On December 22nd we drove back down to Utah.
On the 23rd we decided that Lilly's hair was getting too long and it was time for a trim. She has only had her hair trimmed one other time. That's when she was 3, and I was the one who cut it. At the time I just got sick of her screaming about me brushing it and I took my kitchen scissors and cut off a few inches. This time, however, we decided that it would probably be best to have a professional do it. Lilly was SO excited. She has been begging me for a while now to go to a salon and get her haircut. We cut off 3 inches, the last of her old curls. I was sad, but it has made brushing out her hair every morning so much less of a struggle.
That afternoon we dropped Lilly off at Megan's house and met up with Gus's family at the temple to support Emo who went through for the first time. It was so special.
That night we all had a family dinner with Clint (KA's fiance) and his family. Susan had decorated the entire room in their wedding colors, baby blue, white, and silver. The food was amazing, as always. It was fun to get to know Clint's family.
On Christmas Eve, me, Lilly, Emo, and MJ made sugar cookies. When the cousins got there they had a great time decorating them for Santa.
That night we read the Christmas story...
On Christmas morning, Lilly woke up at 9:00 and then went and woke everyone else up. She was SO excited!
She loved giving Grandma and Grandpa the gifts she picked out. She got grandma some sparkly body wash and grandpa some work gloves.

On the 28th Megan and I took the kids to pizza pie cafe. Lilly loves her cousins so much.

At 3:00 on the 29th we left to go home. Our flight was scheduled to leave at 5:00, but when we arrived they told us our plane had issues, and they didn't have a plane for us. They finally found one around 8:00, but we didn't end up leaving until about 9:00. We arrived home at 3:00 in the morning. It was brutal.
Our trip was wonderful but we were so glad to be home.

Nice review! I was a very lazy blogger about the holidays, I was too busy thinking, "I'm in America! America!" Oh, and buying toys online. Because they were cheap. And I was in America!
I really think Lilly the most beautiful little girl. You are such a great mom, I totally miss dropping by your house all the time (unannounced). You probably miss that too.
I'm going to call you soon!!! I promise!!!
