Santa at Tuachan with Grammy and Papa Rich!

While in St. George, we got to go to Tuacahn-- I don't know how to spell it... they have Santa, singing, lights, and a live Nativity- ah! I love it!

Here we are waiting to see Santa- loved it!

It was cold- but thankfully they had their adorable matching coats!

I can't even stand the baby blues!

I love Christmas- it is such a happy time- filled with love.

lots of it!

Emmy with one of her favorite people!

This is the only picture I got with both of them- and the ONLY first Santa picture with Ellie that is even passable-- what a winner huh?

We got to see the live nativity- I cried through the whole thing-- seeing it done with "real" people sitting in the cold really puts the whole thing in a different light- I loved it! It also brought back very happy memories because the live Nativity was one of J and my first dates 4 years ago-- he bet me the camel would pee- it did- what fun!

We were so happy that Grammy and Papa Rich could join us- it was cold but so worth it!

Kisses from Grammy- one of BOTH of their favorite things!

We LOVE Tuachan-- it really is one my favorite things about St. George.

Uncle Dave!

The jury was out about Uncle Dave in Ellie's mind for a little while-- but they soon became fast friends-- and by the end were BESTIES!

and of course Emmy always has to get in on the action...

We've missed our Island loving Dave-- he graduates soon from BYU HI and we can't wait!

Christmas Cuties! 2011

Emmy at 3 and Elle Belle 10 months.

They quickly got a little crazy...

but stayed darling.

and then got crazier...

and crazier still.
