Our Christmas "Vacation"

Our vacation up to Utah wasn't all doom and gloom (although to be honest it kindof was).  We were still able to have some fun with family.

Went to the Newgate Mall and rode the train and played on the playground:

Went to the treehouse museum with Brooklyn and Mason.  Carson's favorite part was the parachute.  He was at that thing for over half an hour.  He loved pulling the parachute up the rope and then dropping them to see them float back down.  My job was to put the parachute back on the rope for him to do it all over again.

Tanners favorite part was the life size chess set.

 Went Bowling at BYU.  Carson loves to bowl.

We were also able to go to the sealing of our newest Mickelson cousin to his family

Saw the Ogden Christmas Lights

Opened the cousins Christmas gifts

Made and decorated a gingerbread train

Had the annual Forsyth Christmas party.  

The Grinchmas.

We ate some yummy food, did the 12 days of Christmas:

Carson was the partridge in a pear tree

and Tanner was the French hen, which he hated and mom had to take over.

We played bunco, and the kids hit the pinata

kissed under the mistletoe

and played the drums

Although a lot of our time was spent here:

and here:

At the Utah Valley Regional Hospital.  Spending time with Aaron.  Wouldn't want to be anywhere else.
