Christmas 2015

We're back from our 10 day Christmas vacation with family and trying to catch up on sleep and eat less sweets. We headed to Utah the Friday before Christmas to spend a few days there with Keith's parents and sister. Yes, I got to eat In-and-Out, we went to Temple Square to see the lights, out to dinner with Keith's extended family, and made gingerbread houses with the family.

On Monday the 21st we all headed up to Rexburg to spend the rest of the vacation until Sunday with all of Keith's siblings and parents. We decided to have it in Rexburg this year because Keith's brother's wife just had a baby in November and they didn't want to travel. So we packed all 15 of us in a house in Sugar City right outside of Rexburg to enjoy the holiday. We spent the week-- shopping, baking sweets, cooking, playing games, playing in the snow, sledding, watching movies, and doing all our traditional activities on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. We had quite the time and enjoyed all the snow we got all week, it was especially nice getting snow all day Christmas Eve. The day after Christmas we threw Catherine (Keith's sister) a baby shower since she is expecting her first child in May. Sunday we took family pictures then had to make the 6 1/2 hour drive home to Wyoming. It was definitely a memorable Christmas for sure!

My pictures aren't the best since they're just from my phone..

Yesterday, the 28th was our 8th anniversary. We decided to keep it low key because Keith is getting sick and we were still unwinding and tired from our vacation. Keith had to work most of the day but that evening we went to dinner at Firerock steakhouse while my friend watched Carson.
