Annual Morrill Christmas Weekend...

We had a really fun time with Parker's family this weekend! Ever since Parker was little they have had the tradition of going to Salt Lake for a weekend close to Christmas and staying in a fun hotel. I've been to five now and every single one has been a blast!

On the way to Salt Lake, Jack was scared of the dark so Joshy held his hand...SO cute...

Friday night we all went to dinner then the girls went to see Twilight! I really liked it, although it was not even close to as good as the book but that was to be expected so I wasn't disappointed.

Saturday morning everyone went swimming and just kinda hung out around the hotel. In the afternoon the whole family went to a nursing home to visit the elderly and help them write their Christmas cards. Unfortunately, it was during the boys nap time so we had to stay back but it sounds like they had lots of fun and that Parker had quite a few old ladies wanting him. =) After that we went to a yummy dinner at the Outback and then off to bowling!!! I love bowling, even though I'm not usually very good, and the boys were SO cute! Joshy would dance after he knocked down his pins! Hahaha, it was precious. After that we went swimming and then to bed.

How cute are Parker's sisters...

"Mommy, Uncle Shaneee sad because he didn't knock ANY pins down!" Hahahaha...

This is how Joshy would wait for his ball to come out, so precious...

After bowling we went to the arcade for a while, Jack had fun driving...

They played this forever because they couldn't get the balls in so they kept rolling back!!!

Of course Josh wanted to play basketball...

Sunday morning everyone went to the Christmas Music and the Spoken Word at the Conference Center. Again, the boys and I stayed back because Josh was sick that night and I was worried about him. However, he ended up feeling fine and we went swimming and had fun. After everyone got back we got all packed up and Mom gave us our ornaments. Every year she gives everyone a special ornament that pertains to something that happened that year, I LOVE it! Jackie and I also got more pieces to our nativity, which I LOVE also!

Here's my Willow Tree Nativity, it looks so pretty on top of the piano!

Here's the ornament we got this year, for those who didn't know, Parker's grandma passed away a few months ago and so Michelle made us these to remember her...On a random note...today Josh's nose just randomly got a red dot on the end and we have NO idea what it is or what it's from!!! He looks like rudolph!!!

Anyways, it was an awesome weekend and thanks SOOO much mom and dad for all your hard work and generosity. I love my in laws and feel so blessed!

LASTLY.........................PARKER IS DONE WITH FINALS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I could not be happier to have my husband back and the boys could not be happier to have their daddy back! ONE MORE SEMESTER AND HE WILL BE DONE FOR GOOD! YAY!!!!!
