The Best Trip EVER


We dove to williams arizona the week before christmas. we hung out in the pub and had dinner. i kept the kids occupied with puzzles and crayons.

M ran into the waitress and she accidently spilled wine all over danny. wups

the dads and kids hung out in the cute lobby/lodge area while us girls searched the town for bathing suits
the next day we drove to the amazingly breathtaking grand canyon.



the boys hiked down a bit.




and then what we had all been waiting for THE POLAR EXPRESS












and then and then oh......it SNOWED...this is what made it the best trip EVER



we ended the evening with lots of playing in the magic.

the next day it continued to snow but just a bit. so of course we built a snowman, well the dads helped the kids and i warmed myself by the huge fire.




we were trying to take a sweet family picture, when ryan kicked the tree and this happened.


tatum ended the trip by warming herself up. then we drove home.

the 7 hour drive really was not bad. i love road trips. we listened to two of the narnia books, watched movies and listened to christmas music. ahhhh it was a trip i will never forget. i don't think the kids will ever forget seeing it snow either.

Goodness it looks like a magical vacation... I love the trips where it all just comes together beautifully. And snow! Who doesn't love snow?! I would live in the snow, well winter time, any day.

Hope you guys had a Merry Christmas.
