Christmas Day!

We woke up Christmas morning and headed over to my Aunt Cindy's again. It is always a lot of fun to have breakfast at her house. Dan, Danika, and Luke came over from Layton, Cory, Kristin, Braden and Will came from home, and Jenni was already there. It is always so much fun being in a house full of family! :)
























Christmas Eve!

This Christmas we were lucky enough to travel to Utah to be with my family. We spent Christmas Eve at my Aunt Cindy's house in Logan. For dinner we had meatball sandwiches...they were VERY good!

After dinner we had a white elephant game. THAT WAS A LOT OF FUN! I ended up with Jenni's gift, which were lottery tickets. I won $25! David won some lotion...LoL! Looks like I really lucked out! :)

We also played a family poker game. It was a lot of fun. My dad and David really enjoyed it! David ended up winning after him and my dad went "all in!"

We opened presents after dinner...then went back to Aunt Terri's for the night! Christmas in Utah is always wonderful!

Lunch with the fam-bam!

On Christmas Eve my dad headed down to Salt Lake to pick up Skyler, David and Jenni from the airport. While he was doing this, my Aunt Terri, Aunt Cindy, mom, Cousin Ryan and I went to lunch at a restaurant called Blackstone.

We started out wanting to go to Juniper take-out, but they were closed for Christmas Eve. Ryan was disappointed, but we just decided to go to Blackstone. It was a really nice restaurant, and the food was great too!!!

Everyone made fun of me for taking this picture. I though it was hilarious that we all paid separate, and that we all used plastic money...LOL!

Driving to Utah!

On the 21st, I started the journey to Utah with my parents. We left around 10 a.m. and took all 3 of the dogs. David and Skyler were going to be flying up on Christmas Eve since they had to work.

My parents decided that they wanted to stop in Mesquite and stay over night, instead of driving straight through, so we did. I prefer making the drive in one day, but since I was with them I had to do what they said :)

We made it to Logan on the 22nd around 6 p.m.


Mady and Motley were not sure what they were supposed to do in the car...Mums getting comfortable for the 12 hr car ride :) My parents REALLY wanted to stop in Mesquite so that they could gamble. I, unfortunately do not enjoy casinos, so it wasn't much fun for me...
