As Promised...the End of the Story

Before I finish writing about our trip to Utah, I just have to put up this picture of my sister Becca. Sorry that your pleading fell on deaf ears, Bec, but I think it's a funny picture :).

Look at Amy's face. Hahahahaha.

Ok. On to more serious stuff. While we were in Utah we blessed Topher. It was really special and it meant so much to me that we had family around to share the experience with us.

Two of my sisters: Jenny and Becca. Enjoying their drinks obviously.

Jared and Brenda. They have Scott and I beat for cutest couple in the family :).

Amy, Libby, Marissa, and the twins (sorry Brenda, I'm not sure who is who).

Abby eating from four plates. Just kidding :).

Uncle Mike wouldn't turn his head toward me and then ended up blocking Kari's face as well. We love you both anyway :)

Grandma and Grandpa Averett

Grandpa Huff and Craig (also Grandpa Huff to Topher :).

Hannah and Brianna: Same age, different "views" of the world :)

Topher with Dad and Grandma Huff

We loved spending time with family and it was fun to see how Topher's cousins reacted to him. Our nephew, Bryan, when asked if he wanted to see the baby would respond with a resounding "No!" and then move far away from him (this did get better by the time they headed back to Texas). Matt on the other hand, loved playing with Topher and would come over and rub his tummy and get really excited when he smiled. This is Matt telling Topher goodbye:

Topher also had fun with another cousin; they enjoyed hitting each other in the face anyway :)

While in Utah we also got family pictures taken. I'd list everyone, but Topher is starting to fuss so I need to finish this post fast. It was cold and a few people are crying/making weird faces, Topher and Libby, but I think the picture turned out great.

Again, we had a great time in Utah, seeing family and just being able to hang out. All too soon we had to say goodbye though. Topher liked saying goodbye until it came time to give Grandma Curtis a hug. I think it's because he knew he was going to miss her :).





We left Utah County early because there was so much snow and we actually had a great trip until our flight from Vegas to Hartford.



After these pictures were taken, Topher started screaming and wouldn't stop for almost an hour. Nothing we did seemed to help so we (and the people in the seats around us) just sucked it up. It made for a miserable flight. As did the fact that our flight got in an hour late and I ended up being the third to last person to leave the airport. Finally, around 3 in the morning we arrived home. We are now all over our jet lag and crazy sleeping schedules and doing great. Plus, we were able to get all our stuff home from Utah. Thanks for a great holiday everyone! We love you guys!!!
