Onto Brigham City

After unwrapping presents, we hopped in the shower and then hopped on the road to spend Christmas Day with Matt's family in Brigham City. We made it just in time to attend church with Matt's parents. Jakey was a hit with the neighbors.
The highlight of our Brigham visit was the creation of this music video*. Laci was the mastermind, I was her assistant, and we all had a blast being as cheesy as possible.

*Only three disclaimers required. 1: Somehow the sound got slightly off when uploading? Just pretend the lips are on. 2: Matt woke Jake up so he would cry without my knowledge. 3: Matt's brother's family in Minnesota filmed the curtained verse in the middle, so that will be added in the future.

We had a lovely, laid-back Christmas Day with Matt's parents and were joined by all of his siblings and their kids that night. We made sure to get plenty of Jake and Maggie pictures, since the two littlest cousins are just one day apart!
Jake made the rounds with all of his aunts and uncles. Here, he's hanging out with Nate, Laci and Kristen. As you can see, Jake and Nate are rocking the same hair style.
Matt made sure to get plenty of quality Daddy time, too.
We were spoiled with not just one but two days of presents.
We spent our nights playing games until the wee hours of the morning. Is that a dragon or a llama? You be the judge.
And what's a trip to Brigham City without a Davis brother guitar session? Jake was mesmerized by Matt's singing.
On our last day in Brigham, Matt's parents treated everyone to lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building. 
Oh, and remember how I don't usually take many pictures in Brigham? Well, taking pictures of Jakey and handing my camera off to my nieces changed that real fast. Hence the slideshow below. Enjoy! We sure did.

  2. OK, I am a new-ish follower coming out of the woodworks. I had to comment because that music video was totally. awesome. My two little kiddos were singing and dancing to it.

    Also funny, while reading your blog I discovered that our husbands played football together at the Air Force Prep Academy (2002-2003, right?). My husband left after that year and transferred to the University of Wyoming.

    Another funny coincidence? We have been in Spencer and Jacey's ward for the past couple of years. We recently built a house, and moved wards, but stil live in the same town and see them at a lot of other functions!

    Anyway, sorry about the longest comment ever, but I thought it was too funny not to share. Your blog is so much fun to read. You have a beautiful family!
