Christmas in Logan

We really had such a wonderful Christmas! We started our holidays with a trip to Logan to spend a few days with Dave's family. We had so much fun while we were there! Our days and nights were filled with...

Reading Christmas stories with Grandma...


Playing with fun cousins...
Ice skating...




The Nativity play...



Opening cousin presents...



New friends...Justin had a blast playing with his
2nd cousin Jax that he doesn't get to see very often.
They were best buds right away.

Dancing around the tree at
the Gutke family Christmas party...
This is one of my favorite traditions. Every year the new
babies of the family get to dance around the Christmas
tree while everyone sings.

Eden got to share her dance around the tree with her
cute cousin Ridley who is just two months older!

Opening presents from Grandma and Grandpa...
(thank you so, so much...the kids love their toys!)

Eden all cozy in the blanket Grandma made her!


Here's the video of Eden dancing around the tree...


We had such a wonderful time with our family in Utah! Thank you all for everything!

That looks more like Daddy dancing around the tree. :) I can't believe you were only 2 hrs away and we didn't even get to see you. :( Glad you had fun!

We had lots of fun with you guys. Did you know every child in the family has been "danced" around the tree going back for a loooong time? Pretty cool!

Yikes...at first I thought Justin had been in some horrible accident that you failed to mention when I saw him with a walker. Then I realized what that was...what a great idea! Everytime I have tried to take the kids ice skating it has been a nightmare, and if they had offered us a walker like that it would have made all the difference! So, my point is I'm glad Justin isn't crippled. :) Anyway, looks like you had a great time in Logan. Cousins are the best!
