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

Go BYU!

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

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

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

My favorite holiday food. Hands down.

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.
