Wow, what a jammed pack holiday season! I don't even know where to start. We spent Christmas Eve at Mike's parent house. We do this every year. We eat way too much food play games and open presents.


It's so much fun.
That night we really had to talk to Jaycee about Santa Claws coming to our house. We assured her he wasn't going to stay very long and that she definitely would not see him. So we set him and his reindeer out a little treat, then it was off to bed. Christmas morning was fun. We left the video camera at Mike's parent so at 8:00 am Mike went all the way back to South Weber to grab it, and still made it back before either of the kids woke up. He actually woke them up when he came in the house. Who knows how long they would have slept! So we got the camera set up, went and got the kids then started opening presents like crazy. When we were all finished opening presents Mike went to turn off the video camera and it had died! We also didn't take any pictures with our other camera :( We need a photographer for special occasions. I always forget. Maybe if I had a better camera I would remember to take pictures.:)
I had to make 5 dozen eggs for my family breakfast party. Which I tried to cook all at the same time...bad idea. Then as we were headed to my sisters for breakfast Jaycee said "Mom, it smells like poop." I had to explain to her that it was just the eggs. We had a good time with my family. Then we came home and played with all our new toys. Later, Mike's parents came over and they brought us a surprise! Mike's brother Drew and his family had come in from Washington. We weren't expecting them this year, so that was fun.
We went sledding,



to the Tree House Museum and over to Mike's parents a lot, to play games and just hang out.
New years eve was almost the same as Christmas Eve. A lot of food, games and good company. Jaycee and Wesley stayed up with us this year. And again I didn't take any pictures...boo. On New Years day we went and played games with Trevor and Katie.
It was sad when Mike had to go back to work on Monday. We loved having Mike home, not working.
Yesterday, the 5th was me and Mikes anniversary.

After he got off work we went to a movie, "The Tourist", it wasn't that great. Then Iggies for dinner. Then home to play with the kids. :) He gave me 2 beautiful diamond bracelets! And wrote me a wonderful poem. He hasn't written me a poem in a long time. Good evening altogether.
Now here's to hoping things slow down for a little while.
