MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! We were so lucky to get to go home for Christmas. I love home and I love Christmas and the combination of the two is pretty much the best thing ever.



We got there in time for our Christmas Eve party. We had the party at my parents house this year. We had dinner and gave white elephant gifts, played the paper bag game and read the Christmas story. Tanner got a little toilet plunger and Taren had a great time sticking it on his belly.







This is our Mary, Joseph, Jesus, Wiseman and Angels, its a little different from the normal story but it still works!

















SANTA came to our party!!!!











THIS IS THE PAPER BAG GAME!! You put a paper bag on the floor and you have to pick it up with your mouth and the only thing that can touch the ground is your feet, the last person to do it is the winner! So obviously the little kids did way better than the adults but to everyones surprise, Dillon, who is 17 and way taller than me, won! It was hillarious!















































On Saturday my entire family was home and we all went sledding together. We went up to the fourth reservoir and found some great hills. A couple of the hills had some jump off them and Colby and I went off of those. Colby made me go with him once and he landed right on top of me. We both have some pretty big bruises. My mom even went down once. Tyler and Ben crashed alot and still have a little road rash on their faces, but they loved it. Klea, Anthony and Colby had a contest to see who could go the farthest. Im not sure who won but they had a few accidents along the way and it was fun for the rest of us to watch.

Broncos Game

For our anniversary we went to Denver and spent a few days. We spent the whole first night of our trip in the Airport in Salt Lake. Jens drove with us up there and took our car back home. The weather was HORRIBLE (sorry Jens)! Our flight was delayed like ten times. We were supposed to leave at nine and we didn't leave until two in the morning. We slept for a bit in the airport but didnt get to our motel room until five. But the trip was still fun. The highlight of our trip was going to the Broncos game. It was way awesome. We sat on row 31 up from the field. We were way close! They lost, which sucks but it was fun. You wouldn't believe the amount of people that were drinking. They would go get a new beer about every ten minutes. The temperature was twelve degrees during the game and that was not including the wind chill. It was so cold that I couldn't feel my body for three hours after the game, and of course my intelligent husband wouldn't bring a coat with him so he froze. Here are some of the pictures from the game.

The BIG Hunt

For Thanksgiving we went to Blanding and spent time with both our families. The most exciting part of Thanksgiving was the lion hunt. We went lion hunting with my family and one of our friends. We went up on Elk Ridge and as we were driving along I saw a lion sitting under a tree, which is rare. If you look closely you can see it in the first picture sitting under a tree. We let the dogs out and they treed it, then it ran about 2,000 feet down Hammond canyon. Teresa finally shot it in the bottom of the canyon. These are some pretty amazing pictues. The lion was about 8 feet long, it was a big lion. It was way fun!

SCRAPBOOKING WITH MY SISTERS

In November all my sisters and my mom came up to Orem and we spent the whole weekend scrapbooking, shopping and watching movies. Sheena brought her Cricut and Tiff helped me finish my wedding pictures! Im so far behind. We did a little christmas shopping and went to Twilight the Friday after it opened, we had to sit in line for about an hour. It was a little ridiculous but we had fun!
