Trip to Utah

Our plan to fly out to Utah Christmas day was significantly delayed because of a blizzard that completely shut down New York City. We didn't end up leaving until 5 days later. Each day that passed Olivia would grab her suitcase and say I'm ready to go to the airport. She was always so disappointed when we said she would have to wait. It's a good thing Olivia was so excited about the airport because we ended up staying at the airport for almost 24 hours trying to get out. Olivia was such a good sport. I am grateful Olivia has such a wild imagination, we spent our time in the airport swimming through swamps, grinding wheat and being every animal imaginable- it made the waiting in the airport quite enjoyable. When we were finally heading down the jet way to get on our plane Olivia kept shouting "I'm so excited!"

Olivia sure had a great time in Utah, she was so excited to see everyone there. She especially enjoyed playing with Ella. There was a lot of hugging, jumping and laughing.




Olivia had fun with her cousins, and also enjoyed being with her aunts, uncles and grandparents.

Olivia discovered a new favorite activity. Emily and Olivia would take turns playing the piano while the other person danced. Olivia loved it!

Fortunately, we were able to squeeze in some time to see a BYU basketball game. Olivia was quite interested in the game, but was even more interested in watching Cosmo. She thought Cosmo was great and really wanted to take a picture with him, unfortunately we weren't able to.

Utah was great, we sure loved our time there!
