For New Years Eve we drove down to Utah to spend a few days with my family! We miss them so much, so it has been wonderful to spend some time with them! We had "Christmas" with them and exchanged presents when we got there. James has caught on really well to the whole opening presents thing. He peeled off little strips of the paper, and got SO excited when he opened his nice presents from my family! It was adorable. We had a fun night playing games, and my sisters even got awesome New Years Eve hats and tiaras, and sparkling cider, of course! What a fun night. What a year it has been - it has been amazing at times and hard at times, but overall we have been so blessed. Jonathan and I are optimistic and are so excited to see what this next year will bring to our little family!
We had wonderful weather for driving through Idaho, which we were very grateful for!

Toys are fun for Grandpa's, too!
He just LOVED this teddy bear from Aunt Annie
My Dad gives the coolest presents to Jonathan - this year it was a model of the Nauvoo temple, which Jonathan immediately got to work on and finished putting it together within an hour or so!
