Dashing through the snow...

We had a great two weeks in Utah visiting friends and family for Christmas break!  I've been on a blogging fast, so I apologize for the flurry of posts to make up for the last three weeks!  

First and foremost, Jason and I celebrated four fabulous years of marriage on December 18th!  I think it was one of our most romantic anniversaries ever...we got to spend ALL day together.  In. The. Car.  Driving to Utah.  With a six-month old.  Now, for many, this sounds absolutely horrific, but to be honest, it was really great.  We actually got to sit and talk and enjoy beautiful scenery together.  Plus, our baby girl was a rockstar traveler!  We only had to stop twice for necessary eating/potty breaks - but that's it!  She was seriously the best.  We think we'll keep her for a little longer.  :-)  We spent the night with my mom's cousin in St. George.  These guys are so awesome.  We loved catching up with them.   We arrived in Orem the following day just in time for a crazy-huge snow storm.  We were lucky to not hit any bad weather on our way up to Utah.

We were so lucky to see our best friends, Rachel and Todd and their cute little girl, Audrey (and coming soon baby boy Nelson, too!)  They currently live in Ann Arbor while Todd does his residency there.  They live WAY too far away and we miss them terribly!  In Washington, DC we lived only three floors above them in the same apartment building and it was the best set up ever.  Seriously?  We had it so great!  We love and miss you guys!  It was so great to see you!  

We went up to North Ogden to see them and ate at Kirk's Drive-In - which is owned by the parents of some of our other really great friends that we made in Washington, DC - the Stowe's.  Perfect timing...because they had also just gotten into town and we got to see them too! 

Angie and Spence live in Southern California and the last time we got to see them was two Octobers ago!  Their newest addition, Ingrid, was born only two weeks after Lois, so it was so much fun to meet her!  As you can tell, Lois was very intrigued by darling Ingrid!  We loved seeing their cute family.  Their three other kids are so grown up.  

Cute Audrey

And here's Lois's first feast at Litza's Pizza!  Can you believe she's big enough to sit up in a high chair?  She was loving the plate and also found the garlic bread to be delicious!
