Merry Christmas!

Alright, knowing you do not care about the hundreds of pictures we have from our break, I've gathered a few worth noting. We really had an awesome Christmas break, and loved spending time with so much family!

To kick it off, we all surprised Cory's mom and dad by caroling at their door, including the Texas Birds who came out with a little help from all of us. To say she was ecstatic is an understatement (see picture in previous post!)


The rest of the time I'll quickly caption, because I'm sure your new years resolution, like mine, is to go work out. I don't want to be your excuse for sitting on your butt!


The girl cousins were smitten with Miss Audrey. It was nice to have 3-4 extra mommies running around willing to help!


We also got to see the lights at Temple Square all together. Advice to you all: DO NOT go with a group of 20+ people. You're bound to get lost. Also, DO NOT go on the Sunday before christmas, because thats whet everyone else is doing too. And bring extra wipes just in case your son decides to throw up in front of a huge crowd admiring the Christus. Embarrassing!

Whats the holiday season without a nativity re-enactment (or two)? Baby Jesus was a girl this year, wearing pink and a bow.


Rock band was played numerous times, and boy, can my man BELT it out!

Grandma lovin' on our smiley girl.

All of the cousins...some of whome were crying, were sick, throwing tantrums and plain just not wanting to take a picture!


We carried on the tradition of pj's on Christmas Eve. How I love an excuse to get new clothes!

Rarely do we get down past Tremonton to see my side of the family which are scattered throughout "happy valley". When we do we always love it, especially when showing off our new little gal. Great Grandma and Grandpa were instantly smitten- when they could finally pull her away from my mom that is!


And to end it all, all the brave ones went sledding, where Isaac apparently did a lot of screaming. Luckily I wasn't there because I'm not brave!

(And because she's just so stinkin' cute, here's Audrey on our way to the lights at Temple Square)

Sounds like a great Christmas and how exciting to have such a surprise for Cory's parents. I bet they (and everyone else) loved it!
