SNACKS! brought to you by itsnotacompetition

After we left Arizona and braved Hoover Dam traffic for a few hours, we spent a couple fun days at my dad's house in Las Vegas, and I cannot find the photos we took! I'm guessing they probably ended up in some random folder, like April 2004 or something, so I'll post them when I find them. The kids had so much fun with their new gifts and Jonah and I got to sneak away for a day and go see TWO movies! By the way, I really recommend "Slum Dog Millionaire".

After a few days of laundry at home, we packed up again and went back up to Park City for a New Year's celebration with Jonah's family. Check out their sledding hill above!!

We took the kids to the planetarium in downtown SLC one day so they could use some free passes they had won. Afterwards, we met up with Jonah's family at the Zoo for some ZooLights. It was freezing but so great. Cam even got to see the SLOTH awake. (Sloths are his favorite animals). We also got to do a frigid merry-go-round ride. Hot cocoa!

We made Elsie go out in the snow once, and she had a fun time even after we bundled her up this much. She and Jonah rode the sled about 20 times. After that, she was done.

I love that Jonah is in a t-shirt and Elsie has 14 layers.

Cam got to spend New Year's Eve the best way he could imagine... playing on a Wii.

Ana got to hang with some of her extended cousins on Jonah's side at the New Year's Eve party. I didn't get a photo of the other girls, but I did get this great one with the giant lifelike pony laughing in the background too.

Elsie made this outfit herself. She looooooves parties!

She especially loves when everyone screams "HAPPY NEW YEAR" and then someone hands her an almost empty root beer bottle. Chug it.

And of course, the minute 2009 was upon us, Cam started up his exercise routine for the year with help from cousin Eliza. He's really worried about those excess lbs he picked up during the holidays. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
