We decorated the Christmas tree with a little help from Alexis' friends, Maggie, Anna, and Darakshan. They had never decorated a tree before. We also made ginger cookies and had egg nog, another first for them.
All topped off with a star. Thanks Alexis.
Last day in Utah we headed up see Christmas Carol on the Imax in 3D with Madison, Sydney, Hannah, Keara and Joy. Jane and Larry met us in Salt Lake.
Dinner at the Cheesecake Factory. YUMMY!!!
Jane's babies all decked out with their winter coats and reindeer antler's that light up.
Temple Square with the gang. It was even fairly warm, YEAH!!! So beautiful.
Ben met us there with his girlfriend, Christina.
Having some fun at the temple.
We had such a great time in Utah. Wonderful memories. It was so good seeing everyone. Now, it's time for everyone to come to DC!!!! 
Had lunch with Dianne at Red Robin. She is so amazing. She does it all. Wakes up at 3 for a run at 4:30, supermom of six very active children, and cooks amazing dinners.
Christopher and Diane's new baby William. So adorable. Dinner at the Trolley and then Alexis was off to Mark and Lisa's for a sleepover and I went to help Joy make a few pies, and by a few I mean like nine pies, cheesecake, and cookies. We were up until 1 am baking.
We went to my nephew, Josh's birthday at Tucanos. Then Alexis went to Park City with Steve and Cindy Bartell's family. She had a great time swimming and watching the movie Up. Me, Joy, Sydney, Tammy, and my mother went to dinner at Guru's and then say Blind Side, which is an excellent movie.
Lunch with Brooke, Alexis, Madison, and McKenna. Brick oven pizza and apple beer is the best!!!
New Moon again, with four 13-year-olds. I saw the movie in a whole new perspective. Definitely a fun crowd to see it with again. Ben meet us for dinner and the best ice cream ever at the Creamery.
