You Belong in Rome



You're a big city soul with a small town heart
Which is why you're attracted to the romance of Rome
Strolling down picture perfect streets, cappuccino in hand
And gorgeous Italian people - could life get any better?

One Busy Month

Here is a really long post to catch you up. I will try to get to Christmas and New Years another day. We hope you all had a Happy Holiday season!
My little brother Scott came home from his mission! We love Uncle Scotty!!!

Aruba

Our trip to Aruba was wonderful. It was warm and relaxing. We loved having Allison with us and enjoyed doing so many fun things with her. Sorry I went a little crazy with so many pictures but just think of it as a make up for not posting for so long. It is good to be back home.

She rode her first Harley... Grandpa Phillips is so PROUD! (The toy kind is the only one she is allowed to ride...rules. Love, mom) :)
I just had to show everyone Alli's cute swimsuit and robe. Baby clothes are sooo cute.

At the end of a long, fun day on DePalm Island. Ah, the feel of your toes in the sand and the water rushing back into the ocean underneath your feet. The ocean was clear and the water felt nice. I can't get over those adorable chubby legs!

There is not much higher on our list of things we love to do than to travel. This was our first time, however, traveling with an infant. But I must say everything for the most part went well. Allison's first adventures with an airplane included about 16 hours of flying time and 9 hours of layovers. She was such a good girl and mostly slept on the flights. There was only one leg when she fussed a bit. It is definitely more stressful though when flying with a baby.


We went to see the lights downtown. I have to say I was not all that impressed this year. It seemed like there were a lot less lights this year. I love the big red tree on Temple Square and it was not lit up. But it was fun to be downtown. Allison rode trax for the first time and she met Thurl. Life with a babe is so much fun.
