All year I SOOO look forward to that long holiday break to be with family, eat way too much food, RELAX, go to a movie every day, and un-wind from a busy BUSY year.
Here are some pictures I snapped over the break…
For my work holiday party we went night skiing at Snowbird!
You could ski right up to an indoor s’more/hot chocolate bar.
YUM.
I also got another taste of chocolate by kissing these precious cheeks!
We babysat the boys again and I couldn’t believe how tired we were at the end of each day.
But for reals…. Do Mom’s even need to go to the gym?!
Changing them out of their pajamas was my cardio for the week I swear.
A trip to the INCREDIBLE Macy’s windows during a downtown cousins sleepover was necessary.
We also babysat Castine one night (my dream come true.. I love her so dang much).
I was obsessed with this Hot Chocolate stand her mom had set up for the kids!
All different hot chocolate mixes, candy canes, mugs, marshmallows, the WHOLE shabang!
Isn’t it to die for?
I am copying it the second I have little kiddies of my own 🙂
orrrr maybe just right now….
Christmas Eve day at The Christmas Carol
Hands down the highlight of my ENTIRE break was talking to my little brother who is currently serving a mission in Peru.
We only get to talk to him via Skype on Christmas & Mother’s Day so it’s safe to say we were all bawling our eyes out.
OKAY FINE
My dad and I were the only ones crying who cares.
Is he not the cutest ever???
If you want his e-mail let me know……
(I need that sly looking emoji inserted right here so I don’t sound so creepy)
My favorite Christmas tradition is going to my grandparents Christmas morning for German Pancakes. My little German grandpa makes them perfectly and I eat them in the same seat every year….
And with a HUGE (basically first) snowfall Christmas morning it was prettier than ever!
Those…those are prettier than ever too.
My mom and little brother performed in Savior of the World down at the Conference Center the last 2 months.
They were INCREDIBLE.
My little brother was Nathan and was the only child singing soloist.
Saturday night was closing night for them and I couldn’t keep it together.
His little angelic voice and the entire message will be something I will cherish forever.
(he’s single too… but not yet k)
And alas I was finally feeling better so we had lunch with some friends at the St. Regis resort up in Deer Valley.
THAT PLACE IS UNREAL.
I have never really been able to afford to ski at Deer Valley so being up there even for a second is straight up magical.
Here’s to another busy busy year with hopes of having an amazing break at the end of it!!
