Last weekend was a mad house. We had two Christmas parties back to back. Caleb was a trooper and stuck through both of them with me. Houstin, Morgan, Kayl and Taryn showed up for the second party. We were there all day long and needless to say exhausted by the time we got home. We had so much fun spending time with the family, it was a little rough a few times not having Jason there but we made it through.
Tori, my sweet sister....girl....I just love you! We laughed so hard together (had nothing to do with the rum in Jody's coke...I swear it). Another funny turkey story for the books. As I was burning the ham, Tori was cooking her first turkey. As she is explaining her process to Jolene and I, telling us about taking out the yucky stuff in the bird we ask her what she did with the other bag in the neck of the bird. Yep, she did it....she cooked the Turkey with the bag in the neck. Maybe she and I should not be in charge of the big stuff next year.
I think this is the last year I will ever see this, Noodle with Santa. How could you get any cuter than this. Thank you Tori for snapping this for me, the best photographer to capture this moment. The more I look at this picture the more I want to cry....the end of innocents....

Sunday, another fabulous day. Took the kids to Park City to see John and Nikki, our newly weds! Congrats, I am so happy for you two and love you dearly! We had a great time taking the kids to lunch at Wasatch. They took off shopping down main street and gave us adults time together. What amazing people, I am so blessed. Funniest story, we were all sitting at the table and John kept sending Houstin text messages calling him a dork. Houstin didnt have Johns number in his phone so he had no idea it was John. Then the ultimate.....John sent Houstin a picture of himself sitting at the table....you should have seen Houstins face! Hilarious.

We are all about Christmas this year....right mom! Its all about giving and family for us this year. Mom and I are having such a good time baking cookies, spending money and decorating. We are fortunate and blessed to have so much in our lives...and each other.
