Christmas 2009

We had a great Christmas this year! We were able to go to Salt Lake and see the lights on Temple Square a couple days before Christmas. While we were there we got to go to dinner with my sister Karen and her husband Nic. And we got to see my other sister Mandy who lives in West Jordan, and her whole family! We also got to go to the Salt Lake temple while we were there.....SO BEAUTIFUL! We stayed in a condo with Reed's brother Jed and his family. Macie absolutely loved being around her cousins for a couple days! It was a a short little trip, but fun to get away.
We spent Christmas Eve at my parents house with most of my immediate family. It's always so fun to see everyone and have LOTS of good food.
On Christmas Macie gave us a nice present and slept in until 9:00! That's really late for her! When she woke up we opened presents and just hung around home until dinner time. We had dinner at Reed's parents house, and spent the rest of the evening there.
Santa was REALLY nice this year and brought me a Canon Rebel! I am SO excited to learn how to use it. When Macie naps I've been reading the manual and trying to figure it all out. So you'll have to excuse my Christmas morning photos....I had no idea how to use my camera yet, but Reed wanted me to use my new one:) I've gotten a whole lot better since, but I need lots more practice. I might be able to take a little class soon, so that should help. I hope everyone had a good holiday! Here are some pictures from Christmas at our house and Salt Lake.......

Santa left Macie a play kitchen that she LOVES!
