Christmas Time

I am finally getting around to finishing up taking down Christmas Decorations and getting settled in back at home. We had such a fun Christmas with Jerrick's family this year. We headed to St. George with his parents and were able to see a few of his siblings as well! After Christmas, we headed up to snowy land for a few days to see other family. After about a day of snow Jerrick said, "Should we just go home early?". Haha... we are not exactly snow people.

The ten kids in Jerrick's family all pitched in on a joint present for the parents. They just kept unwrapping and unwrapping little presents and it was so fun to watch.

Jerrick got a new camera for Christmas and we had a blast figuring out how to use it and take some fun pictures. We had some pretty sweet action shots of Ryder who got a frisbee from Grandma and Grandpa and was obviously in heaven.

It was fun to see the striking resemblance of my mountain man husband and his dad (photographed just a few years earlier...)




We got to take some really fun family pictures while we were there. Jerrick's sister, Crystal does an amazing job! We had a few really fun ones. Hard to pick which to put up on the wall... Favorites anyone?





We also got to see some of my family while we were up in Northern Utah. It was so fun to get together with both sisters and their families and some grandparents. So fun to take pictures of my niece and nephew!

 With all the nose picking and messy eating, the key to cleanliness is frequent manicures. Bryson looks like he is enjoying his :)

We had a great holiday and it is a little sad that it always ends so soon... but now we are back in the real world with school and work! It really is time to finish putting away the decorations for another year!
