HOLIDAY HAPPENINGS

So... I did a TERRIBLE job photographing the Holidays. I was just super busy the whole time... so I stole from family members on FB...It's because it was a bit hectic. My Dad had a knee replacement on Dec. 11th, so I went down to Cedar City on the 14th and stayed for 4 days. A few days later he ended up coming to stay with us for almost 2 weeks. I was so happy to help him!! But it kept me hoppin during the holidays. Plus I worked every single day except for Christmas day and New Years day.

The whole Doxey/Gibson clan was in town (minus Doug and Amber- who we sorely missed!) So the kids were able to party it up for two whole weeks! Skiing, snowmobiling, ice skating, sledding, movies, hanging out, dinners, parties, Christmas gift exchange/nativity, NYE dance party... THE WORKS. It really was a ton of fun! :) I didn't really join in until the NYE dance party... I was bummed. But we had a very Merry Christmas and enjoyed being with family on both sides :)
