Well, these are the last of my Utah pictures. I certainly soaked in lots of family time, and it was great!
My sisters, Mom, and I were able to hang out lots. Here we are at Gardner Village (it's a whole bunch of darling quaint shops nestled around like a little 'village'). Melanie and Brittany were there too. This place is SO FUN. I wish I could go more often.
Benjamin got the stomach flu over the weekend. He was so sick, the little sweetie. Mom stayed home from church with him and gave him lots of snuggles over the weekend while he recuperated. There's nothing better than a Grandma to dote over you when you're feeling sick.
Of everything we did, this was my favorite: Hanging out at night together in the front room. Just talking, lounging, and being together. It seriously is my FAVORITE ever. I'm so glad that my siblings live around my parents so they could hang out at night. Matt & Amy and Brittany & Eric would put their kids to bed in pack-n-plays and then they could stay until late. And Mindy & Griff would stay too. (Melanie & Brad and their kids usually had to leave around bedtime since five boys + a sleepover is a bit more complicated... :) ) But anyway, I just loved talking and lounging around together. It was awesome.

Looks fun! I am so glad that you got to hang out with your family. I love the picture of you and your sisters, you are all so beautiful!
Hanging out was the best, wasn't it?! We always pack so much into the day that it's nice to just put the kids to bed and have good old adult time! I miss just being able to talk and talk with you so it was so fun! Esp to have you stay at our house - remember when we stayed up WAY too late talking that first night you were here?!! :) i loved that!
I can't believe how much your family has grown! It's crazy! Your kids are adorable! How fun for them to play with cousins?! Glad you had a fun trip!
I loved the pic with Ben and me when he was sick. What a little sweetheart. We missed you at Christmas this year, honey. 'Hope you had fun with the in-laws.
Can I get a copy of the pic at Gardner Village? I loved hanging out with you, too, sis. I wish you lived closer so you could do it more often.
That was a great visit! We loved having you here for a few weeks! Hope you had an awesome Christmas. Love ya.
