Hitting the Slopes

**I am itching to post about resolutions and organization ideas I have started for the New year--but I just have to finish up with all the fun from our trip to Utah first:)

The boys didn't let the complete lack of snow on the ground around town, or the reports that it was the driest December on record for Utah stop them from hitting the slopes for their much anticipated ski days.  
When we moved to Tennessee we left our skis in Grandpa and Grandma's garage with promises of ski trips to Utah.  And we have kept that promise--even this year with not the best (terrible) conditions.
Connor outgrew his skis and TJ wanted to snowboard this year, so a stop for rentals was the first order of business.
 Even though the locals called the snow horrible this year (mostly man made) our boys thoughts it was AWESOME!!  I guess they are officially 'Southerners' now:)

Bridger skied for the first time. 
 I didn't go (since Cannon doesn't ski yet--I stayed with him) but I hear that Bridger was a natural. After a half day of ski school he was off--flying down the mountain, er I mean bunny hill, with no problems:)


 The perfect ending to a warmish and happy day of skiing--Frozen Yogurt with lots of toppings!

Yum!

Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert

After traveling all day with 5 boys, I look a little tired--but  I was so happy to be "home" again:)

Straight from the airport --my Mom, sister, Coleman and I headed for Temple Square:)
Grandpa took the rest of the gang home for dinner and the BYU game on TV!


After a fabulous dinner at one of Utah's Cafe Rios (Yum--how I miss that place) we headed for the Conference Center for an absolutely heavenly Christmas Concert.


A very fuzzy iphone picture with my sweet sister Mindy.  I sure miss this girl!
After the concert we enjoyed the beautiful lights on temple square as we hurried to our car:)  It was freezing--especially for us wimpy Southerners:) We are looking forward to going back to see the lights with the rest of the family later in the week! 
They were breathtaking!

Here is a little sample of what we got for almost two hours.
It felt like we were listening to angels sing.
I loved every minute!

Over the Country and Through the Skies to Grandmother's House we Go

We finally reached the end of our paperchain countdown and it was time to go!
This picture is so funny--I snapped it quickly before we left for the airport with my phone and look he was in the middle of dropping it! ha


At the airport bright and early! 
And we are off!  Atlanta to Salt Lake City!! 
Wooo hoooo!!!
Coleman got some pretty cool pictures from the plane:)
