So it was January 20th, and we decided to pile in the car and make a surprise visit to my sister Krista. She now lives 2 hours away (boo hoo) but thankfully we can just drive two hours and not have to fly. For that I am grateful! Plus it honestly took my kids 10 minutes to go potty grab their pillow and sleeping bags and they were ready to go in the car. They even decided to skip family dinner and just eat PB&J sandwiches in the car. It was awesome. We were off for the birthday surprise of the year! It was Sunday night and Krista had NO idea we were coming. I talked to her on the phone wished her a happy birthday. Then bam, we hit the road. We showed up, crawled along her porch to hide beneath the windows...busted open the door and screamed..."Surprise, Happy Birthday !!" She gave a wonderful reaction, she screamed and then cried. It was the best ever!!
Just to put how awesome Fillmore, UT is to my children. Here is a little birthday card Alayna made for Krista...I think it explains it perfectly! If we could all live in Fillmore I think we would!

After we finished Krista's house projects (painting...painting...painting) we took the kids outside for some cold winter fun. Sledding behind the 4 wheeler.
Seriously...look at that BLUE sky! They are so lucky, no inversion down here!

Alayna and Kennady. This picture shows the land that Krista and Riley now have to play around on. Everything up until the fence on the right and the bails of hay in the back is their new purchased property! Seriously... unbelievable!
Jake, rocking out on the sled.
Nothin but smiles here.
Happy to be here!
Yippee
Ok. Here is the back of their newly purchased home. They are home owners! It's a darling little thing. I shouldn't say little because it has like 6 rooms and 3 bathrooms. It's all newly finished. And with all the TLC Krista has given it (new paint & trim) it's ADORABLE! I'm mad I didn't take pictures inside. Because it's so CUTE!
Oh, this is one sad baby...he was a little too cold. We all had hot chocolate and bundled up. This was a fun short and sweet visit. That is why we love these Fillmore visits. We come for one night stay for two days, play on toys, run around, breath fresh farm air, and realize why we all feel that Fillmore World = Awesome!
