Christmas Day

We spent Christmas day with my family. It was great, our Christmas present this year was Disneyland so we all got to sleep in until 11:00 and spent the day playing Mariokart and eating more good food. I slacked on taking pictures, but I did take some of Sean and Chad when they decided to go out in the CRAZY snow blizzard to go sledding.




Christmas Eve

Chad's parents go all out on Christmas Eve for their 18 grandkids. It is so much fun to watch them open up their presents from Nanny and Papa-not to mention all the delicious food everyone brings!

Disneyland '08

This last week we went to Disneyland with my family. Sean is leaving on his mission in January and wanted to go on a family vacation before he left, Chad and I went last year at this time and really loved so we suggested it and everyone agreed! I LOVE Disneyland, I don't think I can even tell you why, it is just fun and I love to be there. And it is even better during Christmas time, everything is lit up and the castle looks amazing! I made sure my camera was charged and ready to go so enjoy!

Family Time

We are done with finals finally! The semester drug on for both of us, but we both think we did well! Chad went online to take his last final and found out that he had to get a password from the testing center at UVU-so he had a half an hour to get from our house in Riverton to UVU, luckily he made it!
We had a really good weekend with our families. It is not very often that all 8 kids are in town, but it happened last weekend. Chad's parents invited us all over for steaks and it was really great to see everyone!
One of my favorite thing about Christmas is going to the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert, they are so amazing and always have extremely talented guests perform with them. We went with my family on Sunday morning, we love the Sunday morning performance because that is the one the prophet attends. It was so great to feel the spirit and remember why we celebrate Christmas. Sorry for no pictures..I brought my camera but did not realize it was out of battery-bummer huh..

Clarification..

I guess I should have told you all who Harrison is and the story...it's the last week of school so my brain is fried I apologize for the lack of info. Harrison was Chad's best friend-they were practically brothers. In August 2007 Harrison was diagnosed with ALL, a type of leukemia. He fought hard but passed away in January. That is the whole story, does the last post make a little more sense now?

We love and miss you Harrison!

Tonight we got together with all of Chad's friends and went to dinner at Bonsai. 6 of them have birthdays in December so we decided to celebrate all together. It was good to get together to remember Harrison and all the good memories they all had with them, his birthday is on the tenth and we definitely miss him terribly.




We also finally got our Christmas tree up, I love our tree. My awesome mom bought it for us and all the decorations-isn't she great?

Happy Birthday Chad!




It was Chad's birthday on Wednesday-the big 24. We both had school, I didn't get done until seven, but I came home and made him tacos since he loves them and I hate them so I never make them. So I went to WalMart to get the cake because suprisingly they are really good, but the lady did a horrible job at writing on it, so that it is why it looks so bad! Chad got some new clothes and some nice warm Ugg boots! Love you Chad!
