We were lucky enough to go to Utah for two weeks in December. It was great to spend time with family and friends. Once again, I didn't take very many pictures so I will do our whole trip in one post.
The first night we were in Utah we went to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir's Annual Christmas Concert. We didn't have time to look at the lights at Temple Square but City Creek had beautiful lights that we enjoyed on our way back to the car.
Isabelle and Adie came to the concert. I just love these girls!
So good to be back in Utah!
Utah got a ton of snow while we were there! I was so happy to have a white Christmas!
I didn't get to see very many friends this trip, but I did get to spend most of a weekend with my best friend, Natalie. We went and got sushi Friday night and stayed up till two in the morning talking. The next morning Natalie had to work and I ran a 5k. Once she was done with work, we went to brunch at Red Rock and then went for a walk around Liberty Park. It was so nice to have so much time with Nat!
Walking in Liberty Park
A beautiful day for a walk!
I sure love this park.
After my fun day with Natalie, we went to my moms house for her Christmas party. There was the most beautiful sunset that night! I miss Utah's amazing sunsets.
On Christmas Eve we went to the movie Lincoln with my mom and then went to Shannon and Matt's Christmas Eve fondue party. We spent Christmas running from house to house, trying to see all our family. We were able to see everyone, but were exhausted by the end of the day. It was still a wonderful Christmas!
We were also in Utah for my 26th birthday! I had a great day. I had breakfast with my mom, had coffee with Natalie, went on a shopping spree with Steve (shocking, I know!), and then went to dinner with Shannon, Matt, Mayke, Trevor, Dana and Brandon. It was a great, low key, birthday.
Thanks again to Matt and Shannon for letting us take over your house. I already miss everyone so much and it breaks my heart that it might have been our last Christmas in Utah for awhile.
I do have high hopes for 2013. This is the year we FINALLY get to move from Harrogate, I will graduate in May, Steve starts his rotations and will be half way done with med school, and I did my annual headstand on New Years so that should bring us plenty of luck.
Happy New Year! I hope 2013 is great for all of us.
