First, We went to St. George for Thanksgiving and burned off a few extra calories by hiking Angel's Landing in Zion's National Park.
The trail winds up this ridge and is scary...
Christmas brought...
lights...
a tree...
...and Levi!
Fresh from basic training in his handsome uniform. He let us take some patriotic pictures and he tried his best to look like a serious soldier, but we know better.
The kids got up early to open presents, and by kids I mean everyone but lil'E and lil'D. They slept in.
Apparently, the excitement of Christmas morning was almost too much for us to handle.
