As promised . . . love ya BERT!


Anothern' down, '09 to go. What a merry day, and how fun the blizzard! Did you guys get tons of it, Julie's probably getting it today. We here in Cache Valley had the amazing, lovely, and did I say WONDERFUL, dinner Grandma served. Jealous? Then we opened presents, there is always a sad sigh in my heart knowing Kim isn't there to pass them out. Remember it had to be silent before he'd call out the next name, and that just did not work with toddlers.
Then we played games and ate some more, and by the way did you know James is ticklish?

Twas the night before Christmas


Roy and I went to his bank christmas party last night. They go all out, they have a raffle you get a ticket for being an employee, then you donate can goods to get more tickets. We left with another night at little america in salt lake, a portable dvd player, and a high powered flashlight. They also gave away concert tickets, numerous gift cards, flat screen tv, ipods. I guess the economic down turn hasn't effected at least our bank in cache valley.
Several times throughout dinner we got phone calls, "Can we use the tree skirt? Can we use a christmas tree? Where are the santa hats?"
We came home to play tickets on the kitchen table to the play, Twas the night before Christmas, being performed in the Sitting Room concert hall. Hailey's beard is actually a battenburg lace handkerchief.

Happy 50th Anniversary








I think Shayna could beat me for pictures taken. Thanks to Grandma and Grandpa for such a wonderful trip. I enjoyed the dinner and testimonies. My other highlights were - the awesome hotel, being with family, dressing my girls up for Princess day, Raquel and Brilee getting locked in the airplane bathroom, and the serene night sky before landing in Salt Lake.
Check Heidi's Blog for her story also if anyone else has their own blogs, let me know and I'll add the link, that way you're not overbloggin your brain out.
