Post Christmas fun in Utah.

We were able to stay in Utah until January 2nd so the days following Christmas were of course a blast!

Here are a few pictures of the fun...

My cute girls being so good while we pulled them around from store to store making returns.

One of our dates was eating at a gourmet grilled cheese sandwich place.

Oh my gosh, they were amazing!

And we of course had to finish it off by stopping at Farr's fresh for some peach gelato!

Here we are redeeming the boy's gift certificates at Rodizio Grill.

(Michael is not pictured here because he ran out when he heard the words, "let's ask someone to take a picture." So it looks like I am on a date with Winston. But really Winston was the 5th wheel since cute Jill was back home in Arizona:)

Good times, good food...mostly the pineapple. Haha Soph:)

Driving around blasting some tunes!

One night while the boys were at the church playing basketball, my mom, Sophia, and I all curled up downstairs by the fire and enjoyed some citrus chamomile tea and chocolate chip cookies.

What's better than that?!

I have been wanting to take Olivia to see a movie at a movie theatre for a long time now.

(She isn't the best at sitting through movies at home so I have been nervous to try.)

But I heard Frozen was such a good movie and I really wanted to see how she would do.

So my best friend Leslie and I took our littles Hallie and Olivia.

We got popcorn and sat them both on the same chair in between us.

Olivia totally loved it and even laughed at the funny parts.

(I totally loved it too!)

Needless to say we will for sure be taking her to movies more frequently.

And I just have to say, I can't believe Leslie and I are old enough to be taking our own little girls to movies together. It seems like just yesterday we were going to movies as little girls (sometimes 3 in a row) all by ourselves:)

One of my favorite things was going on a date with Grandpa Brown.

He took Michael and I to the Harvest Restaurant at Thanksgiving Point.

I can not even begin to explain how much I love this man.

His stories and laughs have to be the best thing ever.

He has taught me so much about really everything. I look up to him in every way and am so blessed to have him as my grandpa.

Another date of ours was eating dinner at the Thanksgiving Point deli with Ryan and Sophia. 

I'm in love with their fries and fry sauce.

And while we're on the topic of food Michael and I were also able to go on a breakfast date to Kneaders for some cinnamon french toast. This is simply a must do every time we visit Utah.

On New Year's eve we went bowling with Ryan and Sophia. The first game was couple versus couple.

Sadly Ryan and Sophia won, but I beat Michael. So I'll count that as a win!

The second game was boys versus girls. I'm pretty sure I don't even have to say who won that one!

After bowling we had Raclette again and sparkling cider. 

We played charades which was hilarious.

You can ask any member of my family but I am seriously so bad at that game. Especially when it is my turn to act out something.

I have no idea why but being under time pressure and trying to think of how to act out the words is just too much haha.

We had to snap a picture of Olivia eating her peanuts on the airplane.

After all that's seriously all she talks about.

Thank you family for a perfect Christmas break, we can't wait to come back!
