MERRY CHRISTMAS!

merry christmas from the dolls!

i love christmas time and this year we got to spend it with my side of the family! it's the first time we've all been together since april and it was wonderful! 

the drive down was stressful with lots of worries of bad weather. but, i was so proud of myself...i drove in the snow! and i mean real driving in snow. not just going to the store real quick. last time we had to do a road trip in the snow i was a little less than helpful...we won't talk about that though

jonathan got to experience his first christmas with his cute cousins, hailey and delilah! look at them all together, they're adorable!

the best part of christmas is getting to spend time with all our family! we got to see my brother ryan and his wife, kiley who we haven't gotten to see since april and who knows when we will get to see them again! its such a treat to have the whole family together for christmas and my mom made her famous cinnamon rolls! we demand them every year; they just complete the christmas morning experience!

we also got to go tubing at brian head resort just north of  hurricane. it was so much fun racing down the mountain! and jonathan was absolutely adorable wearing 5 layers of snow suits and jackets!

sadly though almost everyone got sick. it started with hailey and moved to me and topher, then ryan and now jonathan has a cold, too. not the best way to end christmas! especially when you have to go back to work.

on real christmas we had to travel back to rexburg. so jonathan's first christmas was spent in a car. a little disappointing but to mine and topher's relief he slept the entire way! and he still slept during the night! it was our very own christmas miracle!

but we did get to celebrate a little bit and he got lots of new toys he doesn't know what to do with. when they make noise he just stares at it trying to figure out what it means.

i hope you all had a very merry christmas and have a happy new year!
