We spent Christmas week with the May family in Utah and we definitely had a white Christmas! It snowed almost the entire time we were there. It was quite spectacular. The May's haven't had a Christmas together since 2001, so it was quite a treat for everyone to be in the same place. Gracey loved all of the attention and got plenty of hugs and kisses to last until the next visit.
Christmas Eve we drove to Salt Lake to enjoy the lights at Temple Square.
Christmas Eve dinner. The May's have this fabulous tradition where everyone chooses a favorite to share with the family. This was our menu. (It makes for awesome left overs which is my personal favorite)
Steve-Meatballs
Jeri-relish tray
Rob- pulled pork sandwiches
Felicity-deviled eggs
Barrett-BBQ shrimp with peanut sauce
Jeanine- Bruschetta
Garrett-Seared Ahi
Whitney-Twice baked potatoes
Andrew-Pizza
Erinn-Spinach Salad
Cameron-BBQ Ribs
Christmas Eve
Opening Christmas Eve jammies with Aunt Erinn. This is a Freeman tradition.
We had a mini Baby Shower for Jeanine! We are excited for Jeanine and Barrett. After all, we know how much fun girls are!
Rob was dying to take Gracey sledding. This was a new experience for us
"beach goers"
Who says you can't sled when you are 6 months pregnant?
Even Mama and Papa May went down the hill!
Gracey's little tongue couldn't seem to stay in her mouth.
Gracey loved the snow. She would go around the room and say "touch" "snow" until she would find the sucker that would leave the comfort of the warm living room and venture into frozen territory with her. Many times she would return to the living room with a handful.
Christmas morning. Gracey with her cupcake cooking set.
Erinn and Whitney striking a pose.
Jeanine and Barrett....and baby Berlin.
Gracey....time for a nap????
As if you haven't seen enough pictures, we had family pics done in the snow.

We had a wonderful trip and many good laughs. I have to admit though, I was pretty happy to wake up to my 70 degree weather this morning and put on some flip flops.
