Sunny Southern Utah Christmas Trip!

Christmas Eve we went to the Anderson family party at Whit's sister's house.  We had a cousin's gift exchange and Edie is the youngest so she got to open her present first!  She didn't really understand what to do, but she loves the little book and puzzle she got :)

Winston did a little better at ripping the paper, but not much.  He still needed help.  But he was so excited to get some balls for the bath.  He loves bath time!  

Christmas morning we woke up and drove down to Spanish Fork to open presents there.  Winston and Edie almost posed in front of the Christmas tree :)  They had fun playing with their new toys!

And then of course they wanted to watch Bob on my parent's new tv :)

After lunch we all got in the car and headed south.  It was such a peaceful trip at first, both kids slept all the way to Cedar City where we stopped to feed Edie.  They took turns crying on and off the rest of the way there, but luckily we stayed pretty close to St George so the last part of the trip wasn't too long.

 They day after Christmas we went hiking in Zions!  It was still pretty cold, but it was beautiful to hike in the park.  It's been a few years since I've been down there, and it was fun to see it all again.

 Winston wasn't a big fan of being in the backpack, so my dad carried him on his shoulders for a hike.

 Edie didn't like being in the backpack either, so we took turns carrying her as well!  Good thing we did all the easy hikes :)

 Winston did love being outside.

 I enjoyed seeing everything in the cold--we saw lots of snow and ice.

 On our way back to the cabin we stopped at the St. George Temple.


 Friday we went to the Valley of Fire in Nevada.  It was much warmer and so neat to hike around!  We all loved it!




 We did lots of little hikes and got to see some beautiful scenery.

 We had to get at least one picture of Edie in the backpack.  She started crying right after I took this picture :)

 Winston loved riding on Uncle Dallin's shoulders!

 And he fell asleep at the end of one hike,

poor guy got worn out.

And then he cried for most of the trip home on Saturday.  We kept him happy by feeding him m&ms, and he eventually fell asleep.  I love the chocolate drool mark mustache!  What a fun and tiring trip :)
