I could go for the Blue Plate right about now.

After a few days in Ogden with Q's family, we drove to SLC to visit my family. Q's request was to eat breakfast at his favorite Dives, Drive-ins, and Diners hot spot. We had [what else] the corned beef hash which was terrific. Our arteries are still recovering. Annie stole the show again. We took 2 photos: one focused on the food and one focused on Annie since those are probably our two favorite subjects on Earth.


We stayed with my cousin Kari. I highly recommend her for some sort of hostess award. Check out the decore in the guest bath! She has twins: Where does she find the time?!?! I kept thinking that the entire time we were there.

We had to get the girls. Four cousins right in a row. It's so fun!

Uncle Bob thankfully requested the Anasazi Grill for his birthday dinner.
YUM! We had only been back in town a few hours after the weather kept us in SLC an extra day and it was the day before Christmas Eve so we were swamped with last minute preparations, but you just don't say no to the Anasazi Grill. I always get the shrimp and scallops on the rock.

Christmas Eve:


We spent the evening at my Grandma Metcalf's. Of note is
Mom's new "nativity backdrop" that she's wanted all her life
and is the only thing she wanted to get done (THE DAY OF!).

Obviously, Annie is big on presents already.

Annie has some terrific Aunties. P.S. She was the cow in the nativity.
