Xmas 2007 Part Two

Okay, I know this is very late but here is Part 2 of our xmas trips. After this there will be Part 3 and then I can move on to the next adventure.

(click on the pictues to enlarge so you can see everything.)

Paul, Mr. B and I drove out to Utah for the 25th. We stayed with Darcy and family for about a week. I was worried about the weather and if we would have to drive in the snow but it worked out great. I guess I was over worried about it as I'm sure Paul wouldn't have any problem but I'm still glad we didn't have to!!

The Wearing Christmas Tree

Jessy working on a present. I won't say who's present.

Kody with one of his toys. I think it is a Transformer but it might be power ranger. I don't remember and I can't tell!! I just double checked the enlarged picture and it is a Transformer. I knew everyone needed to know that!!


Kody and Mommy making cookies for Santa Claus. Now this is the picture that really shows the fact that this is a boy. He loved all parts of cookie making but once Mom got out the Power Tools that is when he really got excited!!

Adding the eggs

Ready to go in the oven.

Santa's Helper.

Jessy and Darcy also made cookies.



On Christmas eve soon after Darcy and I got back from the store and were settled into the house it started to snow. I thought it was perfect timing. It snowed all night and it was beautiful when we woke up on Christmas morning.

Beardsley loves the snow. I mean LOVES the snow. Here he is after one of his walks. With his long fur the snow clumps on the fur and it takes work to get it off to dry him off. He would stay out there lots longer than we wanted to be out in the cold.

Now Beardsley loves being in the snow but it is old hat to Sosha so she would rather stay inside and pretend she is Santa Claus!

Xmas eve

Here we were all dressed in thermals and overcoats and up drives the mailman. He was in short shelves!! I guess you do get use to it!!

Here is how Paul got dressed to go out and shovel the walk!! He got a little discourged when the snow was covering up his work as fast as he would shovel!

Jessy shoveled the back steps for the dogs to go down.

The Wearing House with all its lights on on Xmas eve.

Here we are at Christmas Eve dinner which in the Wearing house is the Big Dinner. Turkey and Tofurky with all the trimmings again. Writing about it is making me want it again!!

Unwrapping the first present on Christmas Eve. One on Christmas eve (which this year was new PJ's for everyone) and then the rest in the morning after Santa comes.

The Morning.

Now you would think that this is a picture of Kody with his present. Well, you would be wrong, it is a picture of Darcy with her present!! She loved the Transformers movie and the car in it that transformed into Bubblebee. If you gave it to her right now it would be the best gift in the whole wide world. She even got very excited about the toy car!!

White Christmas Morning

Getting ready to go outside to get the Big Family gift. Santa wrote a bunch of clues that the kids had to figure out and run around the house and find parts of the present. It was lots of fun for everyone.

And here is the new Toy that they got!!

Looking down the street and in the distance is the Salt Lake with the mountains covered with snow on Antelope Island.

Here is Mr B having a great time in the snow. This was just seconds before I slipped and fell down! Oh yes, that was lots and lots of fun.

We had a great time there and I will be writing more on the Utah trip in part 3.
