A Condo Christmas

This year my family wanted to go on a trip for Christmas which I was completely thrilled about seeing as I have had the travel bug lately.  But after finding out that Christmas at Disneyland is the busiest/most expensive time of the year, we decided to look a little more local.

My parents found a little condo in a place called Eden, Utah for a week over Christmas.

It has been the perfect little get-away! It's about an hour and a half away from our house, set against some beautiful mountains, and in a warm and cozy condo.  Just enough away that it feels like a vacation but just close enough so we didn't miss our family Christmas parties.

We've done stuff together every day, the first day was ice skating!

Then, as per tradition, we went to Dee's Restaurant and had breakfast for dinner. So yummy!

Sunday was spent seeing the Christmas Lights at Temple Square. It's so beautiful, I love it!

On Christmas Eve we went up past Logan to a Ranch where wild Elk spend winters. They take you out on a sleigh and literally ride among Elk.  It was such a beautiful area, I wish I would've brought our nice camera because the backdrop was amazing!

I was digging my outfit Christmas Eve. Everything I'm wearing is literally my favorite it each category! haha

On our last full day at the condo us four got to go skiing/snowboarding at Wolf Mountain Resort. It was by far the best powder day I've ever had! It was just puking!! I was in heaven!

The two skiers. It was Ryan's first time and even though he picked it up pretty well he didn't leave without making his mark...he took out a fence.

This was by far the best Christmas I can remember. Not because I got such cute boots or that we got decked out in Adidas gear but because we were all together and had an absolute blast!

It was probably our last Christmas all together as my brother will be heading on a mission and who knows where I'll be.  It was especially nice just relaxing near a fireplace, with my family, while the beautiful view outside was completely white. I had no studying, no work, and no stress. It was amazing and I can't believe its over!

I couldn't be more appreciative to my parents for planning all this and doing so much for us kids.  We are so blessed to have them. I am so overwhelmed with gratitude this year.

Merry Christmas!
