Christmas Break

This Christmas break was stellar. We indulged on hot tubbing, well crafted food, and lots of lazy days.  The kids enjoyed walks with Nana to visit the neighbors goats and their cousin Molly's 2 year old birthday. Brady wrote a management symposium paper while I read frivolous magazines. 


Elsie is wandering around the house yelling "Nana! . . . Papa!" We miss them.


We even walked to our gate and exchanged a few words with Lord of the Rings' Viggo Mortensen at the SLC airport. (He was just as stoic and gracious as he is on all his movies, just a little taller.)

As much as we love the novelty of D.C., it was also great to be in cushy Utah. It's nice to be in a place where women run without pepper spray and where I don't stand out as the only white person at the grocery store.

AHHHH! I'm soo jealous you not only saw but talked to Viggo Mortensen! He has always been easy on the eyes to me even if he is older (cory already knows this haha). And I loved him in Lord of the Rings- speaking of which if you guys are in Utah next christmas we should all go to opening night of the Hobbit, it comes out Dec 14th. It was great to see you guys even though it was short, we REALLY do need to plan a destination vacay together- beach/hike/or bike we're game for whatever. Love you all!
