Bryce and I were able to celebrate a few Christmas's this year. We celebrated with Bryce's family Christmas Eve, my immediate family on Christmas day and with my grandparents a few days after Christmas! We did Christmas with my family a little different this year in that we let the kids open up all their gifts on Christmas morning and enjoyed the gifts with them and then later on in the afternoon we opened up our gifts. It seemed to work out a lot better! My family is not one for chaos so we switched things up!:)
The kids loved all of their new toys and WOW did they get spoiled! They are such fun kids!
I know I'm a little biast (sp?) but isn't she just the cutest thing ever?!!
I swear this picture wasn't staged!:)
If you know Bryce and I then you know that we (originally Bryce) love the Red Sox! We have turned my parents into Red Sox fans so we like to shower them with Red Sox gear! We're always good for a Red Sox gift! And.....
Bryce says that if you are a "true" Red Sox fan then you should like the Dropkick Murphys. They are the band who sings the song "Shipping up to Boston" which is played at most, if not all, Red Sox games. :) Jonathan Pappelbon, an amazing closing pitcher for the Red Sox, danced the Irish Jig to this song after they won the world series! Just a little history for ya.:)
Bryce and I got some great gifts this year! Thank you, thank you! I love.... my subscription to US Weekly, my Stampin' Up stuff, Pampered Chef stuff, MAC makeup, Carrie Underwood CD, "Kathy" purse, money! and everything else not mentioned. I will not lie--- I love gifts!!:) We are also thankful that our family is concious of getting us small gifts that we can fit in our suitcase to lug back to Omaha!
We ended our Christmas day celebration with an updated family picture. We thought it was pretty good considering how hard it is to get a 3 year old and an 18 month old to actually look at the camera.:) Four days later we took a road trip to Blanding to celebrate Christmas with my grandparents.
I thought I'd start out with a picture of the littlest tiger....I mean biggest, furiest cat you've ever seen!!!
This is my mom's cat Ali. She is also the meanest cat you've ever met! She basically only lets my mom and I pet her. She hisses at almost anyone else if they get too close! I'm just glad she seems to remeber me even though I only go home twice a year.
It was a long trip to Blanding from Tooele but we were very thankful to be able to spend time with my grandparents! I can't even begin to express the love I have for them!! We are a pretty close family, which I am so grateful for. Above are my dad's parents and below are my mom's parents. They are all such wonderful people! They would do anything for their grandchildren!
Bryce and I got a money tree which was such a cute idea! We bought a new camera for Christmas before we left Omaha and are thankful that it will now be payed for!:) Thanks again everyone! Christmas was wonderful!
We miss you all already!!!!!

I'm so glad you were able to have such a great time while you were here. Sometimes it seems like all you do is run from one place to another when you're visiting(at least thats how we are) but its still great and we wouldn't have it any other way! I can't believe Ali is still around. Remember when we were freshmans and you would "talk" to Ali on the phone? Ha, ha ha! Love ya!
