Anyway- Christmas 2009 was one of the best we've had in SLC. I think it was because we packed it full of activities and played a lot in the water... which is always our favorite.
Steve and I also got away for 19 hours thanks to his mom. We stayed at a fabuloso hotel, in the executive suite, got massages, worked out, watched movies, swam, sat in the hot tub for hours... it was heaven really. I want to do this every year.
Here are some other highlights:
We went to lots of indoor water parks! What a GREAT idea. I wish we had these in California, but I don't think anyone can justify it b/c of our warmer weather. Anyway, playing in the water while it's snowing outside is awesome.
This was Steve's almost entire family on our "family" day.
Love water slides. Weren't they the best when you were younger? (and older!)
My kids aren't lovers of snow. Maddie had a great time for mmm 10 minutes, and then she wanted in. In fact, as I type this she is saying "Mom, I don't like the snow." Well, yes, it is cold.
My mom gave our kids the cutest little old fashion sled. Maddie pushed Emilie around for about 2 minutes before she was done.
Christmas Eve, the grandkids got pampered beyond belief. One of Maddie's favorites was Fancy Nancy earings. Here she is showing them off.
She is slightly obsessed with Mary... and always loves covering her head...
My favorite shot of the trip. The jacket was perfect. Thank you Old Navy.
Feeding the ducks with grandpa.
Playing in the snow with cousins...Although it always really hard for us to come home, it was no nice to step out of the plane into 65 degree weather and a little bit of humidity. You can't beat the weather here that is for sure!!

beautiful pics! i love the adorable sled.
Going down a waterslide was the most fun I had in 2009. Where is that cool place? I wish we had one here!
I'm jealous that you get to buy your girls adorable hot pink coats.
Woo hoo... Congrats on the new camera! So glad to hear you had a great time in the COLD. I only wish I could have bumped into you at the indoor pool...
Cannot believe how BIG Emilie is growing!
You're so making me want to go to a water-park right now. The pictures you took are absolutely beautiful. I'm glad that you had a great time. I think your girls and I are in the same boat when it comes to the snow. I'd rather look at it from the comfort of a warm area than be in it.
I didn't know we have indoor water parks! Good to know:) Glad you had so much fun visiting. I love your pictures-your camera is amazing.
What?? It's not always warm and sunny here--peek outside. I think we should all demand a water park in Ca!
Maddie looks so happy in that first shot. Glad you had a wonderful, relaxing, amazing time at the hotel!
It looks like you guys had such a great vacation. I love the picture at the pool of the entire gang!
Wow - looks like you guys had a great time! Kids totally make the best photos - love the pure look of joy on Maddie's face!!
