We had wonderful time up in Salt Lake City. We got a bonus day compared to our usual jaunts up north! I played with my friends, Ruby and Jon, at their house on Wednesday night and then spent time at the zoo with them on Thanksgiving to watch the animals get fed special food. Actually, we are just remembering that Daddy has all those pictures on HIS phone and they have not been downloaded. We will have to edit this post later!
The Thanksgiving meal was eaten at Oma and Apa's with most of the Romney Family. It was delicious and I only ate mashed potatoes and bread just like I said I would. (In fact, the night before I couldn't sleep because I was so worried that Daddy was going to make me eat Turkey. He let me off the hook!)
Aunt Rachel apparently cooked her very first turkey and from what everyone says, it was delicious.

| I almost forgot Mommy's favorite moment! She ate pumpkin pie for breakfast! After all, it was HER pie! |
The Friday after Thanksgiving was the kick off for the Romney Christmas season. We decided since Uncle Adam and Aunt Whitley were here from Seattle that we would do our Christmas gift exchange already!
We started the day with fun at the zoo for most of us! (Aunt Rachel has most of the pictures from this day on her good camera and we will make silent plea hear for an email with copies!)

You know, my Oma's changing a little. I hear my parents say that the Alzheimer's has done this or done that, but after this weekend, I think it has made her more fun. She plays with us kiddos pretty darn well and always seems to know what the best games will be. I sure do love her!
After the zoo, we went to see the new move "Rise of the Guardians" with just about all of us again. This time Lainey and Rosey and Smith were able to join us! I was so excited to sit by Laine and it was so darn cute to hear Rosey demand to sit by Oma! The movie was followed by the commencement of the Christmas Pizza Feast, family pictures, and gift giving. Again another shout out to Aunt Rachel for copies of said pictures! Mommy's pictures taken with her camera phone are TERRIBLE. No need to even post them. We loved all of our presents and enjoyed just hanging out together. What a wonderful day!
Saturday we continued in the delightful vein of spending time with family. We went with the Preslar Family down to City Creek and visited with Santa. He had his own lantern and was so nice. Unfortunately, Emma was a little frightened so the Mommys had to be in the photo but I think it still turned out nice!
A fabulous trip indeed!
