Vines Family Christmas Party 2011

 Kids presents, gift exchange games, Mexican food and Jeff's Oreo Cookie Ice Cream Dessert!

A Utah Christmas

We loaded the kids, suitcases, snacks, presents, car activities and movies and drove to Utah.

We left at 5am on the 22nd and despite a puking Saylor, frequent potty breaks and some snow through Cedar City, we made it is about 11 hours. Oh , and Harold out Elf even hitched a ride with us.

We were quite excited to make it to Grandpa Steve and Grandma Teri's.

The week included a service project, trips to Provo and back, "Jump On It" trampolines, Trax to see the Christmas lights at Temple square, family dinners, raquetball (Ben, his dad and Brynn), Christmas chaos, hot chocolate, no snow, a visit to Sundance, thrift stores and a handful of really exhausted kids(and mom).
