Utah

Chase and I are so happy to be back in Utah! There is snow on the ground, the air is crisp and cold, and my parents house is decorated so beautifully for Christmas! Our first few days back have been packed full of fun activities:

• A doctor appointment for me and baby #2. After going 14 weeks without seeing a doctor I was very thankful to see our little boy on ultrasound and hear the news that he's doing well! The doctor said his head is measuring big- a week bigger than the rest of his body, so I guess we have a smart boy on the way!
• Christmas shopping! In my nesting mode I have been wanting to shop for over a month now and I love it! Aunt Heidi was a champ by playing with Chase throughout our whole shopping trip on Saturday so that my mom and I could focus on the shopping. Chase laying on his stomach playing with toys in the middle of Babies R Us was priceless!
• Spending time with family- both Will and Heidi have been able to come visit and I love seeing them! My parents house feels so cozy and safe and I really love being here. 
• Friday night we attended the ward Christmas party and it was amazing! The food was incredible, the entertainment was fun and the decorations were incredible. After being in charge of a few branch functions in Dominica that never seemed to go smoothly, I can appreciate how much work went into that night.
• Sunday night my mom and I attended the stake Christmas concert and it was absolutely incredible! I love Christmas music and it was so wonderful to just sit and listen to beautiful music about the Savior and think of him during this time of year. 
• Visiting with dear friends- I love reconnecting with people we've missed so much while we were away.
• Ben joined up with us on Thursday night! I was so happy to get him back from the East coast!
