Happy Pioneer Day

Yesterday was Utah's Pioneer Day, where we celebrate the pioneer heritage of our state.  We celebrated the holiday by spending it with family.  We spent the evening and night before the holiday visiting with Grandma and Grandpa Christensen in Brigham City.  Both grandparents took advantage of the opportunity to be able to hold and cuddle with their youngest great-granddaughter.

The next morning we had a wonderful Grandma-made breakfast: french toast, bananas, bacon, and fresh raspberries from Grandma's garden.  Then we headed over the hill to Logan for Bryce to meet with a few Opera colleagues. While he did, the kids and I had fun playing in the shade and soft grass outside the tabernacle.

Owen and MayLynn had fun pretending to be animals, running from tree to tree, and climbing lamp-posts.  River just had fun chillin' in the shade.

 

After Bryce's meeting and our play time, we had lunch with my brother Teddy, his wife, Brit, and their baby, Glen.  I didn't pull out the camera at lunch, but here's a picture of them that I helped my mom put together for the family reunion that we're going to tomorrow.

One of the best things about being back in Utah is being able to spend time with family - especially for the holidays.
