- We weren't planning on going home for Christmas this year. Had a baby. Made it happen. Three weeks of awesomeness in Utah.
- Visited the Hanks' first. Niccole finally meets Henley.
- Hanks' white elephant party. Always some good inappropriate gifts brought.
- Rich's Christmas Eve flight was cancelled due to a "sick" crew member. Lots of tears from an emotional wife.
- Mustache growing contest...you can't see Rich's mustache in any pictures. Next year they will have to do a neck beard contest so he can actually participate.
- Christmas Eve: lots of food, games, ping pong competition and more food
- Christmas Day: split between Hanks'/Bell's - tons of gifts and the whole side of the Bell's met the babe. It was a little stressful for me, however Henley handled it like a champ. Favorite gift was some clip in bangs believe it or not - I still can't figure out how to make them look cute in my hair.
- Swimming and sledding multiple times
- Henley's blessing (I'll post more about that later)
- New Year's chaos at the Bell's. I had a really hard time staying awake until midnight. Apparently I'm 80 years old.
- Ombre'd/melt my hair. Still unsure if I like it and I don't have a good picture of it because I'm stubborn.
- Colds and the flu. Not a Utah trip without it.
- Loved every minute of it. Bitter sweet leaving Utah behind and heading back to Iowa.
