December

We have had a lot of December activities this year, so I figured I should get caught up. 

We had family pictures for my dad's side of the family and then dinner at the Call's after. The little kids made gingerbread houses, and I had fun playing with Dane the whole night. :) 

 We had a fun party at the Skeen's. We had an ugly lamp contest-- ours was the dusty one on the far right and the winner's was the Bundy's (the one with the pictures of them pulling ugly faces) We had fun playing the newlywed game, eating treats, and playing in the gym. 

We had our first ski day the day after it opened. It was a bummer that the snow was crappy, but we still made it a fun day. Rikke came with us. She is one of their exchange students that Heather and Jordan have living with them. 

We went the the Wheelwright's on Friday the 23rd and had our 'Christmas Eve'. We went caroling to the neighbors, ate a delicious dinner, had our traditional company party, and read a story. We also found out that Heather (Brad's sister) is pregnant. They have been trying for years, so we are super excited for them. Saturday we woke up and it was 'Christmas'! We opened presents, had breakfast, talked to Dallen on Skype (he's on his mission in Chille) and had a baby shower for Ben and Katie. 

 We headed straight to my Grandparents for an amazing Christmas Eve dinner and a white elephant game. Stacie made those cute penguin olives. 

 Love these darling girls!

I never thought I would enjoy having Christmas on a Sunday so much. We went to my parents Sacrament meeting and they had such a beautiful program. Then we came home to open presents and have a big breakfast. We went to my Grandparents for more presents, then came home and played some games including the history trivia, hide the pickle, and several others. 

 We had a girls day out in SLC on Tuesday to do some after Christmas shopping. It was fun to be with those girls, and I found some pretty good stuff. 

We went to the temple with my parents and Kylee and then went bowling with the rest of my family that night. 

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary! Brad surprised me and got us a room at the Anniversary Inn in Logan. Our room was the player's clubhouse. We enjoyed playing games, watching a movie and just being together. I can't believe it has already been a year, but it has been so great being married to Brad. I love him so much. 

New Years Eve was packed with activities. After our stay at the Anniversary Inn, having breakfast in bed, and playing games, we went to Rumbi Island Grill for lunch. Then we went to 'We Bought a Zoo' with my family followed by a Thanksgiving dinner made by my mom (she wanted to make one since we were not here on Thanksgiving). We then headed out to Brooke and Elgin's for treats and to watch mission impossible 2. Their dog enjoyed sleeping right in-between us. :)

We had an amazing year and cannot wait to see what 2012 brings us!
