pre & post christmas

coming into town for christmas is the best thing,

but it sure is busy!! having both of our families + 

friends here, we've had lots of parties, gatherings 

and festivities before & after christmas. we came 

home to a white christmas, then went to chase's 

family neighborhood party, had my high school

friends brunch, and my extended family party 

thrown by my grandma...and that was just the 

first day of being in town! whenever we are
here we stay up late, wake up early,
and soak up every second we can 
with our favorite people. here is some 
of the fun we've had while in SLC.

see all of our fun over the holidays here:
our snowy welcome home, christmas eve with my
family, christmas day with chase's family, and
our little ski vacay to deer valley.

4 words: my mom's sweet rolls.

welcome home!

afternoon tea at the grand for all the girls
before christmas. it was perfect!

home is always defined by

lots of hikes up neff's canyon..

plus sledding down!

we are pretty lucky that these two will

be grandparents to our kids someday.

we also made it on a hike above chase's

parents house...pretty view of the city!

can't forget the rope swing at the top of neff's!

thanks salt lake city for always feeling like home. 

we'll be sad when the break is over!

movies, dinners, and lots of good times.
