CHRISTMAS

We had a great Christmas! We were a little homesick for Utah and all the family, but it was such a relaxing day. It was fun starting our own family traditions. It was nice to not be rushed, and have to hurry to get someplace. The kids woke up about 7:30. They came and jumped into bed with us. We read the Christmas Story out of Luke and than had to wait while Dad took care of his dog. Finally we got to go downstairs. The boys had so much fun opening presents. Santa spoiled the kids and was way to generous. After presents, we ate a yummy breakfast, monkey bread and breakfast casserole. We lounged all day long. The boys played inside and out. I played around with my camera (which I am still trying to master), and Jared help dig out all the neighbors who are out of town (what a great guy!) For dinner, we went to the Stingham's for the traditional ham dinner. It tasted SO good. It is amazing how long we look forward to Christmas and how quickly it comes and goes. Now it is time to take down decorations, go back to work, and start eating healthy.
