Winter Solstice Parade

We read about this parade in the Park City newspaper. We hadn't been there before so really didn't know what to expect. Having been to many other Park City parades, however, we expected something pretty big with lots of people. We got to Main Street a little early so we decided to enjoy a tasty hot chocolate from Cows. Then we walked down and back up Main Street, not seeing anything resembling a parade. Darn...we thought we missed it, but wait...then we heard sirens. In total, I think there were 7 vehicles (including the cop car) in the parade. It was still a blast to be out in the cold with many other Parkites. That is small town life, for sure!

Grandpa Rich Comes To Visit!

Grandpa Rich flew to Utah to spend some time with us. We had a really nice visit: walks every day, Zoo Lights, Ikea (Dad's first time), In and Out Burger (Dad's first time), dinner with Andy's family, opening presents, filling up Emma's bank, and just hanging out.

**On a side note: I saw Hugh Laurie (Dr. House) at Whole Foods last week!

Zoo Lights

Jen and I took the girls to Zoo Lights at the Hogle Zoo. It was a bit chilly but still fun to see all of the fun lights.

Avila is about 7 months old and Emma just loves her!

Avila was all smiles for the camera. Emma...not so much.

Snow"Ball"

Our staff Christmas party had the prom theme this year. While most couples chose to go the more modern route, Andy and I chose to be a bit different.
