Our Merry Christmas in UTAH!

So we got to go home to Utah for Christmas and spend time with both families. We had such a great time and it was fun to watch all of the little kids open presents. We had a surprise for everyone when we got off the plane. We had made a little shirt for Lil Marsh that said "BIG brother in TRAINING" and he stepped off the plane to make our pregnancy announcement. I am due the end of July and can't wait for the new addition to our family! While in Utah, we were able to send our son with his cousins to ride the Polar Express with Grammy and Grandpa, attend both family's Christmas parties, sleep over at my parent's on Christmas eve and play Guitar Hero and Dance Dance Revolution, go to Island Park with my in- laws, and spend a little New Years party time at each parent's house. We were sad to leave, but sooo grateful for such wonderful families who always love and support us and spoil us 24-7! Thanks for a great trip Jones and Meier Families!:)

Lil Marsh and cousin Matt trying out their new Transformer guns---I swear those two didn't slow down the entire night!
My mom had the kids dress up and act out baby Jesus' birth/manger scene. They were so cute, and each one said their little part perfectly!
Marshall was the shepherd who "watched his flocks by night"....and he wouldn't let go of the lamb
Belle was the star that shone so BRIGHT!
McKenlie and Kylie were angels for the manger scene
Marshall and Grant's best sides captured during Guitar Hero!
Lil Marsh and cousin Kylie jammin on Guitar Hero!
Awwwhh....He loves his Optimus Prime Transformer!
Taking a trip to Island Park in West Yellowstone with my in-laws. It was a great trip and probably the coldest trip we've had up there!

Yea! Congratulations on the pregnancy! That is so exciting! I hope you are feeling well!

I love how serious your son's face looks as he examines his stocking treasures. Priceless!

I love the pictures of Marshall with all of his Christmas loot. The expression on his face when he is on his bike is priceless! We are so glad you were able to come for Christmas. It was so fun to have you here.

PS I saw the little Mr and Mrs Santa in the picture with Dixie and their little candles brought back some fun memories
