Christmas 2008

Christmas was so fun this year, we had a family party with

both sides of the family and our own christmas morning.

I always look forward to christmas cause it's the only

time i really see my entire family at once. The only people

missing this year were my older sister Allison and her

family but we will see them in a couple months. We had

Santa come to our house, we had tons of food and snacks,

lots of awesome gifts and my favorite from my mom; a victorias secret gift card! Yay!!! We also had a photographer

come to our house and do family pictures, we all went to

cracker barrell for breakfast, my mom rented huge tables

and set it up so beautiful, cleaned my entire house, watched

about 6 of her grandchildren while the adults left to do our

own thing and made the entire dinner for 23 people all

by herself!!! She always seems to impress me, just

refusing our help so we could go enjoy ourselves while she

slaved away in the kitchen by herself with lots of kids

to watch at the same time, i love and appreciate her so

much!!!! It was one of the best Christmas' ever!!

Our Park City Trip

We went to Park City Sunday to Tuesday this week like we do every year. The kids Nate me and my mom all went up together and stayed in my moms condo. We talked up on the way, it went by so fast; we also made those plastic balloons, the kids had a blast with those. Unfortunatley there was no snow this time until we were leaving, then it started snowing, so

we missed it but we had so much fun without it

anyway. We went to Temple Square and saw all the

beautiful lights, nativity scenes, the Christmas Market,

the Tabernacle and much more! We went to the outlets

watched movies by the fireplace, played pool, went in the

jacuzzi and sauna and vegged out and relaxed. We also ate

at the Lions (Joseph Smiths Home) the food was all

homemade by these little old ladies, it was so good! This

is really the only place wev'e gone in a year so it was nice

to hang out as a family and take time off to relax, have fun

and be together!
