Celebrating the Holidays in one weekend...

So since JD is still pretty new at his job he doesnt get any priority with time off this holiday season. So we are stuck here- working- the whole time. Although I think that this was actually a blessing in disguise because now we get to celebrate both Thanksgiving and Christmas 2 times this year!
We Just flew home from our first celebration in Utah with the Prices. We had a blast with everyone!! We are so lucky to have such fun families on both sides! So Friday was kind of a catch up day as some of us were still flying in and arriving. The girls got away to see Twilight (and for those of you who havent seen it, youre not missing anything)while the boys watched the kids.
Saturday was our Thanksgiving dinner complete with Turkey, stuffing and all the works. I realize what a long way I have to go when I see his mother and sisters with their culinary magic and their baby skills!
And on Sunday we were priveledged in helping welcoming Luke Browning Barrett into the family with his baby blessing. Sunday was christmas and Santa came early to the Price's this year! There are 4 nephews all under the age of 3 and one on the way. needless to say- I have SO MUCH respect for those with mulitple BOYS in the house. Between the sword fights, throwing food, and learning the concept of sharing it was a very eventful weekend. Here is what happens when a two year old gets a hold of your camera.




Uncle JD and Luke managed to squeeze in a little bonding time

Even though I look bald, sky looks half his actual size, and jill looks twice her actual size, its the only one that the boys actually got in focus...

Start the OOOhs and AWWWs... We quite possibly have the cutest nephews alive.

and even though BYU totally disappointed...

we had the perfect early holiday weekend



And if it means getting more weekends like that- I could even get used to the cold


We look forward to the next time we can all be together again! Thanks for such a fun weekend, we love you guys!!
