Alright, I know this is RIDICULOUSLY late. But hey, better late than never I always say! (hehe) Utah was AMAZINGLY busy over Christmas but goodness, it was soooo nice to see our families again. Our parent's homes were so festive and so welcoming. I love the smells that each offers, that immediately brings happy memories of years past rushing to the present. LOVE. IT.
