Christmas in Utah part 1



We had so much fun in Utah during our Christmas break! After a VERY LONG 15 hour travel day we finally arrived in St. George where we had Christmas with Ross's family. Here a few picture of the things we did while we were there!

Our good friends the Reynold came down from Cedar City and we all went to Taucahn to see their lights and the nativity. We didn't get there in time for the nativity but it kinda worked out because we didn't have to wait in any lines to see santa or take pictures. Jackson fell asleep in the car on the way over there so we left him in the car to sleep with Ross's parents while we went and look with the Reynolds. I was sure glad we did because it was Freezing! The wind was blowing and Jackson would have just cried the whole because he hates the wind blowing on him. It was weird to be walking around without Jackson but it kinda felt like old time with us and the Reynolds.

Miss Mahala and Santa.


Meagan and I thought it would be funny to get the "train" and take pictures. I guess the driver was really bored because he came running over and gave us a free ride lol When we got back Mahala wanted to ride so he gave us another ride!

Looks about right... Ross and Tyrel



On Christmas Eve the weather was so nice that we decided to get out of the house and go to the park. Jackson loved going down the slide.










Then we came home and made gingerbread houses. Jackson was more into eating the candy then building the house.

After Jackson went to sleep Ross and I made our gingerbread house. It took way to long and by the end we didn't care what it looked like. It helped that Haelie and her boyfriend came to the house and helped with it at the end!

CHRISTMAS DAY! I didn't get many pictures at all. I was helping Jackson and didn't think to take any. Also in Ross's family they don't go around and open gifts one at a time so everyone can see. They have them in piles and everyone opens at will so it was hard to take pictures.
