Christmas break in a nutshell

I am finally posting pictures from Christmas since we've been on the go the past little while. Chad and I were able to spend the past two weeks in Utah. To say I LOVED it would be an understatement. We were able to see lots of family and friends, relax, see the lights on Temple Square, and play lots of games. The vacation started out a little rocky when we almost missed our connecting flight in Denver after our flight was delayed and then they lost our luggage. We went to church in borrowed clothes and were misfits for a couple of days until our luggage finally made it to Salt Lake. Thanks Holly and Dad for saving us! We went to the Price family party which of course was a blast. I am so grateful to be a part of the Price family. They have such a great family and are such wonderful examples to both of us. It's always a party when the Price's get together. In one night we went to the Burgin and Mitchell and managed to get to the first and last part of them.-It was a party packed night! We also went to the Petterborg Christmas party. We had our traditional breakfast casserole and hung out with the cousins. So fun! I just love getting together with them! Christmas day all the family came over and the kids were wound up as they could be with the excitement of Christmas morning. I love being an aunt and playing with my cute nieces and nephews. They are all so adorable! We also went down to Alex and Megan's house and were able to spend time with them a couple times. We sure wish we lived closer to them so we could hang out with them more often. Little Ethan is getting so big and changing so much. What a cute little boy he is! The boys got to go to Body Worlds for the day while the girls went shopping. 6 hours of shopping and I only bought one thing. Talk about will power! I'm so grateful that we were able to go to Utah to spend time with family this year! Overall we had a wonderful first Christmas! Chad and I also had our own special Christmas celebrate before we left to Utah and I will have to post some pictures of that later. Thanks Mom and Dad for letting us stay at your house and entertaining us. We loved being able to spend so much time with all of you in Utah! Hopefully we will be out there again sometime soon! I hope you all had a great Christmas!
