Warnick Family holiday fun!

My sister Jalinda and her family live in Texas, but they were able to spend a couple of weeks here over the holidays. Every time they come to town, we always have A LOT of family time that Brandon just loves. We were able to spend a weekend in Midway where we played in they snow, went tubing at Soldier Hollow, and just had a lot of family bonding. My sister Andrea and her family came down from Logan and my brother James and his wife Lisa came too, so for the first time in a while, the entire family spent a few days together.
Brandon and mike engineered a little sledding hill off the back porch that they kids loved.
I was amazed at how long the kids played in the snow and even though they came in soaked, they didn't complained once about being cold.

Makayla, Brynnley, me and Brooklyn at Soldier Hollow. Even though Brooklyn was a little scared and said that the tubes were "too fast" she was a great sport and of course Brynnley loved every minute.
When the kids got to cold, they headed inside the lodge with Grandma Jackie and they adults were able to catch a few more runs. Thanks mom!!!
Here is a sweet timer picture of the entire Warnick family at my Uncle's house in Midway. It's not the greatest picture, but it's just neat to have one of everyone.

Ryder spent a lot of time in his car seat as we ran from one place to the next, but usually he was pretty good as long as someone was paying attention to him. He's 5 months old in this picture.
We also went ice skating while Jalinda and Mike were here. Brooklyn and Savannah had fun being pushed around the ice, but the older kids really started to pick up the skating thing. Oh and you should see Brandon skate backwards. WOW!

It didn't take long for all of my sweet ice skating moves to start to come back to me (like hanging on to the wall and stuff). Hopefully Brynnley will be a little smoother on the ice than her mom.

Wow, looks like you had a busy holiday season! It's always nice to spend a few days with the family even if the hubby isn't to excited about it - they get over it:)
I can't believe how big Ryder is getting...he's so CUTE!!

Enjoy the moment!
