Christmas Pictures

We had a fantastic Christmas. We spent time with both Brandon's family in California and mine here in Salt Lake. Both families were a lot of fun. I didn't take any still pictures in California- only tons of videos. I'll post the videos next time. Here is a little peek into our Salt Lake Christmas:

This is what we did in my mom and dad's back yard:

Emma, Lily, Elly, David and Dan at the bottom.

Elly absolutely loved the hot tub! She didn't want to get out. She didn't want anyone to hold her, either. She thought she could just swim around on her own.
