December Part 2

During the middle of December, Savannah and I flew to Utah to visit family and friends. While Savannah had already flown multiple times this was the first time I was flying with her by myself. I was a little nervous but she was so good the entire time. Even the people on the plane couldn't believe how good she was!

We stayed with my sister, Kimber, and her family. The kids were so good with Savannah. They played with her and fed her. Here they are watching tv together.

On Saturday we attended the annual Ivins family Christmas party. It was so nice to see my aunts, uncles, and cousins. I miss being with my family and it was such a blessing to be able to be with them for a few hours and to have them meet Savannah.

Here are the angels during the nativity.

Savannah was baby Jesus because she was the youngest baby there. She did pretty well, especially while everyone sang Away in a Manger which is the song I sing to put her to bed every night. However, once that song was over she wasn't too happy and I had to hold her.  

Gracie was one of the wise men. I love the beard!

I love this picture of Jackson and Savannah with their hands in their mouths!

Her first time meeting Santa was less then memorable since she slept the whole time. As we often say, "Savannah was unimpressed!"

Sorry this picture is sideways. It turned out so cute of JD's family on the stairs of their new home. I was so glad I got a tour of the house they were building while I was there!

Savannah also got to experience her first snow while we were in Utah. I put her in one of McKenna's old snow suits and took her outside.

I also got to see my friend's new baby girl,Camilla. She was so tiny and cute!

My last night in Utah we went up to Temple Square with my brothers and their families. The below picture was taken by my super artistic niece, Sophie. Didn't she do a great job!

Watching the nativity. At the end of the nativity's narration there is a quote by President Thomas S. Monsen. I asked my nephew, Bridger, if he knew who was speaking and he said it was the prophet. I thought it was so neat that he could tell the prophet was speaking just by hearing his voice!

In front of the candy windows at Macy's. The huge decoration you see behind the kids is made entirely of candy!

Getting ready to go home! She looked pretty warm and cozy in Aunt Joanna's scarf.

Thank you everyone who took the time to visit with us. A BIG thank you to Kimber for allowing us to stay at her house and for feeding us. We had such a wonderful time and can't thank you enough!
