jolly holidays

we had some fabulous holidays and i'm proud to say i have a few pictures to document it. although, as i think back on all that we did, i should have much more...we started the festivities with our own little christmas on the 23rd, then left for utah on the 24th. thus, the 22nd was our christmas eve so we all unwrapped one gift and got the traditional christmas pjs. jack was not impressed to say the least, but was polite about it, reassuring himself that there were many more packages waiting to be opened the next morning. but we did get a jammies picture above.
this is jack modeling my christmas present from shawn, and i dare say they look much better on me. i actually bought them myself 2 weeks previous. thanks, babe!
some of the fav presents on "christmas day".

once we packed up and made it to utah the real party began.
with grandpa and his new train.
the gals with our new aprons that cindy gave us...LOVE THEM!!! don't judge, we did not shower before the unwrapping of the gifts.
"sleeping" with cousin court at the gibbs family christmas party.

sadly i have not one picture with my family, but we partied with them a bunch as well. shawn and i were lucky enough to go through the temple with my brother mike for his first time. that was incredibly special. and there were parties, parties, and more parties and wedding receptions and family pictures and movies and hot-tubbing...we didn't want to come home.
