Christmas in Utah

It was a long flight from Beijing but we made it to Utah. I made it the day before Annabelle was born, Darron was a day late....oops! She was born over 2 1/2weeks early! Ben and I were getting Sonic when her water broke, we hurried home. She is a beautiful little girl.
Andy got here on the 20th. He was engaged to be married on Christmas Eve, to Elise. They will be married and Sealed to each other in the Bountiful Temple on March 15th. We have to start looking for tickets to get back here from Beijing sooner than planed.
We all had a great Christmas! We visited Temple Square to look at the pretty lights and we went to The Melting Pot after for Dessert. We had crab for Christmas Eve (Andy was at Elise's getting engaged) and opened presents on Christmas Day. Most of us have watched some good football games and a few good movies. We've played board games, had a Wii tennis tournament and did a few fireworks. Pizza has been eaten (a few times :) and various other healthy foods :/.
Darron and I have enjoyed being here. We drove down to Idaho right after we got here to see our parents and siblings. We love all of our family!
Ben and Andy left today for Idaho. Ben starts school on the third and his first track meet is on the 15th, I believe. Andy flies back here on Monday and leaves on Wednesday to go back to Houston.
Darron leaves to go back to Beijing on the 6th. I head back February 1st. I'm flying to Idaho on the 13th for a week to see family some more and go to Ben's first track meet. It has been a wonderful holiday. We are a very blessed family.
