Christmas Vacation Recap Part II

After our flight back to Utah from California, we drove straight up to Logan to Joe's dad's house. We had a great time there, like always, with great food, games and great people. Everyone was there except Lorna's daughter Mandy and her family. It was a packed house, too.

Here are some pictures from our time in Logan:

This year, instead of drawing names for a present exchange we drew for a letter exchange. We each wrote letters to one person saying things we admired about them. Then, on Sunday night, we took turns reading the letters that were written for us. It turned out really great with lots of laughing and some tears, too (especially from the more sensitive ones like me :). Here are some pictures:

After we read the kids' letters, they went downstairs to watch Ratatouille.

Thanks again, Jaime, for the great idea! The trip would have perfect if our whole family hadn't gotten sick with the flu at the end of it. Luckily, it was a short-lived bug and we're all healthy again.
Back to regular life now...
