How Was Utah? SNOWY!

We went to Utah for two weeks to visit family and it was so fun!!  There was lots of family time, friends, driving, snow, movies, and food.  Chick was ridiculously happy to get to play with all our family...and their puppies.  She got really spoiled during the whole trip.  She had Hatcher wrapped around her little finger....every time he'd put her to bed she'd wake up in the middle of the time and ask to sleep in our bed (he'd give in) and then I'd wake up in the middle of the night with my daughter screaming from underneath me since I'd rolled on top of her.  Apparently I roll around a lot while I sleep.

We got to meet a new member of the Hatch family!  My in-laws adopted Logan from the Ukraine since we'd last visited, so spending time with him and getting to know him was fun.

We really soaked up every minute of the vacation since Hatcher started surgery rotation when we got back.  Poor Hatcher, he's getting so little sleep!  The pressure is on since it's a difficult rotation and he thinks he'd like to do surgery.

Here's our pictures up to Christmas Eve.

After our full day of travel we arrived at the Hatch home and Chick wanted to start shoveling the driveway with Whitney.  They even had a miniature shovel for Chick.  I have no idea how she had this energy!

There was pretty much a blizzard every day while we were there, I've NEVER seen so much snow! (Chick LOOOOOOOOVES the snow)

We went ice skating with our Hatch family on Christmas Eve (tradition) before going down to Provo for dinner with the Bates side.  Chick loved it at first!  (Can you believe how cute those little skates are?!)

Then she hated it.

She wanted Hatcher to carry her (against the rules).

All the kids (my new brother-in-law, Logan, is center)...I still count as a kid, right?

I couldn't resist.
