Family Pictures

My sis-in-law Katie did an awesome job taking our pictures. The kids did not cooperate at all, but she still managed to get some great shots!



At this point my mother-in-law was practically standing on her head to get the kids to smile. I think the mention of Buzz and Woody was captured in this pic :)

Owen wasn't staying still for a second, but he loved running under this little arch. We just positioned ourselves and kept having him run through the tunnel. The picture actually worked out! :)

End of our trip

The last night of our Utah trip we took the kids to the Bean museum and stopped by the creamery for a tasty treat!

We made it throught the flight in one piece (barely). The kids were all tuckered out on our drive home from the airport. They were sure glad to see Daddy :)

They got to open some more presents when we got home. Abby got a set of Disney princess barbies and Owen got Toy Story mr. potatoe heads.

Thought this was a funny position for Abby to sleep in. ha ha

We spent the weekend at Paul & Shars since Steve was in town. We celebrated his birthday :)
