Christmas Trip

This picture pretty much sums up our whole trip. Evan playing the part of all of our family, so excited to see Elizabeth and well....you can see where this is going.

We headed to Utah on the 21 so that we would be there in time for Heiner family pictures. On our way we took a detour and went to Arches. The plan was to get out and hike a bit but Elizabeth was sleeping so that didn't happen. Instead we just drove around for a while and took pictures from the car.

 

 
This place is gorgeous and we decided we might be going back for a weekend to explore when it is a little warmer.


We mostly forgot to take pictures on this trip. Which is a bummer since we got to snuggle two brand new babies. Our friends Nate and Vicki had a beautiful baby girl and we headed to Logan to meet her the second night in Utah. The same day as the family pictures we did our family Christmas party. Bryan's family has this awesome tradition where the siblings rotate gift giving but the gifts are homemade. All of his siblings are so creative and I love to see all the ideas and love the time we get to spend together. I did get these two pictures of Jill opening the present we made her. Some pillow cases and some slippers. She loved them and I was so relieved.

After our time with the Heiners we headed to other places in Utah and Idaho to visit the Roberts side of the family. It was so nice to spend some time with my siblings and to have a chance to just hang out with each other. I also got to hold my newest nephew Spencer Curtis McCoy. Ooo he is so sweet and I just wanted to eat him up. Then we got to celebrate the last day of 2011 (because we wanted to get some sleep so we didn't stay up until midnight) with some of my family at the Wilding house. It was great.

We were going to head home on Sunday but decided instead to go to Amy's house and spend the day with the kids. Elizabeth had a good time playing with the cousins......but mostly their toys.

Bryan's mom got Elizabeth and Jan these matching dresses and they are ADORABLE, right? So of course we took some pictures of the two of them together.

This one is hands down my favorite. Kelby was making funny faces at them and they were both giggling.

And this was the end.

She was obviously ready for a nap.

And that was the end of our trip. We got home and both breathed a sigh of relief because we could finally put our baby on the floor without hearing screams of bloody murder.

Thanks to everyone for all of the great times, gifts and for letting us stay at your houses. We love you.
