Family Pictures

Since we were all together we were able to have family pictures taken. I think they turned out AMAZING considering all of the kids involved.

Cheese Factory

There is a small cheese factory close by to Nana and Grandpa's house that we were able to tour while there.

He was making a batch of mozzarella cheese. It takes 12 hours and he mixes it by hand!


All of the cheese stored in the fridge.


Upstairs in the factory (which was like a barn) was this sleigh. We told the kids Santa must be storing it there...




The factory is on a farm so after the factory tour, we were able to go out back and see the animals.


Such a cute little place with YUMMY cheese!

Playing Outside

The kids had a great time riding around on the 4-wheeler and exploring.


Grandpa and his flying machine! Kenyon wanted faster and faster! Devin was completely afraid of it.

The neighbor's horse

Uncle Tyler

My kids often talk about Uncle Tyler. Whether it is how they want a dog like Uncle Tyler's or they want to go visit Uncle Tyler, he is frequently mentioned around here. They were very excited to see him and his girls in Utah.

Tyler is involved with Occupy Salt Lake City and Occupy Park City. One day we took a visit to the Park City Park to visit the place where all of the action takes place.



Later that night we went to visit the cabin Tyler lives in up Weber Canyon. He makes and sells these amazing tie die shirts and let us all pick one out. Maya is wanting to wear hers every day!

Skiing

One day Jer took Maya and Kenyon to a hill to teach them how to ski. Maya was a pro, while Kenyon preferred eating snow. So he decided to take Maya to the real ski resort the next day. They had a blast!

More Utah Pics

While at Nana and Grandpa's house, Devin was OBSESSED with this toy vacuum.

It had to be at the dinner table and even in his crib at night. We always knew if another kid had snatched it when we heard Devin's high pitch scream!

We had such a fun night when all of the Taylor relatives came over for dinner and gift exchange. I am so bummed that I didn't get more pics of all of the chaos. My kids had so much fun and we loved catching up with relatives we hadn't seen for a while.



One night our good friends the Lotts came over and it was so fun to catch up and let the kids play, play, play!


Sister-in-laws!


These 2 year olds are trouble, but were partners in crime and got along great the whole week!

Sledding

Since it is such an usual year in Utah with no snow, we ventured to the sledding hill in Park City where they make snow. The kids had a blast sledding while Mom and Owen kept warm in the heated tent.





He looked so big all bundled up!

Christmas Festivities

Has it really been over a month since I last posted?! December flew by! We had a lot of fun with Christmas activities, but I was not so good at taking pictures.

Christmas Eve was spent decorating cookies and gingerbread houses before heading to Grandma and Grandpa's house for dinner and the traditional Christmas Eve program.





The finished products:


Christmas morning was crazy and fun. The kids didn't wake up too early so that was nice. We headed downstairs to see what Santa brought and then Grandma and Grandpa and Great-Grandma and Great-Grandpa joined us for breakfast.






Jeremy got me a fire pit for the backyard...


And I also bought him a fire pit for the backyard!


That is what you call true love! :)

Christmas night we all flew to Utah to spend the week with all of the Galovich's. More posts to come...
