Christmas in Chile

We had the extraordinary experience of spending Christmas in Chile this year with the Corbridge clan. As most of you know, my in-laws are currently serving and living in Chile. So, we all made the trip to South America to enjoy Christmas together. It's been awhile since the whole family has been together like this - with five missionaries, family living out of state, the Corbridges serving as mission presidents, etc. Consequently, this made for a great opportunity and memory we'll never forget! Here's some pics from our adventures:

Hi! My friend sent me the link to your blog because my son is currently in the MTC, headed out to Osorno, Chile in 9 days!! I looked on the blog and realized that your mom in law was Sister Corbridge who I served in YW's with in Sandy Utah for over a year and your dad in law was our stake president!! I love them! What mission are they serving in? Do they have an email? Can you email me at alliamezcua@gmail.com and let me know how I can get in touch with them?? Thanks! Your blog is so cute- love your photos. We have not lived in Ut for 10 years (we live in Mn now) and so those Corbridge boys are all grown up!!
