Snow, Lights, Trains, Fireworks......who could ask for anything more?

Ok this post is way overdue and really long. It's so hard to choose just a few pictures I took about 85 and saved about half that to my computer and hopefully I can narrow down this post to maybe half that again.

These are pictures from our trip to South Weber, Utah (Odgen area) to visit Melissa right after Christmas and to see her new house. I've decided it wasn't my old camera but I'm just not that great of a photographer and need to use some sort of photo editing program but I like the pictures all the same.

HANGING OUT AT THE HOUSE - Between Sunday, Ben and Dad working, Ben and Houston snowboarding, Mom always being cold and Melissa with a 5 month old baby, we stayed at the house quite a bit. It was nice to enjoy each other's company and just relax.

SNOW FUN! - Keaton loved the snow but when he was done he was done, big fits and all. T here was enough snow in Melissa's yard we really didn't have to look anywhere else. We build a little sledding ramp off her porch perfect for a 2 year old.

TEMPLE SQUARE - Temple Square in Utah is a lot different than here in AZ. There is tons of lights on the Mesa temple but they are all so close together. The lights were beautiful, took us a while to park but we all enjoyed it.

TRAIN MUSEUM - Keaton loves trains. He has for a very long time so Grandpa and I went to the train museum. They had some old train stuff which was cool but he didn't really understand, they also had some model trains which he loved to watch go in and out of tunnels. Outside they had real train cars. We saw the torch relay train car from the Olympics in Salt Lake and also an old mail and medical car. These things are huge! It took a lot of effort to climb up onto them.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! - Our last night was New Years Eve. We got some sparklers and poppers and it was about 10:00 when we set them off. Keaton was too afraid to hold the sparkler until the very last one, then of course he wanted more. We had some sparkling cider and chips and dip etc. I think I went to be with Keaton around 11.





There are tons more pictures that I really like of Keaton's cute face but these pretty much sum up the trip. It was a nice vacation away from home and always fun to spend time with Melissa, Ben and Braden.
