A St. George Kind of Christmas

After enjoying some snow in Utah for a few days, we headed down to St. George Christmas afternoon to spend time with the Rogers. Everyone had gotten together and we had a great time with them. We really enjoyed meeting Jeremy-the next one to join the Rogers clan. We are super excited for he and Heather to get married in May! It was a lot of fun to spend time with the Olsens and see how much Natalya and Maddox are growing.

While in St. George we all went to Zion's National Park to enjoy some time in the beautiful mountain scenery. Anna and McKay were in Hurricane with the Butler clan and were able to come join us, so that was a lot of fun. Needless to say, the highest elevation points in Houston being the freeway overpasses just simply don't do justice to the beauty of Utah. It was great to spend so much time outside, and it was even better to be spending it with family!

Brandon especially enjoyed spending some time at the playground with Dad Rogers, Maddox, and Natalya. Maddox had turned the playground into a pretty incredible bus and we all got to go on fun rides around town! Natalya loved going down the slide. She would slide down, I would push her halfway back up until Brandon could hold on to her and help her crawl the rest of the way up, and then she would go down again. She loved it. I couldn't tell who was laughing more-Natalya or Brandon. We also really loved how the static from the slide styled her hair :)

We have found that there are quite a few frisbee golf courses in the Houston region, and so it has become a fun past-time with Mom and Dad Rogers. There was a great frisbee golf course near where we were staying and so we had a lot of fun going to play with them, Heather, and Jeremy. More great time with family!
