One of the main advantages (or disadvantages if you are Alita) to having Christmas in Utah is that there's a great chance at having snow. Now this isn't a guaranteed thing because we do live in the middle of a desert and a drought, but this year we had snow for Christmas! Now when it snows at night, most people are smart enough to stay inside. Well, Annette's never been described as the "brains" in the family, so she dragged me outside to take pictures of her romp in the snow. I think she also just wanted to show off her cute new coat.

That's when I realized that I don't have any new pictures. If I had a Canon Mark III, I would have new pictures, but that's a whole different subject.
