Brian and Jackie: Christmas in Utah

We flew out to Salt Lake on the Sunday before Christmas to spend the next 8 days with my family. Bobby did well on the flight and continued to win over people both behind and in front of him on the plane. I love happy babies. Anyways, first order of business when we got to my parent's house was to check out the new bounce house in the basement.

Bobby enjoyed it at the beginning...

...and quickly fell in love.

Grandpa got in for some of the lounging action.

We drove up to Beaver early that week so we could ski the backside of the mountain to ourselves. We had great weather and it's always fun skiin the beav.

We got a decent storm but it was so warm and actually started raining towards the end so the snow didn't stay long. I did what I could for the snow hill in the back yard. Dad's plow sure helped out a lot.

As you can see, Bobby was a little tipsy

"I can't put my arms down!"

We had fun hanging out with Grandpa

and grandma.

Cousin Jack grew out of his shoes after a week so my brother gave them to Bobby. He has about 4 years to grow into them.

Bobby passed up the more prestigious role of baby Jesus for a shot to be one of the wise men.

Turns out the wise men included both wise women and children.

This is when Jack and Lily both realized that baby Jesus was being played by their little sister, Isabel.

Sometimes it's more entertaining to watch the 12 camera people recording the show.

Grandma wanted a turn.

Back to Grandpa.

Even Jack wanted a picture with the babies.

That night in Logan, Bobby slept in the closet at the Marriot.

We were supposed to fly home Monday morning at 7 am but once I heard almost everyone would be up skiing at Beaver, I changed our flights. I couldn't pass up a family ski day. Especially since it had been a few years since I was around.
