Christmas Catchup Part One: A Nauvoo Christmas

Our Christmas travels began Friday the 19th as we trudged on to AF through a horrible snow storm, witnessing multiple trucks spin off the road, cars flipped over, and tow trucks pulling cars out of the snow, but we arrived alive and were glad we 1)left town hours earlier than planned, and 2) only had to go halfway. Saturday we woke up and headed on to Vernal. My mom's ward had their Christmas party at a cabin up by Red Fleet, themed "Christmas in Nauvoo". It was really fun, they had an old fashioned candy shop, pioneer crafts, soup, scones, and hot chocolate, and Santa, of course. He a was a very sickly santa--no one could sit on his lap, he could hardly breathe, and they had to carry him up the step, but he was santa non the less, and he seems to have had a speedy recovery in time to deliver all the toys.

Me, trying to force my baby to sit on this scary man's lap again:
