Update...Finally

My name is Christa & I am a blog slacker! I have tell me to update the blog...so here it is. It may be a long post, it has been a month you know! Consider yourself warned!

December has been a month filled with fun & adventures. The weekend after Thanksgiving, we started our Christmas decorating. The boys had a ton of fun helping out this year, putting the ornaments on the tree. Each morning when the boys got up the first thing they did was turn on the tree. So we enjoyed our tree fully (day in & day out).

A week before Christmas the boys & I went grocery shopping with GranDee & Papa for all the food for Christmas that we would need. We went to Costco in Sandy, & ran into some people from California that my parents knew. As we were chatting with them, Ryan & Nathan were playing. Ryan was sitting in the cart & Nathan would have nothing to do with the cart. Anyway, Nathan was putting his head between Ryan's feet. At some point Nathan fell & had a fight with the shopping cart. I hate to admit it, but the shopping cart won, & Nathan had a good big black eye for the next week and a half!

This was the year for all my siblings & their families to have Christmas with us. We did Christmas Eve at our house & had a lot of fun. Christmas was then spent at my sister's house. We didn't have to worry about a white Christmas this year. The two weeks leading up to Christmas it snowed & snowed & snowed. It even snowed Christmas day! We spent the day playing games & the Wii at my sister's in Riverton. Around 3:30, we started thinking about dinner when all of a sudden the power went out. We had no power for 4 hours! My handy brother-in-law rigged up his generator so that we had light in the kithcen. We only used that for 30 minutes or so, before the power was back on.

Due to the weather, we decided to spend the night in Riverton. The next day we spent sledding, & playing more games. Oh, I forgot to mention my birthday. It was great! I got a Wii Fit from my family! What a great surprise.

New Years was again spent at my sister's house. We ate, played & watched a movie. Even my cute kids stayed up unitl midnight! Nathan got scared by the fog horn my brother-in-law set off & it took Matt a good 45 minutes to calm him down. Of course our kids were up by 8am!

We have spent the past few weeks working on re-fianancing the house. The rates are down & we figured we wold see what we could get.

One of the things Matt & I got for Christmas was season tickets to the Hale Center Theater in West Valley. We got them from my parents. Well last week was the first play, "Cash on Delivery". It is a great comedy & clean! It was a blast. We are looking forward to seeing many more plays this year with my parents.

Ryan will be five next week! I can't believe it! So we will be celebrating that & then the following week, we leave for California & Disneyland!
