Christmas in Utah



We quickly got better from our flu bug, (Taylor never caught it, THANK GOODNESS!) and off we went to Utah!



Mercedes was VERY excited for the flight. I kind of enjoy flights also. At least the short ones.


My sweet husband.

My youngest brother Slade was kind enough to give up his room for a week so that Taylor and I could stay in it.


Mercedes loved his toys.



Mercedes had her first experience with snow! Actually, this was about all we got this Christmas. A very light dusting. At least she got to see it falling through the air.


Taylor did A LOT of r&r, which was definitely needed.


This human being here is my brother Jordan. He just returned from serving a full-time mission in Chile. Ladies he is single.
As always I got to get together with my life-long best friend Lacey. Can you believe these two little creatures are our children??
We were just eight years old when Lacey moved into the house right across the street. We were best friends almost instantly. This photo of us was taken when we were maybe ten.
Now in just a handful of years our kids will be that age.
After the babies were in bed us and our hubbies got together to watch movies.

(Christmas day)
Preparing for dinner on Christmas Eve.


Christmas eve dinner.
Christmas morning was so strange because we had to get up for Church which was at 9 a.m! When we got back home we changed back into our PJ's and did the presents.
Mercedes got quite spoiled.
Here's my dad, mom and brother Morgan. (Also single, but preparing for a mission).
And here are my brothers Slade and Jordan. Unfortunately my brother Addison, sister-in-law Ana and their two boys were sick the whole time we were in Utah and so we didn't get to see them. :( Next trip guys!
It was a very fun Christmas! We took more photos but they are on our Ipad and I haven't removed them yet. These will just have to do for now.

I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, and also a Happy New Year!

How fun! Christmas in Utah at the infamous Lane-and-Jenne-Steinagel home. Lots of good memories there! And how fun that you got to see Lacey. I love seeing my best friends who are married with kids. It's just one of the neatest experiences. :)
