Dan's work was incredibly generous and gave everyone the week between Christmas and New Years OFF, so we filled the time with parties and traveling.
The Tuesday after Christmas, we hosted an open house for the Elder's Quorum (from which Dan was just released and has since been called to teach some of the 8, 9, and 10 year old boys in Primary). We only had about 5 families come, but we still had a good time.
The following morning, we packed up and headed down south to St. George for a few days. We love that Dan's CNG car can get us down there for less than $14. This was our first road trip in a long time and also our first with a potty trained toddler.
We visited Dan's mission president and wife, Pres. and Sis. Clove. It was wonderful to catch up with them and hear about their experiences serving in the St. George Temple Presidency. Sadly we didn't catch a picture of President being a Grandpa and feeding the kids bites of Christmas fudge. :)
We visited the St. George Temple grounds. Doesn't she look excited?

We loved that they still had their Nativity set up and the weather was high 50s. So nice!
We also had a blast hanging out with the Leavitt family! John was one of Dan's good friends from high school. He has three beautiful children ages 5 (girl), 3 (boy), 1 (boy), and one more boy on the way. McKenna was in HEAVEN following their 5 year old around and playing dress-up with her.
Our one year olds are 3 weeks apart.
John was incredibly nice enough to let us stay at his parents' home which has a sweet movie theater room. The kids watched "Ariel" and "Aurora" over the two days we spent with them.
I'm sad I didn't get any pictures of me and John's sweet wife, Jessica. So fun to catch up with her and see her super mom skills. Thanks, Leavitts, for being such wonderful hosts!

Such handsome guys!
That looks like such a fun time! I loved looking at the pictures. Brielle looked at them with me and kept asking about McKenna. After I told her about McKenna she said she wishes she could play with her and she's sad she lives far away :)
Love Kenna in yellow. Such a pretty color on her. And love the $14. Must be nice, man!
Love the pictures!! your kids are so cute:)And you look great
Super mom skills? Hardly! As I spilled a giant drink on Dan and Ben... so awesome :) We had a great time. Thanks for visiting! Come back soon and hopefully next time John won't have Laryngitis and you can stay at OUR place. We don't have a theater room but a lot more dress-ups :)
