Carly Crosland

We had so much fun skiing while we were in Utah! Clara was pretty insistent that she get to go this year, so even though we didn't take Lucy until she was 4, Clara got to go this year at only 3! She did so great! She really preferred just going fast while holding my hand, but she had a blast, and that's all that matters! We took the girls up the Friday before Christmas and it was such a nice day. 40+ degrees bluebird day! So glad my girls get to learn to do something that I love!  I got to sneak away with my dad and Uncle Kevin for an awesome powder day! We went up again with my parents, Candace, and little Lucy. She got to do a lesson while the big kids skiied, and we took her out in the afternoon! She went down the big lift- Becker, for the first time, and did awesome!  Candace and I practiced our ballet skiing skills, and my back bending skills.

Christmas is always so magical! We woke up to like 6 inches of fresh new snow! It was the best Christmas surprise! We woke up and spent Christmas morning with Grandma Bonnie and Papa Jeff! It was nice to just be us and have Grandma and Grandpa there!  Their big gift this year was of course their doll house, and Christmas morning they got a few other gifts from Santa. Including all the princess barbies! Clara also got the cutest little wooden camera and took pictures of us all morning long. Indy absolutely loves Lucy and always just comes and sits on her lap. We had Grandma Bonnie's famous scones for breakfast. Yummmmm. Best ever! Love this little family of mine! and then we headed over to Grandma Carrie's for the rest of the day! It was so fun to open presents with the whole family there! It seriously only happens once a year!  The traditional laying in all of the wrapping paper... Cinnamon rolls and omel...
