travel plans

Oh my gosh!!!
We are gonna do it!!
We have never done this before,




We are going on a family trip for CHRISTmas!!
Oh my gosh!!!

After tons of prayer and conversation together, my husband and I decided to ditch the usual plan of spending CHRISTmas with our families and hit the snowy roads for the holiday. We have never done this before. It is kinda scary and exciting all at the same time. Where are we going? Ireland?
Italy?
Jerusalem?
Nope.



Yup, we are headed off to Utah.
Never been there but I have wanted to.
So we are so lucky that Belle's Godparents live up there and are going to have us stay with them for the holiday!
How lucky huh?
So we are going to have our first official white CHRISTmas!!!
They only thing is...I am sooooo from Southern California that I have only seen snow twice in my entire life. They were only for short periods of time and followed by the truck heater on full blast and stopping for hot cocoa on the way down the mountain. Now I am out looking for snow clothes for me and the munchkins because my present wardrobe for the munchkins will not even start to keep us warm up there. So guess what the kiddos are getting for CHRISTmas? You guessed right, snow clothes, mittens, snow boots, scarves and beanies!
We are going to have a "Happy Birthday Jesus" party with my mom before we leave to kind of have CHRISTmas with her.



I am sure it wont be the same for her, but I want to be sure we do something with her too.
I am so nervous.
I hope this gives the munchkins a positive memory they will cherish their whole lives.
It is going to be a simple CHRISTmas for us.
I hope it will be one of the best.
