Christmas Vacation

The Christmas Season this year flew by so quickly, I can't believe it's already January! Brock and I left home Christmas Eve and drove down to SLC to spend Christmas with my parents. Before bed on Christmas Eve, we opened our Christmas P.J's (thanks mom & dad), threw Reindeer Dust on the roof and drank hot chocolate.

Christmas morning we opened gifts with my mom & dad and enjoyed the afternoon together. My sister Lynette and I were in charge of our family Christmas party that night at my mom's, so we spent part of Christmas day putting things together for that.

Christmas night we had our party and dinner. We had a Caribbean themed party and dinner. It was so nice to spend the night with my siblings and their families.

We spent the remainder of the weekend in SLC at my parents and enjoyed eating out, shopping and going to the movies. On Sunday morning we headed down to Brock's parents to spend a few days there.

We had their family party and dinner on Sunday. All of Brock's siblings were there with their families (except for one of Brock's brothers) even Shilo and Devin made it from West Virginia!!! We had a super fun time being together as a family.

We drove back to SLC to ring in the New Year! We went out to eat with my parents and my brother Jon and his wife and then went to my brother Mike's for the New Year Celebrations. We stayed up until Mid-Night and watched as fireworks filled the valley.

Thursday we were able to meet up with our old friends Brian & Candice and their cute kiddies. We met up for lunch to catch up with each other, it was a much needed visit!

Friday the 2nd, my Nephew Jake went through the Jordan River Temple for the first time so we were able to be there for that too! After the Temple we packed up and drove to Idaho for Brock's cousin's wedding. It was fun to see a lot of family and friends in Idaho.

We finally pulled into our garage at 12:30am Saturday morning, after being away from home that long we were super excited to be home.

We had a great time in Utah with friends and family, but Brock thinks we should go on a Cruise next year instead! Bransen & Brinlee throwing Reindeer DustBrock on Christmas morningKadence was helping Uncle Brock with the computer

Our niece Kindred has gotten so BIG since we saw her last!

Our niece Bella...I love her hair! She has so much hair at just 3 months, she plays with it to put herself to sleep. You can kinda tell in this picture.

We went through West Yellowstone on our way home and it was covered in tons of snow, we couldn't believe how much snow they have.

We thought it was so funny that people drive around on their snow machines in West Yellowstone, we had to take this picture of this guy getting gas.

Brock's main gift didn't come until after we got home. He was surprised to get some ALE81 all the way from Kentucky!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
