Utah Trip part 1

Leila and I arrived in Utah at the beginning of December. We had lots of fun shopping, going to parties and spending time with friends and family. One of Leila's favorite things to do was visiting Santa at the mall, but she did not want to sit on his lap only wave to him from a distance which was fine with me it saved me from standing in the Santa line. Paul arrived about a week later. Of course the day he was flying in was like the worst weather day. Flights were canceled and delayed all over the country. I watched his flight and they showed it was coming in about an hour late. So a little before it was suppose to arrive Leila and I headed to the airport. We couldn't stop in the park n' wait because there were so many people at the airport cars were everywhere, so we circled, little did I know Paul's flight was also circling the airport. They ended up not being able to land and flew back to Las Vegas, I didn't find out until he was already back to Vegas. They refueled and headed back to Salt Lake City. He finally arrived at 1 AM. My parents ward Christmas party, this is the closest Leila got to Santa all year

Leila loved helping Nanny make the gingerbread houses, but her favorite part was making the gingerbread men

We started the tradition of decorating gingerbread houses last year and continued on with it this year. It was a lot of fun and pretty messy. Leila enjoyed eating all the treats.
