Christmas 2011

A few days before Christmas we went to the lights at Thanksgiving Point and dinner with Dar's family. Instead of driving through in separate cars we got to take a horse-drawn carriage ride. It was freezing cold, but very fun, and a nice switch-up from going to Temple Square, which is always fun to do too.

Awesome ice sculptures

We got to see a couple of Santa's reindeer

All bundled up

We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning with my family, and had a great time. We got to relax, eat yummy food, and just have a nice time being together. Although our Christmas was small (which is as it should be in my opinion) it was awesome to have our first Christmas with our first baby. She's so much fun and we're so glad we have her!!

No Christmas gathering would be complete without playing Just Dance :)

Koda really gets into it and makes everyone dance! And ya gotta love the hair :)

Liam fell asleep waiting for dinner, and barely woke up to open presents. Poor kid!

Had to throw this one in of Dakoda. Wearing Gramps' glasses, eating a pickle. What more could you ask for?

Ready to open presents!

See what her jammies say? So true.

Aurora's very 1st Christmas present:
alphabet bath toys from Aunt Shannon, Uncle Jonathan, Hannah & Liam.

Helping Uncle Skylar open his presents too.

Christmas confetti fight!!!
(Long story short: Darwin started it.)

Nanny & Gramps gave Rori a mini bumblebee pillow pet. She fell in love at first sight.

Christmas traditions in my family always include cake and ice cream because my baby brother's birthday is Christmas day!

Christmas morning we went to church and then ate a scrumptious brunch before we opened presents. So nice and relaxing!

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas too! Until next year...
