If my memory serves me well, I think it has been about five years since Keri and I have been traveling to Utah for a little Christmas shopping! Truth be told, this trip is more about eating at our favorite spots, talking, laughing, staying up crazy late, and telling each other that it is really ok to buy some things we normally wouldn't feel ok about. Sometimes we even find a few Christmas presents for others along our way. Also, if I can remember correctly, the first year we pretty much filled up the back of my suburban with our purchases. Keri might have taken a picture of it. We got home and unloaded, hiding most of what we got, and she asked if she could keep some of her stuff in my garage for a couple of weeks. This year she called Nick (her hubby) as soon as we pulled in and asked for his help in unloading! My how things have changed :)
Each year we always find something very cute and irresistible! We have our favorite shopping spots, starting in St. George and ending in Salt Lake. We spend one night at Brenda's (my sister) and one night at Kimberly's (Keri's sister). It is a great way to start off the Christmas season and truly one of my favorite traditions!
ps- it is a little extra treat now that Tod and Sadie are going to school in Salt Lake and I get to see them too.
