Christmas Re-cap

Quinn and I kicked off the Christmas Season with his work party. Quinn was working for a great and fast-growing company called Security Metrics. The party was fabulous: huge prime rib dinner, dancing, games, raffle, etc., held in the UVU event center. He has since left the company for another opportunity (more information to follow).

My parents brought us to Chicago for Christmas this year- what a party! My brother Jake and his family and my sister Emily and her family were also there for the festivities:-) We went caroling, acted out the Nativity (pictured above), played games, went shopping, eat A LOT, opened presents, shared some sicknesses, and had a fabulous time.
Belle had a blast watching and chasing her cousins- she came home feeling very grown-up and she's been very into tea parties and learning new words.

The night we made it home to Utah, Belle opened her presents from us...

I think Quinn and I enjoyed watching Belle open her presents more than she enjoyed opening them:-)

Here she is in her new hat and mittens, holding a new baby, waving hello to her new train:-)

We got to celebrate Christmas with Quinn's family too... it was a very merry Christmas for us this year;-)

Quinn had a lot of fun with his brothers...

Belle was ridiculously spoiled for the third time and loved every minute of attention from her grandparents, great grandparents, aunts, and uncles.
