the week. We feel very blessed to have good friends and family. We are now optimistically looking forward to a great 2010!
