Christmas with the Guerisoli's

The 2nd half of our time in Utah was spent in St. George with our Guerisoli family. Brent arrived on Christmas Eve so I was a loner for a few days without him. Everyone in the family was there and it was really nice to be together. Brookie thoroughly enjoyed her cousins and attention from grandparents and aunts and uncles. We just don't get to see family too often and so it was great that she formed some strong bonds!

Scene of a Christmas morning

We spent one night at my sister in law's family's cabin about 45 minutes outside of St. George. There was an abundance of snow, food, games, hot chocolate and an open fire. It was fun and Christmassy...

Randi and her boyfriend, Seth, the newly returned missionary - at the cabin

Chris and Liesy - at the cabin. I was basically their third wheel all week!

OKAY my pics are WAY out of order... sorry

Back to Christmas...

Brookie and I got matching aprons and she would not take her apron off the rest of Christmas day!

Us in our aprons preparing the salad for Christmas dinner

We had a program on Christmas Eve which is atypical for Brent's family but we're trying to get them to do some new traditions! Brent wrote new words to Adam Sandler's Thanksgiving song about the whole family, and we sang that together... pretty funny.

Very talented sisters in law - Amber sings and AnnElise playing the flute

We had a wonderful time with Brent's family and are sad it came to a close way too fast!!
