As a child, one of my favorite songs my parents would sing as we drove to Grandpa & Grandma’s sheep ranch was, Over the River and Through the Woods.  I couldn’t help but be reminded of those fun journeys as we drove through Provo Canyon, on our way to the designer’s annual Nyman Family Christmas Party. 

We had a wonderful time.  I love the designer’s aunts, uncles, and cousins, and love to tease them about their names (he rarely remembers all of them and their spouses).  Wish we lived closer to all of them, yet so glad for traditions and time to spend together.  Highlights included Danish rice pudding with the hidden almond, playing wii in the theater room, and choosing children’s books from Aunt Dea’s school stash.
