Christmas Travels {Peacock Edition}

This is the first Christmas in nine years that Christian didn't have to work Christmas Eve or the day after Christmas. Although Christian loved working for Costco {not to mention being very good at his job} there are some definite benefits to being out of the retail business around the holiday season.

We left Rock Springs on Christmas Day around 2:15 p.m. The drive that should have taken 3.5 hours took 6.9. When we finally got to Castle Dale we were tired, and frankly sick of the snow. We left sunny {windy} Wyoming to find that Utah was under attack by a giant blizzard.

After nearly seven hours in a car, this is all the hotness we had left! The awesome hat that Dory gave me was a huge bonus, not only is it stylish it keeps the crazy wind out of my ears!


At three years old Carter is an old pro at ripping up some presents. I think having a birthday in November gives him a good warm up for Christmas.


Cali also can get her rip on, here she is ripping into one from Grandma Gwennie and Grandpa Neal. Note: Tyler in his usual chill position in the background. Bethany, we should pool our resources and see how many pictures we have of Tyler in this pose in the background of pictures...

My counselor in Primary drove from Austin to Boise over Christmas and she was stuck in Wyoming with road closures -- not fun. So glad you made it there and back safely!

I'm glad you guys made it home and back safely in all the snowy weather. What's in those big boxes they are unwrapping?
