The holiday roundup

A week or so after Thanksgiving, NorCal was hit with a major winter storm. It finally made it feel like Christmas was coming.....

(My parents' home. I was so bummed to miss out on the fun. )

I shouldn't have worried about missing the snow, because I spent Christmas in Utah for the first time in my life. Brrrr. It was beautiful and snowy, but FREEZING.

It was fun to have a family party before Christmas and still be able to visit with a few family members at their homes Christmas morning.

I've missed highlighting my awesome nephew and niece who are 17 and 15. They are a so fun to hang out with.


Tucker


Sadey


Trev, Cody, Tucker, and Sadey


Curtis, Tami, Carson, Summer, Tanner


Laura, Josh, Noah, Clara


Jon and Peg

I inadvertently didn't take any pictures of Lissy and Mark. I am lame. They were one of the main reasons I even came out to Utah in the first place. So sorry.

The other BIG reason to be in Utah was....
little Noelle


Kjelly was really excited to meet his sister. He adores her already.





A new addition to the family was a perfect way to end a lovely family holiday ( and the year! )
