Watching "A Christmas Carol"


My mom took the kids to Grant's house to play video games so Trevor and I could go on a date


They said it was one of the highlights of the trip


Trevor and I worked out at Planet Fitness and then got an acai bowl for a treat


Tree at the hotel


We swam in the hotel pool most nights



We went to BYU to check it out and show Maddie

Heading back home.
Trevor was on different flights from us so it was just me and the kids on the way back.


Maddie was in front of us


How we all felt


On the Skylink at the Dallas airport


Finally made it home!
The first day back to school was a 2 hour delay!
