Old news, I know... it's mid-January. And I'm just posting our Christmas trip to Utah. My lack of time to do anything besides barely hold myself together as I try to get back into real-life and off vacation-mode is the culprit. Man, I am reeeaally scared to have 3 kids. I am barely functioning as it is! My blog has necessarily taken a back seat... until today! :) Here are some pictures of our annual trip to Utah for Christmas...
..."Bumpa" spent some time outside outside with Dom practicing throwing, catching, and kicking the soccer ball.
So cute.
This picture makes my heart happy. Dom will love this one when he gets older.
Here is a picture of the Innes family's stocking assortment. There are a couple of stockings hidden behind others because there are so many of us now...it's hard to fit them all in! We are the toy soldiers. :)

...watching our traditional "Mr. Magoo's Christmas" on Christmas Eve.
...making gingerbread houses (and picking our nose, I guess). Thanks Mom and Dad, for supplying all the goods!
The finished product... Dominic did all the little balls on the windows and door. He was really into decorating the house this year.
A few nights later, I let the boys binge on the houses. Dominic polished off our house...
...and Damon made off with someone else's.
...scrumptious.
Nana and Bumpa bought all the grandkids monkey pajamas. This isn't nearly the entire brood, we didn't even attempt a cousin-shot this year...too many wiggly ones. But you get the picture.
The guys all played their usual "Age of Empires"...
...and the girls went out to lunch on New Year's Eve, and then we went to a fun little ceramic shop and painted ceramics while the men stayed home with all the kiddoes. It was so fun. I'll detail that little outing next post.
Our kiddoes almost made it 'til New Year's. But their mean Mama made them go to bed at 10 so she could salvage any sanity left in her weary body. 
Our drive home went pretty smoothly, thanks to our new double DVD player and headphones... h-h-h-heaven! (Unless you count the instances where Dominic is threatened within one inch of his life because he is asked to use a public restroom.) I think they watched the Polar Express, like, 4 times.
Whew! Finally, done with Christmas until next year. Man, I need to stop taking so many flippin' pictures. ;)

It's always great to get the boys reaquainted with their aunts, uncles, and cousins. It's really hard to live so far away from all our family. Damon really warmed up to Aunt Amber.
You can't really tell... but there are about 5 or 6 kids under all those blankets. The boys had so much fun with their cousins.
