Gotta love the Holidays!

There is nothing better than being home for the holidays. We just got back from spending two weeks in Utah and had the best time. We spent lots of time with family and friends. We got to meet our new niece Vela and our new nephew Ezra. We unfortunately don't have pictures of everyone who we saw, but we will share the pictures we do have...
One of the main things I loved about being home is that we got to see my parents new house all decorated for the holidays. My mom has such fabulous taste! Little Vela was in the hospital on Christmas Eve, so she missed out on all the festivities but didn't complain one bit! She is so adorable and such a sweet baby.
My mom turned 60 while we were home and we had a big party for her. My mom is so wonderful, we were happy we got to be there to celebrate with her!
Halle and Hunter both had the chicken pox while we were there. We did not get to see too much of them unfortunately.
We did get in lots of relaxation time while we were there!

We went to Becky and Hema's for New Years and partied! It was a lot of fun.
I don't have many pictures of the Fillmore's but we had lots of fun with them also. We went sledding, played games, Fat Cats, we saw the Nutcracker(my first time), we went to the Hale Center Theater and spend lots of time talking and catching up.
We love both of our families so much and love how each time we see them...there are more of them! We love you all and miss you more!
