Christmas in Star Valley

We made the drive up during our holiday break in Arizona to celebrate Christmas with the family in Star Valley this year. One of my favorite and most special moments was having Grandpa Byron Hoopes reading the Christmas story from the bible while the family acted out the nativity. Grandma Mary and Grandpa were both sitting on the couch together, reading the scriptures. I really began to realize at that moment how important these kinds of moments are. We didn't rehearse, our costumes were last minute, but we were together as a family creating memories.

 Our family gatherings also include Aunt Celeste, Uncle Guy, Sage and Hunter. Aimee was also around for the holidays. We are worried about her, so it was good to spend time with her as well.

Ben and I had just found out a few months ago that we would be expecting a sweet little baby boy in June. Momma Hoopes could not be more excited to be a future Grandma- and so we were given a few new baby items. Such a nervous and exciting time for us and our family! We cannot wait to meet this sweet little boy.
