Surprise!!!

We've traveled to UT for Christmas since we moved to AZ. This year we decided that we wanted to have Christmas morning with our own little family and that we would head to UT on the 26th. But with 9am Sacrament meeting and little kids that ripped through presents we were finished up by 11am with nothing else to do the rest of the day :) So we decided to surprise our families and show up 12 hrs earlier. We told Addie that we were heading to Mesa to visit Steve & Kristy and Curt & Karen so that she wouldn't give it away if we talked to any family while we were in the car. She noticed the snow in Flagstaff and kept asking "where are we going? It doesn't snow at our house" and by about Kanab we let her in on the secret! We knew we would show up after midnight so we called my brother Justin, told him we were on our way and to leave the front door open so we could sneak in and surprise everyone at breakfast. The plan worked perfectly. We were able to sneak in without waking anyone up and when I heard my mom get up in the morning we snuck out to the family room before she came out. The reaction was totally worth arriving early:
