We've made it back from our trip to St. George and the cabin near Zion. We were gone nearly two weeks and things went more smoothly than I anticipated. Nolan even took good naps for us! The only rough night was Christmas Eve, however, but it felt like the good 'ol days when I couldn't sleep before Santa came anyway. Maybe Nolan did understand the whole Santa thing! Here are some pictures of Christmas Day. Nolan's favorite toys are his tool bench and stuffed Curious George monkey. We'll see how long he actually plays with them. The highlight for Justin was receiving not 1, but 2 sets of Legos! They're small, but he couldn't leave them alone. I was so happy to get the Pride and Prejudice sheet music and find that I might actually be able to play it! 
We love the holidays wherever we spend them, but I must say that I was glad to be where the fresh egg rolls and chop suey were being made. Delicious!
Between Christmas and New Year's, Justin and I celebrated our 5th anniversary. I surprised Justin with a couple's massage. I think it wasn't until it was finished that he realized he might have actually enjoyed it. It was nice to see a movie and go to dinner too. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for watching the little monkey for us.
New Year's (and then some) was spent at the cabin. We've never had so much snow and such a great sledding run. Nolan was actually a little nervous because it was so fast and he had trouble walking in the snow because it was too deep. He was happiest indoors pestering his older cousins. It was nice to have the time with family, even my Nana. We missed Rob and Lace because they ended up staying home because the girls were sick. Here are some highlights from the cabin:
That's my mom in the bottom left corner. She can still fit into her old red snowsuit after 30 years! I had to laugh, but isn't she so cute? After 3 minutes outside she started sweating and regretted going to the trouble of putting it on. But she sure looks great! Happy New Year, everyone!

I'm glad you had such a nice Christmas. I too love spending the Holidays with family.
So the chop suey tradition lives on! And do I see Racko in one of those pics?! It looked like you had a lot of fun, too bad Lacey had sick kids. Tell your mom she rocks the red suit!
What a great family picture of you guys in front of the Christmas tree! I'm glad you guys had a nice Christmas with your family, and congrats on your 5 year wedding anniversary!! Seeing pictures of the cabin brings back fun memories! :)
It was great seeing you and Nolan. Whenever we get together, all the old wonderful memories come back to me. Love ya Kenz!
Oh!! Those pics made me really miss being there!! The snowhill looked like fun!!
BTW, I'm glad to see Keeley reading that book in the picture!! She'd better hurry!
What fun holidays!! Can you believe it's been 5 years?! I can't. We're coming up on ours next month too! I'm glad you guys did something fun! I'm a little jealous that Justin got legos! After playing legos together that last trip, I realized how fun they still are. I was secretly hoping that I would get some for Christmas too. Can you tell Justin and I are related?
That would be so awesome to have such a long vacation. I'm glad I found your blog address through Monica's. Congrats on your 5 year anniversary. I noticed your baby countdown I totally didn't know that you are expecting again, you are so small. Hope your doing well.
Great pictures!!! It was so much fun having you guys here for Christmas this year. Being at the cabin for New Years was the best! My kids still talk about how much fun they had playing with Nolan.
You never said what movie you went to see on the anniversary
