Our first Christmas in St George.......warm enough to wear t shirts outside!
We had a big Christmas Day Breakfast ......a new recipe for Pumpkin Pancakes was a hit. We hosted a big turkey dinner for Dave's family. The food and company were great, but I missed my parents, aunties and uncles from up north. I was able to talk to my parents and Cris texted me a pic of Christmas at the Vallejos house.
But, we will need to change our traditions as the kids grow up and have their own lives. It was almost an act of God to get us all together this year.
We will probably start doing one Christmas at home and doing Christmas up north the next year. I think that is the compromise that will make everyone happy.
One of our presents for the kids is one last family vacation with just the five of us....I am hoping to go to the Grand Canyon for a weekend, or maybe Bear Lake. Nothing is definite other than we are doing it this Spring/Early summer. I can't wait!
