Day 1-Utah Trip

We headed down to Salt Lake City with Blake's family for a weekend of fun, shopping, swimming and a baby blessing.  We rolled into Salt Lake around 7pm and had a short Friday night to enjoy

We went to visit Temple Square thinking we were going to see the last night of the lights; but we had missed it by one night.  We still were able to enjoy a few of the nativity scenes that were still up

Allie with her cousin Jane.  Allie just adores her cousin Jane.  She talks about her all the time and just loves when she can get together with her

We quickly left the freezing cold outside and checked into our hotel.  We went and enjoyed a swim in the pool to warm us up.  It was surprisingly warm

We then quickly showered and got pajamas on so we could make to the hotel lobby for a 10 o'clock family meeting where we discussed the plan of events for Saturday.  Wow....we are growing.  I can't believe how many cousins there are in the family. We were so noisy down in the lobby we were told we needed to break up our meeting and head to our rooms

So....we all left the meeting and a group of us converged in the Given's room only to enjoy some late night talking, wrestling by Allie and Cam, and  a late night Little Caesars run by the boys.
