Christmas Fun

We had a wonderful Utah Christmas.  We were a little starved for winter when we left Arizona and were excited to be greeted with cool air and snow when we stepped off the plane!  


We discovered Noelle's coat was a little too big.

 Noelle met "Gingy"... It's a long story.

She played her first songs on the piano.

Noelle had so much fun with her grandparents and aunts and uncles (and adopted aunts).

Christmas Day was so fun.

We spent the morning at my parents.  We all got lots of goodies and Noelle had fun chewing on toys and garbage.

We spent the evening at Corey's parents' where we ate a delicious dinner and opened more great gifts.

Noelle got some really great gifts from her grandparents.  Karen cross-stitched and sewed each granddaughter a darling stocking and Larry made a beautiful music box for each one too.  Noelle's plays "What Child is This".

We had fun doing regular things, like baths.  She didn't mind the sink as long as she had a toy to play with (in this case a bowl).

 And playing with Dad.

We were so glad we could attend the blessing of our first niece and Noelle's first cousin, Sabrina.  Sabrina was such a good girl for her blessing and looked so cute in her dress.  Noelle was so good during the blessing and church...

And then not so much when we tried to get pictures of the two granddaughters.  She was being so wiggly and grouchy I tried holding her upside down for the picture :) 

Our Christmas vacation went by in a flash, as we knew we would.  We can't wait until next year (ha)!
