... that we can't get enough of those Williams?

Of course we had to stop by and visit the Williams on the way home too.  But this time, we met them in Cedar City at their family's cabin!  This place is GORGEOUS.   The cabin is amazing, the snow was beautiful, and there is nothing to do but relax and have fun!!!  We managed to have a little bit of fun in between all of our napping:





Marshall LOVED the sleds!




Harrison was a little wary at first, then he couldn't get enough!




Things I love about this pic:
1: Marshall covering his eyes.
2: Harrison sticking his tongue out to eat snow off of his scarf.
3. Kim's face.
4. Renee's face.
Hahahahahahahahaha!

Matt and Lance took a few runs on their snowboards:






And apparently the Kids didn't get enough naps inside, so they took one in the snow too.


It was a beautiful day!  We were sledding on a great hill right outside the cabin door, and it was perfect.  See, I like the snow sometimes!!!







Byron even let Matt and I drive the snow mobiles around a little bit!

 So fun.  And we only almost hit one tree.  And it wasn't even when I was driving.  Promise.

We were lucky enough to be with the Williams for our second New Year's Eve in a row!!!  And it was quite the party!  We made homemade turnovers:


And played several rousing games of Family Business, Blurt, and Five Crowns (which I won, NBD).

We stayed up till 1:00 watching the New Year's Eve broadcast from Vegas, cause that was the only one we could find on TV.  We drank Martinelli's, ate popcorn, and Renee ate candy after a year hiatus.

The only bad thing was IT WAS SO STINKIN COLD!  Seriously, we took off our snow gear and left it in the basement and the next day the snow was still on there.  Not even melted.  That's how cold it was INSIDE the house.  But we were all upstairs most of the time where it was nice and toasty, so we didn't really mind.

What I DID mind though, was our water pipes freezing at our house when we got home!  Woke up Thursday morning with no water.  And let me tell you, this OCD California girl was NOT happy.  You're telling me it is so cold outside that I can't wash my hands?????  Atrocious.

Lucky for us, it was a simple problem.  Matt unfroze a short section of pipe hooked up to a hose outside with a hair dryer and a heated rice bag, and we were back in business in a few hours.  Unfortunately for me, I had already gone to work by that time, withOUT a shower, and I was looking uuuber sexy.  Thankfully, Kelly had done my hair while I was home and a lot of people told me that it looked pretty even though it hadn't been washed for two days, so my self esteem wasn't totally ruined.

I love the Williams and sledding and New Year's, but not the freezing cold!!!
