More St. George

The lady who owns the house that we rented had an old 63 Cadillac in the garage. She left a note saying that we could take it for a drive it we wanted. JJ pulled it out of the garage and we took a spin in it. What a big car!! I don't think I could park that car in a parking lot if I tried.

It sure had alot of room in the trunk.

This is the house we stayed in. The little house to the left is where we slept. It has an upstairs and a downstairs. We stayed downstairs, the room had it's own bathroom. Then upstairs there was a little loft above the room with a bunch of beds. All the little kids piled in that room and loft, they also had their own bathroom. It was a great setup for lots of people. It was also alot warmer down there then it is up here in Provo. We drove home to find snow and cold weather.

I just want to get Down!

These are the pictures that we will not be using. This just illustrates the struggles of getting a good picture with a small child. I think her face is so funny in some of these pictures.

Family Pictures

JJ's side of the family hasn't been together in about a year and half. We decided we should take some nice family portraits since we were all together. JJ's mom hired a photographer to come and take some nice pictures. The photographer didn't show up so we had to do the best we could with our camera's. There were alot of cameras going off all at once so these are the best they got, in most of them we are all looking at different camera's or are not looking at all. That I guess just how it goes with small children and a large group.

Christmas Day

Christmas morning we got up and made a yummy breakfast as a family. We then opened presents from each other and family. Lucy got some fun new toys and loves to play with them. We mainly took video so we don't really have any pictures of her with her new toys. I will have to take some with her playing with them. That afternoon we went up to Salt Lake to JJ's sister's house and we had a nice dinner and gift exchange with them. It was a very nice Christmas.

Lights on Temple Square

After our gift exchange we had Dinner with Kelsey and Todd. After dinner we went up to Temple Square and saw the Christmas lights. They were so pretty! Kelsey had never been up there to see the lights before. I am glad we were able to take them up there to see the lights, we all had alot of fun.


It was so cold up there, Lucy was a good sport.

After we got back from Temple Square we went back to Kelsey and Todd's and had warm apple pie and hot chocolate. It warmed us up and hit the spot. What a fun time.
