{family pictures}

We really needed an updated family picture so we met up with Brittany to take them. 

 The bad part of the plan was that it was seriously FREEZING! 

 It was like 17 degrees. 

It is hard to make cute faces when you are frozen.

  Better luck next time!...still sweet to capture this time!

Uncle Michael and Aunt Amanda and Rock came too!

{christmas in utah}

We REALLY had such a wonderful Christmas in Utah. 

 It was so nice to get together with family and celebrate the holidays.  We loved seeing everyone...we mostly just had fun and did not take many pictures...not everyone is represented!:)

{christmas at home}

We decided to have our own little "Christmas morning" before we left for Utah.

  We let the kids open their presents from us and to each other and also the ones that they picked out for us.  It was so fun and we all had a really nice time.

  Here is our Christmas in Illinois.

The kids hugging after they gave each other their gifts.

Eliza REALLY loved all of Henry's gifts:)

Henry helping Eliza with her new girlie legos.

Eliza had to have a picture just like Dad... with Dad's new coat.

I came back into the room and Eliza had put on the little stocking that my Neeny had made for me when I was little.  It says "Mimi" on it, which is what she called me.



{more chistmas decorations}

We changed some of our decorations around and Henry really wanted to go around and take new pictures of our home for his Grandparents to see.  Enjoy!



Henry then decided to be IN the pictures!

Proof that Chris is SASSY!
