Too Much Snow!!!!

We went to Utah for the Christmas holidays and I (Tom) can truly say that I don't like the cold, snowy weather! When we were driving to the Atlanta airport to catch the flight to Utah it was 70 something degrees. When we landed in Utah - it was COLD!
Needless to say, it snowed a lot while we were in Utah and the girls loved it. We had a hard time rounding up snow clothes for them but I am glad that they got to experience a winter like I had growing up here in Utah. They didn't seem to mind the cold at all. We shoveled the driveway and sidewalks several times a day and we even had a snowball fight and built a snowman. I have to say that Aunt Kari is brutal with the snow balls. I still prefer warmer Georgia winters though.





I love Rachel's hat in this one. Papa was teaching Rachel how to shovel snow and she jumped right in and did it with him.

Later everyone made me sit in the teachers desk. I missed it just a little bit!! You probably can't tell, but it was blazing hot that day!

Everyone looks so cute. Where are Katie's pants? They are out drying in the heat! She feel asleep in the car on the way there and had a little accident.

Kristin would have liked this trip!

We took advantage of Grandpa's talent and built this computer desk in a couple of days. It is soo nice!! Now We have a real place for the computer and I want to do the bills up her too. I'll add a completed picture when Tom puts them onto the computer from the camera.

We celebrated Grandpa Richards' birthday here.
