Back to Utah, this time for Christmas with Nick's family. There was a houseful of kids and fun! Owen and Teslyn are at the prime ages for this, and thoroughly enjoyed all that this season had in store for them.

Owen got a cool orange bike from Santa!

Teslyn got a super cute little shopping cart, with a little car on front for her dolls to sit in.

They both had fun digging through their stockings to discover what else was theirs.

Good Christmas morning, straight out of bed, family picture!

Can't forget about Spiderman.

Owen also got a play dough "Dr. Drill 'N Fill" so now he can learn how to fix teeth like his daddy! It's so funny. It was a popular gift among some of our other dental school friends too.

It didn't snow a single time while we were there! I was okay with that. At least there was already some for the kids to play in. My poor kids don't have all the snow gear to keep them warm, so Owen bailed on that pretty quick. Teslyn was loving it too much, and didn't come in until she was about frozen.

Owen also went on an outing to Temple Square with his cousins and didn't get back until after bedtime. That's his cousin Savannah sleeping on his back.
