St. George

Most of my family was able to get together in St. George for a Christmas party this year.  We love it down there, and it was a lot of fun!  Our first night, some of us went to the Tuacahn theater to see their live Nativity.  That theater is amazing, and the kids really enjoyed it.  Now I think we need a camel in our back yard! :)

Sunday, after bombarding some poor un-expecting ward with all 31 of us, we had our official party.  The cousins all drew names and had a gift exchange.  They also all got a chance to preform some amazing talents for everyone.
 Maxwell rocked out to "Dynamite" while Savannah sang "Rockin' around the Christmas Tree".  I was impressed they knew every word!  Savannah was a little nervous and would not take her eyes off me.  Immediately after she finished her song, she raced to the couch and hid her face.  She did a great job though.
 Another day, we went on a little hike.  The kids loved exploring.  Papa was nice enough to hang out with the slow pokes in the the back. (Max and Millie)

 An attempt to get all of the grandkids together with Grandma and Papa.  Some of them are hiding though.
 Remember my goal to make my family take more pictures?
 Ahhhh....how cute!
Right after I said that Sawyer never falls asleep anywhere but his bed, he crashes on Dad's shoulders.  It was a long day for the little guy.
We had a lot of fun, and it was nice to have (almost) everyone together.  Thanks Jake and Krystal for hooking us all up with a place to stay!
