Carriage ride

Forgot to post one way fun thing we did... a carriage ride with my dad. We had to keep changing the night we wanted to go so my mom got called into work, Derrick and Kayla were already busy and Darren didn't want to go out in the cold ha ha. I haven't gone in a couple years it was a lot of fun! We got to see a lot downtown during the ride. We walked the temple grounds, got hot chocolate and saw the Joseph Smith movie! I think this is going to have to be a new tradition.. hopefully next time my whole family can come :)

 

Have a holly jolly christmas

Another Christmas has come and gone! It was a good one for us!! Here are some pictures of our Christmas festivities:

We went to see the Reindeer & Christmas lights with our family at Thanksgiving point. Jack drove us :) 

 

We attempted a Gingerbread house.. once at my work party and at my parents. Both failed in the end!

My last day at work a family came visiting for Christmas.. went sledding and the 8 yr. old ran into his Uncle and came into our office as an emergency.. little boy broke off all 4 top teeth and 2 bottom all permanent teeth still coming in... did that stop us from going the next day? No!

Did we hurt ourselves? Yes!

Jake went off a huge jump and hurt his arm.

Darren hurt his bum.

And I... thought I'd be adventurous and go after Jake on a smaller jump and I still cannot sit properly without hurting my tail bone :(

Later that night we went for our traditional Christmas Eve party with The Buhler's! This year my in-laws gave Jake and I money earlier in the month and we were to buy a nice gift and bring it that night to show off what we got!

My sweet husband didn't get anything.. instead he wanted me to have the nice gift and got me a sewing machine! I sure love him!

After we went to my parents to sleepover and open our P.J's

Here is a picture of the beauty I got this year.. she works like a charm! We have made 1 cute bag and one more is being made still.. pics to come :)

We had one fabulous Christmas! I still can't believe it's come and gone by that fast!

Here's to 2010... it's going to be a great year for us! :)

Oh Chritmas Tree..

Just had to show off how amazingly gorgeous our BIG Christmas tree turned out this year now that all our ornaments for this year are up!!

 Remember this cute tiny tree....

From this cute movie...

Well here it is... ha ha! This is what happens when your on your final month of living with your parents and your Christmas tree and all your decorations and other ornaments are all packed away in storage!! I told Jake I still wanted a little tree... and little is just what we got! Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree!!

All of our Christmas shopping is FINALLY done! And now as you can see our gifts are much bigger than our Christmas tree! And no worries this isn't all of them.. 3 more big ones our upstairs under the family tree..guess we needed some room!

Hope everyone is having some Holiday fun!! :D
