We had Mark's family over for Christmas dinner. Grandma & Grandpa Holt, Kurt & Michelle's family and Ruth & Doug's family along with Melina Itinose drove up to Park City on that blustery night!

This is the kids at the top of the first chairlift at Deer Valley. The snow was blowing sideways! It was a complete blizzard! Dad is behind the kids, asking a host which lifts to take and runs to ski or what is the most direct route to the Empire Lodge so we can have lunch!
Mom and Dad take a moment to pose on the slopes!
Dad got exactly what he wanted for Christmas...lots of snow!!
We finally made it to the lodge, enjoyed a delicious Christmas lunch and warmed up by the fireplace!
Dad was excited about his WiiSki game!
Brooke loved the hat and shirt that said, "Don't feed the Bear!" Notice that the word Don't is crossed out!!
Ashley gets to plan her trip to Switzerland for this summer with her friend, Mariella, who's family owns a home there! Pretty awesome!
Ashley loved the sack of coal that her Switzerland book came in! It's an ongoing joke that mom thinks is really funny and Ashley puts up with every year!
Brooke and her cute coat! She was so happy that she found something at H&M, "the big kids store" that fit her!
The girls picked out some "girl catching" shirts and ties for Tyler!
We went to one of our favorite restaurants in Park City, Ghidotti's, for Christmas eve dinner. It was amazing! The holiday decorations were incredible and so was the food! 
Dad and I ordered the filet mignon. Yum! It's a tradition that we started when dad was doing his residency in Oklahoma. At Christmas time, the Oral Surgery department invited us to the Petroleum Club, the nicest restuarant in Oklahoma City for a fancy dinner, of filet mignon (which the Oral Surgery department paid for.) Since we were poor residents, we looked forward to that event all year! The Orthodontic residents and their wives would get all dressed up and take pictures, like we were going to prom. It was one of our favorite memories of our residency days in Oklahoma! Now every year, we serve (or order) filet mignon on Christmas eve, to remind us of some of our most humble but memorable Christmases spent in Oklahoma!
The delicious filet mignon at Ghidotti's!

The girls at Ghidotti's!
The kids acting out the Nativity on Christmas eve! Yes! That is right...Kimber is still the angel (I think she has play that part and recited the scripture, "For behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy...", since she was 5!) and Brooke was the sheep!
Dad couldn't ask for a better Christmas gift~plenty of powder and the weather forecast calls for more snow!!
Tyler covered in snow!
Brooke getting after it!
Tyler skiing powder for the first time in 3 years!
Allie looks good in her Zebra goggles!
Dad has the best form in the powder!
The view from our balcony before the storm!
We locked ourselves out of the house so Dad has to climb down the hill in his Sunday suit to unlock the door downstairs!
Oops! Dad falling in the deep snow!
Our "Y" flag proudly hanging off the balcony!
