Christmas

We traveled to Utah on Dec. 22nd to visit all of Mark's family. Rylie rode very well on the long car trip. The weather was very cooperative for most of the trip. Mark got to watch BYU play in the Las Vegas Bowl once we arrived at his parents. Rylie was very excited to see "Schoenie", Grandpa Schoenie, her cousin dog Chloe, actual cousin Emmee, Aunt Syd, and Uncle John that first night. She also so baby cousin Otto, Aunt Martha, and Uncle Scott. She saw the rest of the family on Sunday. On Christmas Eve, we went over to Aunt Val's and Uncle Russ' for the annual Christmas Eve extravaganza. It was fun. We all received new pajamas for the special night. See the photos for more hilarity. Rylie spread her magic reindeer dust out on the lawn so Santa knew where to find her. Christmas Eve, Santa's elves worked late into the night. We left cookies and carrots for Santa and his reindeer and they definitely partook of the goodies. Rylie had to be woken up at around 7 am to come and see if Santa had visited.
