Finally, Our Holiday!

Our Holidays were VERY busy! Jared had his two aunts, one uncle, his aunts best friend, and a cousin come to America for Christmas. They are CRAZY to come during this season, but they wanted a "White Christmas". In Australia they ususally spend Christmas on the beach! They came the first of December. Jared's family drove to Cal to pick them up there and go do Disneyland. Then they drove here during one of the many crazy snow storms. It was really fun to get to know them. I met June and Dennis(the ones on Jared's right) in Australia, but only for like an hour and a half. We went to all the sights around Utah. You forget how many we do have, until you have to show people them.










We went to this sing-along- Christmas carols at the Engery Solutions Arena. It was pretty cool. If was free and I would highly suggest it for anyone next year. They have a live band that plays, and the programs have all the words to the songs going to be sung! FUN, and its FREE!








We then walked up to Temple Square to see the lights. Last year we had a picture with a big group of just family. Someone asked us if we were having a "family reunion". Funny! We just told them that we just have a big family! Not to mention we were missing a lot of people. Sarah, Micah and Louisa, and the twins Eliza and Jessica. Crazy to think this picture would be even bigger(oh plus I'm not in it because I took the picture) Anyways, they thought the Temple was beautiful! R was a lot more fun this year. She actually liked looking at the lights!

This is my cute family! Sorry for the picture placement change, I couldn't handle it with the picture on the left!
R was a lot more fun this Christmas, and LOVES his babies she got. They came in a two for one thing, so I figured if one got lost or dirty she still has her other one! She also loves her Christmas jamies from Grandma Trease!

While the Aussies were here we also went tubing up at Soldier Hollow. Its kind-of pricey, but worth it once a season! GREAT FUN!!! I don't have any pictures of that. For New Years we were able to go up to Emma's bosses house in Park City. Again I forgot my camera, but for some great shots, look at Kiara's web page. It was a perfect quick getaway! Plus you have the outlet malls close by, can't go bad with that! Anyways, it has been a very busy Holidays! But was great! To all those who read this HAPPY NEW YEAR ( I know, I'm a little late!)
