We finally went to visit my parents in Salt Lake since once a year isn't good enough for them. :) We don't mind being there, but we could do without the drive and all the tons of people there. Made us even more happy to be home!
Jared put all the kids on the fridge before we left. Aly was grumpy I think so he got her to smile by putting her up there and then the boys joined her.
Our first stop was Scheels. We brought lunch and ate it in the parking lot and then went inside. My brother came and joined us. It was a lot of fun to see him! He held Aly while I went to the bathroom and they looked at the fish and she let him hold her the rest of the time. She LOVED the airplane. She says airplane anytime she can see or hear one.
The boys in front of the Santa Moose (and a lot of other animals that they loved looking at).
They have these little picture spots so Crue, Cooper, Aly, and my brother Lex went and stood in one.
They have a ferris wheel inside that is only $1 a person to ride! Aly was too little so Jared stayed with her so I could go with the boys since he took them the only other time they've been on one. It's been a while since I've been on a ferris wheel. I was fine once we were going but when it was stopping to get everyone off and the baskets would shake a little every time, it was kind of nerve wracking!
We went to Temple Square and City Creek Center while we were there. The boys got to ride on dad and grandpa and I had Aly in the framed carrier that she LOVES (so much in fact that we put her in it at my parents' house and she got mad if anyone tried to take her out or even take the cover off).
It was so beautiful!
Crue and Cooper in front of the reflection pond.
We went to St. George on Christmas Eve like we do every year. These are the 2nd cousins that were there minus Aly and one other baby. Berlin, Crue, Dresdin (Berlin's brother), Kyri, Cooper, Berklee (Kyri's sister).
Aly hung out/hid by the xylophone for a while. Not sure why but I made sure I got a picture.
And of course there's always the singing! Aunt Louise played and everyone there sings so well that it's wonderful to listen to!
