Winter for a week- it's quite enough

Ok so I have been pretty bitter about how warm it has been here in Houston all winter long. There was one week in December that I almost lost it when it was 75 degrees.
I could. not. wait. to go to Utah and get a break from this madness. Turns out I had no idea what I was thinking, because Utah was WAY worse!
 I have now decided that I will take that 75 degree weather over -2 degrees any day!
Luckily we had our Nona, Pappa and all of our fun cousins to make it the funnest week we could have asked for!
We found a lot of fun indoor activities to keep us busy like Jump On It with cousins,
 Playing trains, reading books and even going to a movie in a movie theater! Finn was stoked to be sitting in his own seat in front of a huge movie screen with a bowl of popcorn right by his Nona. We came home and he didn't stop asking to go back to the movies for days.
Nona was the best playmate, he LOVED that she would get down on the floor with him and give him 100% of her attention (having a pregnant mommy is no fun at all.)
 As luck would have it we got to meet Finn's newest cousin Hazel who lives in Colorado. We were so excited, Finn did so well being soft with her and loved having her snuggle up on his lap.
Then we got to meet sweet baby Lainey only 1 month old. It made us both so excited to be having a baby girl!!

Finn's favorite activity of the whole week was sledding! We bundled him up A Christmas Story style and braved the weather and he was in absolute heaven! We would send him down the hill all by himself.
 He is quite the thrill junky so we sent him off a couple of jumps.
We love everyone in Utah and it was such an amazing thing to be able to go and spend time there, we miss you all already and we would be back braving all that snow in a heartbeat!!
