The girls had a lot of fun on the airplane to Utah. I should have sat between them. The people in front of us didn't have as much fun as they had. The lady in front of us turned around twice to ask them to stop kicking the seat and be quieter. Ooops:)
Sledding and snowmobiling at Grandma and Grandpa's cabin was one of the highlights of the trip for my girls. Frozen pipes in the cabin just added to our adventure.
My family thought I was silly when I insisted on stopping and taking a picture of my girls by this statue/fountain thing in the middle of a round-about in Idaho Falls. I don't live in Idaho any more so I felt like a tourist...
We had a great time bowling with 16 children and 5 adults. What a great family party!
After bowling, we enjoyed pizza and a great playland at Leo's Place (similar to Chuck E. Cheese).
The gingerbread and nativity display at the Idaho Falls Museum was very nice. It was also free. Hooray for free activities!
We enjoyed a visit at the Idaho Falls Temple Visitor Center where Grandpa and Grandma are serving a mission. I hope the kids were listening when Grandma told us how much she loved the Savior.
We really enjoyed Ballet West's production of The Nutty Nutcracker. The choreography was amazing and the humorous addition of famous Hollywood characters made it very entertaining and full of surprises. Some of the surprises included Luke Skywalker as the Nutcracker prince, a Darth Vader mask on the Rat King, and Clara dressed as Dorothy.
We spent two nights at a fun water park hotel. We welcomed in the new year with several family members by eating too much free food provided by the hotel, swimming (the pool was open until midnight), and playing games.
We were exhausted by the time our trip was over. All three of us slept a lot at the airport and on the plane ride home.
The sky was clear and we enjoyed looking at beautiful snow-covered mountains. Mt. Rainier was our favorite.
This is a long movie, but it is filled with wonderful memories of our fabulous vacation with our family.

Those snow pics are super fun!
Loved it Stacey, I really want a copy of the one with the kids by the Christus, and the nutcracker. Thanks for a wonderful vacation!
I love seeing all of your photos that you share and this video too. It brings back memories of some of the old ward activities we had in Goshen. I wish I had known you were in town and I would have run down to Leo's to meet you all. I miss your mom and dad too. I will have to stop and see them in the T.Ctr the next time I go to the Temple. I didn't know they were doing a mission there. Have a super and Happy New Year.
