Gotta love the holidays, & extremely long posts.

We had a fantastic time in Utah, skiing shopping playing with family & friends that we love! Thanks to everyone for such a wonderful time and especially our family for all the awesome Christmas presents!! This pic above is me trying to keep Aspen entertained during our 5 hour layover in Ohio.

Jillyn said...

What a fun Christmas! I love to see pics of good old Dave! So when does Aspen get skis of her own?

Melanie said...

Cute pictures. Aspen is so fun. And I really do like your hair like that. It looks great. BTW, your mom's kitchen is AMAZING! I think I would cook better if I had something like that to cook in.

Looks like you had a great time. Sorry we never got together. We were in Canada for 17 days and then my girls have been sick ever since. Crazy, from one sickness to the next. Anyway, call me and we'll chat.

Scha&Andi said...

Fun pics! Way cute hair cut by the way! Hope the transition back from the holiday wasn't too rough!

What the....that was a Looonng post! Just kidding, ignore me. On a more serious note, I love, love, love you hair, but I know where you're coming from, it's hard to have such a dramatic change.

The Hills said...

Sorry we missed you again Abby. The good news is, it looks like you're still having fun on your visits here despite our absense....hard to believe, but I'm happy to see/read it! I'm jealous you were able to get in so much skiing. WE live in Utah and don't ski as mucha s you guys do. It's just so bloody expensive. I'm glad you're able to pack it all in though while you're here! Hopefully we can hang out when you guys move back :)

Hey girl. I have been meaning to post a comment since i saw you here in KY. I am jealous that you went to SLC for christmas. Looks like you guys had fun. Thanks for taking the time to see us while you were visiting. It was fun to see you and your fam. Too bad we forgot to do tens. Maybe next time :)

Kate Johnson said...
