The Twelve Days of the Holidays

So ... remember our awesome holiday poem from last year? Well, we decided to try our hand at again this year. A tradition, some may say. We're combining Christmas and Thanksgiving into the holidays, so hopefully you don't get confused. Here it goes ... (this year it's complete with pictures).

Think "Twelve Days of Christmas"

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
A new sister by the Christmas tree
A little cold, Zac?

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Too (many) family pictures 
(I love Zac's face in this one)

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Three rockers rocking
Trevor took the picture
Also, notice the snuggies (not product placement)

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
40 to 7
Go BYU!

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Five yup, yup, yup, yup, yups (ks, ks)

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Six below zero
The building where Zac asked me to marry him

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Seven swimmers swimming

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Eight diners toasting
Warning: the following photos may make you hungry.
My favorite holiday food. Hands down.

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Nine different yogurts

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Ten pins a-fallin'

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Eleven fighter planes
 

If it's holidays with the Lewi, you will likely see
Twelve dozen cookies
The ones Zac and I made by ourselves. Note the evil snowman.

Eleven fighter planes
Ten pins a-fallin'
Nine different yogurts

Seven swimmers swimming
Six below zero

Five yup, yup, yup, yup, yups (ks ks)

 40 to 7
Three rockers rocking
Too (many) family pictures
One new sister by the Christmas tree

And one family trip around the world.
Story: what started off as an innocent attempt at finding a better backdrop for the family pictures turned into a fun-filled family vacation that was out of this world (sometimes literally). 
Come with me as we go on a magic ... rock ... ride.

Moral of the story: Photoshop is dangerous late at night.

Thanks everyone for helping to make our holidays great!
Ever heard of wearing shorts to a Christmas party? Zac did.
Thanks Julie Chubbuck for the picture.
