Christmas with Grandma Toni and Grandpa Scott, Sandy, UT (December, 2007)

Ryder is just a little too big for the crib Loni used for her dolls growing up.

Ryder loved being outside in the snow with everybody.

Ryder claimed this snowman as his.

Sawyer and Ryder love spending time with grandma Toni. Our happy family of snowmen only lasted about 8 hours since a huge windstorm blew in the night after we made them.

The sweet sounds of music???

Now those are happy kids!

Ryder wanted to be like his mommy and play Rock Band. Eliza became addicted to this game on Playstation 3.

We were able to spend 10 days in Utah after Christmas and into New Year's. It was great to be able to spend so much time with family and friends. Eliza and Cody were grateful to grandma Toni for watching the kids while they got to go out alone a few times. They went to see "I am Legend" together on one occasion and were able to do a session in the Jordan River Temple on another. It had been a long time since they had been to the Temple and it was great to get back. It was awesome to reunite with so many of our good friends. We were able to see Kyle and Whitney's new house, Kippy's new house, go to "National Treasure - Book of Secrets", go skiing a couple times, play a lot of "Rock Band", cover-up (a new card game we learned), and to experience Ronnie's tubing hill.
