i'd have to say the "best" part of our trip was the gift that kept on giving...the flu! it was like dominos, each day a new person would be sick and i totally thought i was in the clear...until the day after we got home and both penny and i decided to hop on the puking train. BOO! but we're all better now and baby girl didn't mind me being sick at all, she just kicked me the whole time to let me know that SHE felt fine even if i didn't.

penny had fun playing with her cousins, especially maddie. penny would wake up in the morning and be like "where's maddie? play toys with maddie?" so cute.

hope you all had a great christmas!

Where were Paul's parents in the mix? Did they stay in Utah or were they on a cruise? lol Glad she loved her presents, always more fun as a parent when your kids are happy with their gifts. What did Santa bring you???
