st george

The Bailey family congregated in St. George for 4 days starting the day after Christmas. It was fun to have almost the whole family together. It isn't often, if ever, that we really spend quality time together, and it was nice to be in a relaxing place, enjoying family. There was lots of aunt and uncle time, sibling time, and cousin time. Plus, the place was big enough that we could have all the alone time that we wanted or needed. The kids came up from Kanab so we were able to celebrate a belated Christmas with them and haul all Santa's treasures down for them to enjoy. All in all, it was a really nice extended Christmas break.Shalise and Tay in the kitchen I don't think in the 4 days we were there that the pool table was ever not being used. Tay brought Coco with her and the kids LOVED having him around.. but so did Ryan and I! I think we forget how much we love that dang dog, and then we see him and we just can't get enough of his cuteness. Kate getting her Coco lovesand Keegen too. We just crack up and Alden and his obsession with Star Wars. It is the cutest thing to see his passion for anything and everything Star Wars. Here he is concentrating so hard, tongue out and all, making sure that gun is put together just right. Liam and Keegen intently watching Clone Wars.
