I had no access to my camera during our Christmas trip to Utah because I left it in the overhead bin of the plane on our way out. Thankfully, the airlines found my bag and shipped it to me, but that means I have little photographic documentation of our Utah trip. It also means I couldn’t download photos from our trip to Nauvoo until now, so in a nutshell, here’s what the past three weeks of our lives look like (kinda).<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
