We ended up leaving for Utah a couple weeks earlier than we had planned (to help out after poor Jess was injured), but before we left Parker had his very first band concert and Lincoln had a kindergarten Christmas activity.
 |
| Sorry, I know you can barely tell that's Parker doing percussion in the middle of the back row, but I feel like if I don't put a picture on the blog (even a bad picture) it's like it didn't really happen! |
 |
| This is his "I got BINGO!" face |
 |
| Lincoln's teacher is the BEST - going out of her way to help Anndra (the only non-student at the party) feel at home |
Once we got to Utah, we split our time between Grandma's house and Aunt Jessie's house. Thankfully Grandy and Grandpa Paul were there to help at Jessie's. I definitely couldn't have handled it on my own!

| Watching my niece's holiday program at school - Lincoln sang along to "Must be Santa" |
Todd was able to join us on Dec 24 so that our family was all together Christmas morning - yay! I'm glad he was there to take these pictures because I was very sick and could barely lift my head to watch the kids open their presents.
We enjoyed a beautiful snow storm and later went sledding.

| sliding down without sleds! silly boys |
We drove back to Montana New Year's Day, but here's a pic from our little celebration the night before at Grandma's house.
