Phipps family togetherness

We spent the rest of our Christmas vacation up in Ogden Valley at David's parents' house. Collin and his wife Tiffany and their kids joined us AND as a surprise for Vicki, so did David's oldest brother, Chris, and his family. The rest of us knew about the surprise but Vicki had no idea they were coming in from Colorado because Chris told her that he wasn't getting enough time off of work. So we just barely sat down for Christmas dinner when the doorbell rang. Vicki answered and in the midst of falling snow was a little baby carseat with the newest addition to the Phipps' family, Henry, holding a note. The rest of the family snuck in the back, singing Christmas songs. So fun.

We spent most of our time playing Ticket to Ride, Puerto Rico, and Settlers, and eating, eating, playing more games, and eating more food.

My man's got a sweet pair of lips for a white boy.

Kate (Chris' oldest) the Great who was late, but worth the wait, turned seven on the 26th.

And a Phipps family gathering would not be the same without...

That's right, a bit 'a Harry Pottuh

We took Hazel to the theater for the first time, for her (she's been before as a baby of course). We saw Princess and the Frog, which was cute except for the parts with the VooDoo dolls. What was Disney thinking?

Charlotte LOVED it for about 8 minutes, and then was outside with me until she finally gave up and fell asleep.

Story time with Gram. Hazel slept in one big bed with her two cousins, Sam and James. She loved it.

Haze's giving Carson the stink eye in this one.

More Sunday pictures. I know, I know.

Thank you Phipps family for a wonderful and relaxing week!
