Christmas this year was one to remember! All of my siblings were in town, it was the first time all the grand babies were together, and we got to spend some time with BJ's fiance. It was pretty much a week full of hanging out and enjoying each others company. My kind of Christmas!!
One night I remember thinking how fun it is to see our family growing and coming together. I love that my siblings and siblings-in-law are some of my best friends. And even when someone new comes along and joins the family, it's like they've always been there, and I'd rather hang out with them than almost anyone else! I guess we just know how to pick 'em :)
We went to Fogo de Chao for Christmas Eve dinner and it was soooo good! Thanks dad!
We also went to our first movie since Nolan was born (yay for grandparents who love to babysit! :)) We actually saw two -- The Hobbit and Into the Woods (we wanted to see Unbroken, but it was sold out, boo).
Justin's family also drove to town the day after Christmas so we got to spend some time with them as well which was great.
Lastly, since most everyone was already in town we decided to bless Nolan in Las Vegas the Sunday after Christmas. I felt the Spirit so strongly as Justin gave him a beautiful blessing.
Here are some pictures from our fun Christmas week in Las Vegas!
