Christmas is great! I love it so much! For Christmas Eve Jared and I went over to his parent's house with his family and had a nice dinner and opened presents.
On Christmas day we had our own festivities and opened our presents and stockings. Later that evening my cousins Levin Gunter and his family, and Mary Abbott and her boyfriend (now fiance) came over and visited and helped clean out our fridge before we took off for South Carolina.
We flew out of Salt Lake and it was really really cold and the roads were pretty bad. Thankfully Jared's dad enjoys driving in the snow almost as much as Jared does. We barely made our connection in Chicago but thankfully arrived in SC mostly on time. But without our luggage. It didn't make the connection in Chicago.
Oh well, we picked it up the next morning and got a nice travel voucher and we very much enjoyed our week of warm weather and fun with family. I was going to upload lots of pictures from Christmas vacation when I realized that my sister, Crystal, had already done all the work. So instead of taking time to upload 95% of the same pictures- here is a link to her blog that covers really well what went on while we were visiting SC.

We came back to Utah on Friday, January 4th to lots and lots of this white stuff and subzero temperatures. :P I was not prepared.
Good to see the snow and remember what I'm NOT missing. Although, the mountains look beautiful. Your apartment looks cute with all the Christmas decorations!
