Christmas vacation

We went to Utah for Christmas this year. Here are a few of the highlights...



Will wearing Hannah's hand me down snow clothes




Sledding


Chinese dinner Christmas Eve (a Benton family tradition)





Ray finally getting proof that his "fortress of solitude" exists
Yes, our kids are Brady Bunch lovers....I mean they like to wear robes

Building snow tunnels

We had such a great time visiting family and friends. And we dearly missed family we were not with.
Merry Christmas!!

Hey! Happy New Year!! Thanks for the pictures and glad you guys were able to hang with the FAM in Utah!

We had a good time with the Family here in the East. Better start practicing up for the Fooseball Tournament that is sure to happen next time we're all together.

Looks like you had so much fun. I wanna make a snow tunnell! How fun. How fun to go home to be with family, I guess I will accept that for your blogging break:).

Glad you are back in the blogging world and that you had a great vacation. LOVE the pictures.

One thing Sara never mentions is what a gyp this season is for her - our anniversary is the 23rd, two days later is Christmas, and then her birthday is the 28th.... this time of year is fraught with peril for me!!! Actually, of course Sara is so nice even when I belly flop - I thought I'd try to buy her some clothes this year and got the size wrong on every item - but she just smiled that gorgeous smile and said thank you. But the cherry on top had to be slippers; I don't know what came over me, but apparently I thought Sara would like some pink Dearfoams circa Carol Burnett.... luckily they, too, were the wrong size, but of course she smiled her dazzler just the same...

Is that what it's like to be a woman? To have to smile when your husband gets you lame presents for your birthday? Well that SUCKS!!!

How could I not be grateful? You took Benny and Will to the outlets all day in the snow just to get me some gifts. I love that your clothes choice for me is always "ultra prep". Have you seen my High School pictures? I am a skater/hippie at heart. So sorry, I just don't think I could ever pull off the super crisp white collar shirt with a sweater vest! (did you ask my dad what I wanted?)

And you are being way too nice, you must have forgotten the sandals that I got for you from payless one year. Your response was, "ya, my dad has some of these....thanks"
