In Utah, but not of it

We've been here in Utah now since we got back from Hawaii and we've had a blast!  We've been hanging out with our family pretty much all the time and have had a lot of fun experiences.  Keilah has absolutely loved having family around to dote on her and give her gobs of attention.  She's loved playing with her cousins as well and lives for each day when she can wake up and see one of her grandmas or grandpas smiling at her and saying, "Good Morning Keilah!"  Some of our most favorite things we've done in the past week are visiting the Festival of Trees with "Mormor" (my mom), Aunt Amanda, and cousins Madeleine and Elisabeth, and we've loved making gingerbread houses with the entire Phillips family.  Anyway, here are some photos of what we've been up to, although there are still many photos to upload and post.  Vacationing is hard work... so much to do! :)  Oh, I'd like to catch up with y'all out here in Utah if you want to.  I don't have anyone's phone numbers b/c my phone died the night before we left Texas so call me or shoot me an e-mail and we can do lunch, dinner, date night, whatever!

How awesome that you get to be there for so long! It's the best being with family during the holidays, especially when you life so far away the rest of the year. Hope you guys have fun! We'll be checking back to find out what you're having on Tuesday! How exciting! Our guess....GIRL. :)
