Christmas - (Part Two)

Finally, getting around to post our second half of the Christmas season. After a wonderful visit with Eric, we headed to Stephanie and Brett's to spend Christmas with them. We were able to spend five days and then tried to beat the storm....(not sure that was too smart!!!!...that's another story). We also wanted to spend some time with Rick's family...and there was an added bonus...seeing #10 grandchild, adorable little Kael, blessed by his father! It was a wonderful Christmas: had fun making cookies with Noah and Cooper, time spent with my nephew, Travis, who we hadn't seen in four years, Christmas morning fun, going to temple square to see the lights, and a day visiting Rick's wonderful family! It was fun to see them again!

Christmas - Part One

Christmas came way too fast this year....and left way too fast! My favorite part of the year is Christmas but I seemed to have taken on way too many projects and was actually doing them up until I gave them away! This coming year...new plan....Christmas done by August! :) Eric and Joy came home the Saturday before Christmas and spent the first three days with us! It really didn't seem like long enough because Dad and I had to work Monday and Tuesday so we only really got to be with them for Sunday, Monday night and Tuesday night. It was fun though. Sunday we went to church and then Jason and Lacey and family came over for a early Christmas dinner and gift exchange. It was great being able to open gifts with each other and see the kid's faces as they opened their gifts from us. Then on Wednesday, Eric and Joy headed to her parents and after work, Rick and I, headed to Utah where we spent Christmas with Stephanie, Brett and family. (More posting later on our trip to Utah).
