Christmas in Utah

We spent Christmas with Grandma and Grandpa B. It was magical.

On the night of the 23rd, we had a super fancy dinner at the Log Haven up Millcreek Canyon in Salt Lake City. It was the most delicious and beautiful place. If you ever want something super fancy, I recommend it. I found the two following photos from their website www.log-haven.com. Sadly, I didn't take pictures of my own. We had dinner with Matt & Kelly, Annette, Matt B, Grandma a& Grandpa, and Erick & me. It really was so nice.

On the Christmas Eve, we started our evening with a yummy dinner at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Annette took the dinner picture. I stole it from her facebook account.

After that we had an absolutely magical evening. The kids acted out the Nativity in costumes custom made by Grandma. Joey, Bailey, and little Molly were angels. Scott was a wise man. TJ and Rees were Joseph and Mary. David was a shepherd.

Joey and Bailey sang a song for us. Bailey and Annette played the piano. Grandpa read from his old English antique Bible. We all sang some of our favorite hymns. Molly was a rogue angel. She was cracking us all up as she ran all over the place squealing with delight. Ha! Such fun memories.

Here is everyone who joined us: Grandma & Grandpa; Matt & Kelly with their kids Scott, Rees, and Molly; Matt, who now has is own awesome place in Bountiful; Annette who made the trip from California; Erick & me with our kids Joey, Bailey, TJ, and David.

After that, Grandma gave all the grand-kids new pajamas. Then she read them a Christmas Story. This year, it was about the Candy Bomber of WWII. The kids were way too excited to sleep, so they watched A Miracle on 34th Street for the first time.

After they finally fell into a deep sleep, Santa came. He brought Joey a guitar, Bailey a kindle, TJ an electric scooter, and David a toddler-sized scooter. It was a good Christmas!
