So my mom mentioned I didn't post any pictures of the holidays... so for her sake, and photo journaling's sake, here we go.
Two days before Christmas we went to see the lights at temple square. It was cold, but could have been a lot worse and we made sure to bundle up!
Here is our Christmas eve and morning. This year was spent with just the three of us and it was so nice and relaxing. We got to spend plenty of family time together eating good food and creating new traditions. We sure missed our other family members though! Also, I unfortunately only took pictures of our Christmas morning breakfast. I do have a couple videos of Brooklyn opening gifts but somehow I completely dropped the ball the rest of the day.
The day after Christmas we went to the west side of Utah lake and got to run around on the frozen ice. Brooklyn did not want to be held and I was going crazy thinking she might slip and fall but she did great, if not for being completely frozen by the time we got back home.
Our New Years was pretty quiet but fun nonetheless. Brooklyn went to bed at her normal time and Matthew and I stayed up playing board games. However, I was the only one to make it til midnight. I woke Matthew up, he rolled over to give me a kiss, and was out a half second later. :) New Year's day we spent going to this awesome park in Pleasant Grove. It was huge and Brooklyn loved all the slides and swings. It was such beautiful weather (low 50's!) and we were so happy to be outside!
We are excited for the new year and all that it holds in store for us!
