Merry Christmas and Happy New Year----very long post of pics.:)

We hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year's! We got to take the kids to New York before heading to Utah to spend some quality time with family. It was a great trip.....freeezing cold, crowded and of course so fun to see all of the Christmas lights and the huge Rockefeller Center tree. Both of our families live so close together in Utah so it was a lot of back and forth between family events. We had so much fun celebrating the season with everyone and it was great for all of the kids to be able to play 24-7. Here are quite a few pics of our adventures....feel free to just skim them because I realize there are a lot. :) Marshall and Elmo The Marshalls at Angelo's pizza....fine quality New York style pizza and we will definitely be dining there again....the fresh mozzarella and basil alone invites you!
Me and Savana at FAO Swartz
Marsh and me at Central Park
The famous tree at Rockefeller Center
Awwwhhhh.....Catherine and Caroline------miss them already!
Sitting on Santa's lap at a Hospital benefit that we go to every year....Savana was not too happy about Santa's beard.:)
My friends Mistie, Candace, Stephanie, Natalie and Somer from our room #844 days at Utah State
It was so great to have the kids stage the nativity scene while we read from the scriptures.....gotta love that my niece Kylie is wearing the afghan off of the couch over her head. :) Aren't made up costumes the best? The only way to go!
Christmas morning right after we realized that Care was wearing my mom's flannel pants from 1992!......hey, it's all about comfort right?
Every time Savana opened something, she held her hand up and said "hi....hi!"
Grammy and Marshall on Christmas morning
Not sure my dad was ready for the picture to be taken....and so of course that's why I'm posting it!
The Marshalls ridin' the Mountain Max
Celebrating Christmas at the Meier's cabin.... so fun watching all of the kids together. :)
Savana is so attached to her purse....she holds her arm up and walks around so that it doesn't fall off.
My friends Alex, Angie, Danica, Amy, Andrea, Lindsay and Shannon.....and it all started at the good ol' Sports Mall. So fun to stay in touch through the years!:)
Here is my parents' condo in St. George....we had fun spending New Year's Eve there this year
Marshall still sporting a black eye from the week before....He was coaching wrestling and got hit in the face......maybe 30 year olds shouldn't wrestle high school kids anymore!jk....but seriously
Lil buds Marshall and Belle
Gabe, Belle and Savana enjoying some bath time fun

Catherine and me
Yep....another classic moment of us taking pics
And here are the girls in their piggy jams....obviously. :)

Catherine said...

Couple of questions for ya . . . Why do I look 20 years older than you? Why would that lady not get out of the Santa Claus picture? And How the heck is your skin so dark???
PS Care is going to be ticked when she sees the picture of her sporting Mom's 1992 flannels!

Loved having you around!
