When the Family Gets Together

For the first time in about 3.5 years we had all of the Shaw family members in one house (it was only for Christmas day, but we'll take it)! Between leaving for school and missions, we have not all been together and we even had a brand new addition of Brooklyn Mae Shaw born on the 22nd. We have had so much fun being with the fam and right now it is snowing peacefully which is a perfect Christmas to me. I will post more pictures of Christmas, but this is what makes being home the best.

Winter Wonderland!!!!!

Allie has now officially had her first Snowstorm AND her first visit with Santa, both were quite successful and she enjoyed every minute (much to her Mother's delight)! She is still a little unsure about what to do with snow, she just sticks it in her mouth and then shivers and laughs.

Intently trying to figure this cold stuff out. Mom trying to convince Allie that she likes the snow and cold.

First visit to Santa and no tears. She even seemed to like him.

To GG's House We Go

On our whirlwind trip to St. George to go visit Grandma Meldrum we had the chance to see the St. George Temple lights. Not quite Temple Square, but still delightful and almost as cold. As we drove up to the temple we thought that they had not turned on the lights yet, but as we got closer we saw the bright LED lights around the temple grounds. We sure enjoyed our time visiting GG Meldrum and even kept Allie from attacking her Christmas Village.
