 We just returned to Rhode Island from a two week trip to Utah to see our families for the Holidays. My mom is now living in a nursing home and it was good to finally see her and where she lives. My grandma is also there. I got to introduce Cosby to my mom for the first time. (Well, to basically everyone for the first time)


We stayed at my parent's house. The first full day we were there we got some pizza and decorated the Christmas tree. Atlas loves his cousins.




The boys spent a lot of time playing Super Smash Bros.


The kids all teamed up to wrestle Grandpa.



After all the fun, I went grocery shopping with Meg. It was fun to kick it around Harmon's with her. The next day, Lauren and I threw a bridal shower for Meg with a bunch of our aunts and some cousins. I spent all morning cooking soups. It was nice to see some family.




Everywhere you turn, on either side of my family, there are babies abounding.


There is no shortage of playmates.


The next day we blessed Cosby.


It was great to see so many of the awesome guys in our families together.


The next day we spent Christmas Eve at the Potter House where we eat dinner and play lots of games that I suck at.


Atlas woke up Christmas morning and opened up his presents, which mostly consisted of video games.


Cosby was fascinated by his new play mat.


Soon, cousins came over and Atlas got to help them unwrap their presents from Grandpa.


The oldest three got matching scooters. Now they can form a scooter gang.


We got so much snow! It was beautiful. We spent a lot of the day after Christmas shoveling show and getting ready for....


Megan and Michael's wedding. The day was absolutely crazy for me, but really fun to see my baby sis get married in the Salt Lake Temple.


My boys looked pretty good.


It was an exhausting day.


I even had to speak at the dinner.


The cake was delicious and I ended up eating leftover cake pretty much every single day until we came home. I am now having cake withdrawals.


We were able to catch up with some seriously awesome friends.




But we had to cancel with quite a few cause our boys got sick again. So we spent the last few days with family, which was great. Look at all these Potter boy cousins (no girls yet.)



The last full day we were there was Nick's birthday so we went out for a night on the town. It was so nice to be able to spend some time together, cause that's just something we don't get to do out here. It's always nice and rejuvenating to see so many people and have some people around to love our kids. Hopefully we will be able to return in the summer.
