Utah New Year's Eve

The drive from our house to Arizona is long.  A total driving time of 24 hours without stops.  Luckily my brother lives in Utah which is almost halfway and he let us stay at his house both ways.  It was so nice to get to see his family.  On the way home it was New Years Eve so we stayed at their house two nights and spent the holiday there.  Another one of my brothers and his family came so it was a big party.
The kids had so much fun playing with their cousins.  In the top picture you can see a Christmas village.  It was at Mary-Anne's mom's house and it was really cool.  There were so many houses and figures.  She even had a scavenger hunt set up.  In the below picture you can see the girls putting make up on the boys.  I'm not sure what that was about but they really were enjoying it.


Their neighbor put on the biggest neighborhood fireworks show I've ever seen.

We had a blast!

The drive in general was not bad.  We had some dense fog at points but other than that the roads were clear.  The kids did well and we listened to several audio books including a few from the "Wings of Fire series."  Tucker pretty much finished his mandatory driver's permit hours and was getting pretty good at freeway driving.

It was a great trip.  I'm so glad we went even though we spent four days in the car.
