3 More Days!!!!

Is it just me or has Christmas crept up extra fast this year? And I am already nervous that it will creep past me too quickly! In the meantime, we got a few visitors this weekend (it's great to be a stop on people's way to their Christmas destination) and fit in a couple more Holiday Festivities.

My bro and his family stopped by on Friday night. We went to the Ethel Chocolate Factory and Cactus Garden to look at the Christmas Lights. We all live in the desert and were dying at the 37 degree nighttime weather. Too bad we are all going to UT and the high everyday next week is even lower than that. We are going to freeze!

Then on Sunday we were joined by my oldest sister Lisa and her family at church. It was fun to see them for a little bit. Lisa and my niece, Lauren even came to my YW lesson and it made me wish they were in my ward to always help participate in the lessons.
The girls are all ready for church with Daddy in their new Christmas dresses

Well, shopping is done, wrapping is done, treats were made and delivered, Santa was visited, lights were seen and tree has been destroyed more than once. I would say our Holiday checklist is pretty much complete. Now we just need to pack up and pray that the snow will stop up north so we can make our way up to UT to be with family. Hope you get to finish all that you needed to do before Thursday and can enjoy family and friends and all that this season truly represents.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!!

The snow is coming down like crazy up here in Ogden. I'm not sure what the conditions are like south of here, but be careful driving up. I love the Christmas dresses!

You guys always take such cute family pictures with the girls all smiling and looking at the camera and everyone's eyes are open. I love the girls' Christmas dresses! Hope you have a good time up in UT. You're going to freeze, but that's ok. At least you don't have to live in it all the time.

We loved visiting you in Vegas since we really weren't able to see you much in Utah. We just need to plan on a good weekend to come play with you guys! Anyways, send me the family pic that you took of us at the chocolate factory.....I will look through mine and send you some of Ava and Emery.
