what we've been up to...

Sunday December 19th-- my parents' 40th wedding anniversary. Girls night at Deb's. Bedtime: 3 AM

Monday December 20th-- Wedding prep. My oldest sister (with the help of her 9 siblings and spouses) did the ENTIRE wedding... food, decorations, the whole shin-dig. We set up all day. In the evening, Aaron and I took the boys downtown to Temple Square to see the lights. It was heavenly. I met up with two best college friends (Val and Kelly) for a bit of girl time. Bedtime: 2 AM

Tuesday December 21st-- Cindy's wedding in the Draper, UT temple. She looked like an angel. All ten of my parents children were in the temple together. It was a beautiful day. Sealing, luncheon, reception... party, party, party! I can't believe Cindy is married. Bedtime: Midnight

Wednesday December 22nd-- SKIING! Aaron and I took Ben and Luke on the slopes for their first skiing experience. We also had their cousin Lilly. Two adults and three kids learning to ski is not as exciting as it sounds. I asked the kids how much fun they had on a scale from 1 to 10... they all screamed "TEN!" at the same time. For the adults it was about a two. The weather was terrible, and Lilly's dad who was supposed to meet us on the mountain totaled his car on the way up to Snowbird. Crazy day! I wasn't able to make it to my friends Christmas party :( Bedtime: 3 AM.

Thursday December 23rd-- Cousins gift exchange party. Dinner and BYU basketball game with the entire family. All 33 grandchildren will be together all day! My kids are in heaven!

Friday December 24th-- Christmas Eve at my parents. Nativity with the cousins. Hopefully to bed early. I am SO excited to give my kids their present, I can hardly stand it!

I forgot to bring my camera cord, so pictures to come later. Happy Holidays to you and yours!
