Christmas 2010

Merry Christmas... 2010! It was so fun to go back to Utah again and see friends and fam. I left on December 21st and Jeff joined us on the 23rd. I was able to stay and have fun for about 3 weeks and Jeff stayed for a week. It was so nice to celebrate Christmas with the lights, snow, cold, hot chocolate, fireplace, mountains and cafe rio :). ha ha well you know what i mean.

This year we were able to mix the families again on Christmas Eve and it was great! We did the traditional fondue dinner.. yummy. We had Jeff's fam- (but we sure missed Rob and Chels and fam!) and my family (and we also missed B&B!). Then we slept at my mom's and celebrated Christmas morning there and then back over the Woods.

Izzy's First Christmas! Wow it was so fun to have her with us this Christmas.

here she is in her beautiful christmas dress :)

Here we all are at Liz's! Ready to open our poppers before the wonderful fondue eats

christmas morning!!!

You think that we would have her in a xmas cute little pj outfit... but the truth is we couldn't really find it and we just loved this puma one so we put her in that. :)

We had a great time staying at Liz's and my mom's while in town. Always nice to get help from the wonderful Grandmas!

This was the annual Johnson/Hale/Larson/Kimball party at the Kimball home

Here is me and my great friend Kristina and her new little one Beckham! he is darling. Him and Iz will be married one day.

So I really just took pics of Iz while in town ;) poor little girl got sick while in town. Everyone gets sick in Utah.. bummer. Her little cold turned into an ear infection... but she is all better now. I was going to pull my hair out though b/c she was up literally every hour for about 2 weeks. my mom and I were trying everything! Humidifiers, vaporizers, heaters, tipping her up at night, swinging her in her carseat, you name it. when I found out she had an ear infection... I felt so bad! then I told her she could get up as much as she wanted :). i look up to all you other moms with sick kids- an ear infection is nothing compared to other things! cheer to you.

wow doesn't she look like Jeff? darling little one.

Having fun with Nana, Grandma Liz and Mema Laurie

These were her sick days but she still is so cute! Grandmas were so helpful!! izzy loved being around everyone.

cute Aunt Judy made her this darling beanie

We had a great time watching movies every night, going to movies, dinners, lunches with friends, xmas parties, and family get togethers. Thank you family for such an amazing Christmas!

I had a great time staying the last couple of weeks. My mom just had knee surgery and we would be able to just lounge in the day and rent movies at night. I was able to get take out from all of my favorite Utah restaurants! I got together with my high school friends so many times and their cute kids and I loved it! I wish I could do playgroups with you guys all of the time. It just makes me miss you more :). can't wait for all of your new babies to come...

miss everyone already!
