Mom & Dad on Christmas Morning

We had a fun but busy time in Utah this Christmas.  We got to Utah on the 24th and surprised my family.  They did not think we were coming until Christmas day, so we rang the doorbell and when they answered we sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas."  Then we spent Christmas Eve with Greg's family playing games and eating pizza.  Christmas Day started early and ended late.  We opened presents with my family, went to visit Greg's family, and rounded off the night at my Grandma's house.  On the 26th my sister and her husband and my brother and his wife flew into town.  Greg's brothers' from Portland and North Carolina were also in town.  The rest of the time we were in Utah was spent going back and forth trying to spend equal time with each family.  Some highlights of our trip are...PF. Chang & Temple Square, Colton & Greg went to the Jazz Game, Family Parties, Cards & Cafe Rio, Basketball Pick Up Game with the Boys, Shopping with the Girls, Greg's skiing trip, Kids being pulled behind the snowmobile on tubes, etc.  After all the fun and parties we were happy to come home and relax for a few days before Greg had to go back to work!

I love all the pictures! Crew is so cute, but I think I partial to one year olds right now. I'm glad you had a nice Christmas with all of your family. I'm super jealous that you got to go to Temple Square and see the lights. We missed doing that this year.
