Christmas in Utah

 We left around 6:30am on the 23rd to go to Utah. Aiden was pretty excited to go visit Grandma & Grandpa. Here are some pictures from our Utah visit!
 Long 14 hour drive. Jerel and switched every 3 hours and only stopped at gas stations.
 Jade was happy to get a little brake from her car seat.
 They did really well for the most part. Jade wasn't happy by the time we got to Provo and just wanted out. Aiden was really good and shared the iPad.

Surprising Grandma Neesey & Papa Al. We got there around 9:30pm.
Jade was a little on the shy side and wasn't sure about everyone holding her. She mostly just wanted Mommy to hold her.
 The next day I took Aiden to visit my mom before Grandpa Eldon's Christmas Eve party, while Jade napped. I called her before hand to make sure she was home and told her I would call her right back but instead she got a knock at the door. She sure wasn't expecting to see Aiden and I.
 At Grandpa Eldon's Christmas Eve party. Aiden & Jade sitting on Grandpa Al's lap.

We surprised Trevor & Michelle at the party. Uncle Trevor & Jade.
 Meeting Uncle Tanner for the first time.

 Jade got a My Little Pony tea set & two My Little Ponies from Grandma Neesey & Papa Al.
 Opening Tanner & Amy's gift.

 Aiden broke his orange hard hat so he got a new yellow one with an A on it. Cute all in yellow.
 Jade loved her fisher price sister pup.

 Ready to go visit Grandma & Grandpa Achatz.
 Jade & Hannah. Oldest & youngest grandkids daughters on the Achatz side.
 Jade & Emma. They are 1 year apart.

 Jade & Grandpa Achatz. We surprised my dad, he didn't know we were coming either and my mom didn't tell him. He jumped up and gave me a hug. Nice to be missed.

 Aiden found Uncle Josh's headphones and new exactly what to do with them. Just like Daddy!

 For New Years Eve we celebrated at Jerel's parents and invited my parents, my brother Joshua & my sister Natalie & her family. Alisha was sick so she couldn't come :(
 Jade and I before bedtime, Aiden was already asleep.


 We had a lot of fun playing games with my nieces while the boys watched a movie downstairs- except my dad & Scott who fell asleep early.
 Aiden and Emma had fun running around the house playing together.
  Aiden taught Jade naughty things...


  Jade and Papa Al.
  Can't get enough of that Papa!


 Jade gigles. I have a video of Aiden giggling with Papa Al too.
  Jade & Aiden playing on Grandma Neesey's treadmill. For some reason it is a kid magnet. 


 Jade working on her fitness. :)

  Aiden and Jade really liked Belle!
 I'm sitting her wondering if I the wrong child got a baby doll for Christmas. :) Aiden loves Jade's baby doll.


 Christmas night my nephew Hunter fevered and wasn't feeling good but was fine the next day. But then Jaxon wasn't feeling good fallowed by Brooklyn and then Alisha so we didn't get to see as much of them as I would have liked. I was however lucky enough to be able to go to the temple with my Mom, sister Alisha, Grandma and Aunt Kathy the day before Alisha got sick. The last day we were in Utah we got to spend the day with Alisha and her kids.

We then went to dinner with my parents, Jerel's parents & Alisha & her kids.
  Aiden & Jaxon. They were talking about their cookies.

  Saying bye bye.

 Bye bear! See ya later! We sure had a great time visiting family and time passes oh so quickly. So glad we were able be with family for the holidays. Sure missed my brother Ryan & his family & Ash & hers but other than that it was a great visit.
