Let it snow...let it snow...let it snow

We headed to snowy Logan this last weekend. Lenna has done great! We had a bit of a delay leaving the SeaTac airport but Lenna just played on her blanket with all her toys in the terminal. We lucked out, our plane wasn't full, so we could take Lenna's car seat on. So she had her own seat! After a bottle she was out in sleeping mode for the whole flight. Yay!On Saturday we went to the annual Davidson Christmas party. It was a requirement for the whole family to be there this year to celebrate the grandparents 80th birthdays. It was fun to see all the cousins and meet some of their kids that we hadn't met yet. My mom gave out straws to all the kiddos. Lenna loved playing with her's! She hasn't figured out how to actually use a straw though.
Great Grandma and Grandpa Davidson are always very generous with gifts. She puts a lot of effort into getting what we actually ask for. Lenna had a good loot! She is one spoiled little girl!
She enjoyed playing with the packaging...
But loved playing with the bows the most!
After the fun event of meeting cousins we headed over to Great Grandma Lundell's for a quick visit. She had a good time seeing Grandma and Aunt Sharon.
We made the visit short to Great Grandma Lundell's because it was snowing. It has snowed and snowed. Lenna doesn't seem to mind the snow. I think she might be more like her dad and like it. I on the other hand don't mind that we live somewhere it doesn't snow often. But Jared and I enjoyed shoveling the snow off the drive way for my parents.
After the party in Ogden we got to spend time with all of Lenna's cousins on my side. Even two of her cousins slept over. You would never guess it from the picture but this little guy doesn't like going to sleep at all! He just wanted to stay up and play. But Lenna sure loved playing with cousin Carter. It was very cute to hear him say her name.
On Sunday we had Christmas party round 2 with just my family. Here is Grandpa Stud and Lenna before opening gifts.
Here is Grandma Princess and Trey and Lenna all excited for the Christmas party at Grandma's house!
Lenna got a load of stuff! So much it covered her and Jared! All great and fun things. We sure were very spoiled from the two Christmas parties!!! I am grateful for my all my extended family and all the fun things we got but most important I am grateful for the time we got to spend with them.
After the presents were open Lenna wanted to play with her cousin Jack. She was even wrestling him. She just loves her cousins so very much.
By the end off all the weekend fun she was one very tired girl. Here she is in her pack n play in the closet. Yep she is sleeping in the closet. But she is snug as a bug and this is the important part.
Lenna in the last few days has taken off in crawling. I have a child who doesn't like to do things half baked. She is an all or nothing kind of gal. So when she figured out crawling she has been full speed. I thought she might do some army crawling but nope she just does a normal crawl. I am sure it will just get faster and faster with time...and then walking...ekkk...I am so not ready nor do I have my house child proofed at all. Looks like when we get home she might be getting into more things so our home might be rearranged, but right now Lenna is just enjoying exploring grandma and grandpa's house.

Hope you are enjoying the weather where you are at. I am enjoying looking at the snow for now! =)

you lucked out! I am glad Lenna slept on the plane for you. Ella did no such thing on the way to Cali and it was... not so fun for the last part especially. Looks like you had a blast with the fam and in the snow. Isn't it fun to be spoiled sometimes?
