We went to Utah for Christmas this year. Jacob and I went early in December because I was supposed to teach a class at the University of Phoenix. It got cancelled, but we had already booked our flights so I figured why not go have fun with family! It was so fun to be with family for a whole month! We loved every minute of it.
We did lots of things to celebrate Christmas - family parties with the Loos', went to Temple Square to see the lights with Rita, Dave, Fran and Bill, had a family Christmas party with my immediate family (including facetime with the Florida Sudweeks!) etc. We loved spending so much time with our family and can't wait to be back in Utah to play some more.
On Christmas Eve, we went to great Grandpa and Grandma Sudweeks' family Christmas party and Jacob was a shepherd in the nativity. He was so darling! After much persuading, Steve was a shepherd with him. We didn't get that great of pictures unfortunately. I'll have to see if I can find more pictures from someone else. In the meantime, this is what we've got:
Since this was Jacob's first Christmas, he didn't quite understand the opening of gifts, but he still did great. He even said "vroom vroom" when he opened a pack of cars! He had never said that before and he's never said it since then but it was perfect for Christmas morning.
You're about to get an overload of pictures... I just can't narrow it down. Christmas is so much more fun with kids. I can't wait for the many Christmas mornings in the future!
