We celebrated Christmas a week early in Ohio so we wouldn’t have to take all our presents with us to Utah. It was extremely confusing for Carly to understand that it wasn’t actually Christmas when we were opening the presents. We ended up telling Santa to drop off her presents in Utah so she got to open her presents from Casey and me and Holland at home.
Casey and I got each other iPhones for Christmas, and we got an Xbox with Kinect for a family present.
We got Holland this animated rocking horse and she was freaked out by it for a few days, but once she saw how much fun Carly was having on it she gave it a try :)
Carly got “less” fun presents from us for Christmas (like books etc.) and we saved the more exciting ones to be from Santa (we bought them once we got to Utah). We had to do this because she kept trying to find her Christmas presents and found most of them, little stinker!
Holland loves this little baby she got from us
We spent our Utah Christmas vacation first at the Greens house. It was so exciting to see Casey’s brother Tyson’s new baby Porter that they just adopted a few weeks before. They found out the day of the baby’s birth that they got a baby, crazy huh! After a few days shopping and eating tons of Mexican food we headed down to Provo for a few days. We spent Christmas Eve there and then Christmas day we traveled back up to Centerville for a few days.
Best cousin friends reunited!

Carly got to be Mary in the Nativity
Every year my parents give all the kids/in laws some kind of BYU gift and this year we all got BYU beanies! My sisters Kari (Left) and Kristen (Right) are both pregnant and due around the same time
Look what Santa brought!
It snowed almost everyday while we were in Utah and Holland and Carly loved it!

We ate Mexican food almost everyday, we were in heaven! Here we’re eating at one of our favs in Bountiful, El Matador.
We flew home on New Year Eve, and our flight got in at 11:55 p.m. We spent our New Years on the tarmac.
We had such a fun time visiting family and friends in Utah. I love the feeling of being back at home and staying up late laughing with family! I hope everyone had a great Christmas!
