Christmas Day

On Christmas morning we woke up to a lot of snow and drifts. The wind blew all night long with heavy snowfall. Many parts of the valley didn't have this. But those of us who live in the south end of the valley did infact Cory and Tara had over 20 inches. And Krin and Court came from Malad where they were having a blizzard also. Krin said it was the scariest drive ever until they hit Perry, UT. But they made it safely. We were suppose to start at 3 p.m. but because of the huge amount of wet heavy snow Cory and Tara had - Court dropped Elsie and Krin off and went out there at three to help them with his snow blower. Megan and Tyler and Judson came at three. So we waited, waited and waited, finally at five Court, Cory, Tara and Carter (who fell asleep in the car) and Ava came. So we opened gifts and then had a nice Salmon dinner (not the traditional exactly) but we enjoyed it. The storm front finally came through around 7 pm so Cory and Tara left and AJ & my sister took my dad back up to Sunrise. The roads were really bad. And it snowed all night. We got another 8 inches of snow. But this was the nice powdery kind. Because of the storm it was a very rushed celebration. But it was nice to have everyone here for Christmas. I love my family. The kids suprised us with Rock Band (I think it's more for them than us)

That night the storm front came through and we got about 8 more inches of snow - these pictures are from Friday morning we got up at 5:45 cause my sister was flying out so I started snowblowing the driveway. And it snowed most of Friday
