Christmas Week 2008

Christmas 2008  was nice and simple, our focus was not on presents but it was on the true meaning, Christ and his birth.  We found that this was the best year so far of our married years because we didn't exchange gifts, but we both wrote a letter to each other, which was all either of us wanted, it was so great!!  Curt's sister and her kids were there Christmas morning and so we got to do the whole Santa thing and enjoy the present opening.  I missed my family but got to talk to Bubba on the phone, only a couple more months :)  My family got on Skype Christmas Eve and exchanged our ornaments and read our Christmas stories, it wasn't the same but it was the best we could do.  We enjoyed our Christmas surrounded by family and loved keeping it SIMPLE!  I think that will be our new tradition for each other.  Hope you all had a Merry one and have a Happy New Year.  Here are a few random photos.  


The Happy Snowman.
With all that great snow we received Curt decided to make a snowman for the nephews to beat up when they came over from all the snow that was on our trampoline. It lasted over a week, it was great.


Christmas Day we enjoyed a yummy big dinner at Curt's brother Brian's house, here is all the food before we all dove in.  It was delicious thanks Karen and the rest of the clan.

Curt's grandpa lives with Curt's Mom and so he comes to all our family functions and we  love having him, he celebrated his 92nd birthday this year and still going strong, we love you Grandpa!!

And last but not least a picture of all the bro's minus Chad he was on his way. Craig, the one in the center, is moving to Italy in August, so this our last hoorah with him and his family until we go to Italy to visit :) I can't wait, thanks for the invite guys.

Oh My Gosh!

Ok People, I was lying, that last blog was all about snow but..........



this is what I woke up to this morning.  CRAZY!!  I have lived here for 9 years and have never seen this much snow down here.  It does occasionally snow but it doesn't usually stick and it never stays over night, it is usually melted in about 20 minutes.  We have like 3 or 4 inches of snow and my poor palm trees.  Well anyways, we just may have a white Christmas here, we will see.

Let it Snow!


What is wrong with this picture?

Yes, snow in St. George and yes my poor palm trees.  The weather has been so crazy this season.  It was so warm for so long and then all of the sudden, SNOW!!  I don't think the pool likes it either.  I am having the hardest time warming up, and I know you all live in much colder places and are letting me whine about my sad snow, thanks.  Hope you all having a HAPPY holiday and hope you all are close to being ready for Christmas day, I am getting close, but it will be nice to have all the hussle and bussle over.
Merry Christmas!!
