St George Christmas- Conner Style

Let's face it Lucy was the biggest highlight for most this Christmas..you can't help it when she is just so cute and people don't get to see her too often. Watching her with Krew and Carly were so hilarious! For more video's and blogs of Lucy's Christmas check out http://www.lotts-of-love.blogspot.com/.

For Christmas this year dad fly all the kids to St George to spend Christmas together and BONUS with Unlce Mike and Aunt Teresa!!! It really added to everything to get to hear about Mikes death experience and miraculous recovery and to have them tell us about their trip to the holy lands. We loved getting to stay at their geougous home and to get the yummy food Teresa shared with us!!

What a great time we had! Tons of snacks, great food, movies, games, presents, and relaxation!

Each of the kids were in charge of a meal or activity during the visit. As a gift to dad we wanted to plan and pay for an event while we were together. So the Lotts did Christmas Eve with Taco's and root beer then the Christmas story, popcorn and Scrooge. The Hayes family did a great chicken pasta meal and brought catch phrase which is always a hit! The Hernandez family took care of Christmas morning and what an awesome job! Kimmie made monkey bread and did a fun trivia game to open our stocking stuffers! Kaily and Scottee did the best game though with Chocolate milk pong..everyone loved it and they played the whole trip.

We did a white elephant exchange with the Southwicks and that was so funny watching people steal gifts from Kailey. Before that the Conner Clan did stocking stuffers for eachother with a $5 limit. It was so fun to see what everyone came up with for eachother.

We made dad some new brag-about-my-kids shirts which we know he will wear all the time everywhere he goes :) We also did updated scrapbook pages for his album. (That's what he asks for all the time!)

THANKS DAD FOR A WONDERFUL CHRISTMAS!! WE WISH YOU A HAPPY NEW YEAR!
