Christmas in Utah

We had a FABULOUS time in Utah and were soooo happy that we got to see both sides of the family over Christmas. Here's a bunch of pictures from our trip...most don't need any explanation other than we had a great time ! :o)
We got to Jack's parents' early enough for Jaxon to help decorate the tree with Grandma Char.
Hanging with Lau family.

Lights at Temple Square.
It was COLD that night and Jack was a good sport letting his wife drag him around in it. :o) Jaxon was too bundled up to give much voice to everything we saw...but I think he liked seeing all the fabulous lights...guess we'll never know. :o)
When we went to visit my sister, she was cat-sitting for a friend and Jaxon LOVED playing with the cat. He would chase it around and just basically bug the cat like crazy, but she didn't seem to mind too much.
Hanging with Uncle Ezzie.
Making a gingerbread house.

Jaxon actually did so well with this project. He put on a lot of the candy all my himself and surprisingly didn't eat as much of it as we thought he would. I love these kits that you can buy now with everything all included. Soooooo much easier than doing things from scratch. :o)Christmas Eve and Jaxon in his Christmas jams. I LOVE these jammies of his. My favorite are his little striped elf pants. He was up so late and just being so silly dancing around towards the end of the night. It was hilarious.
Girls opening our gift from Jack and Char...which I LOVED!!
Jack and some of his his bro-in-laws opening their present. They were all very happy with their Gerbers. :o)I was surprised Jaxon knew what to do with this toy of his cousin's. As soon as we got to Kim's he just picked up a ball and threw it through the hoop. Future NBA star in the making. :o)Christmas morning. Sooooo much fun watching Jaxon open his presents. Everything seems so much more special and exciting when viewed through the eyes of an almost 2 year old. :o)
Jack got a new iPod touch for Christmas and spent most of Christmas day playing with his new toy...while Jaxon and I watched on. :o) My parents were able to bring me some of my favorite foods from Canada and we opened some of it up on Christmas day. My ALL TIME FAVORITE snack are ketchup chips...and they HAVE to be Old Dutch. :o) Well, we were surprised to discover that Jaxon also loved them too. Unfortunately, he chowed through the bag as much as I did and the chips did not last that long. :o(Playing out in the snow.
We miss all our Utah family so much already. Thank you for such a good time!!
