Merry Christmas & More...

We had a wonderful Christmas, and hope all of you did as well. On Christmas Eve we stuck to our tradition and gave the boys new p.j.'s and an ornament. Bronson loved his new jammies and spiderman slippers, he even declared Christmas as "Christmas Jammy Day" and he wore his pajamas the entire day. It was quite funny. It was so much fun to see Bronson's reaction on Christmas morning, he was so excited and he couldn't believe that Santa had brought him the toys he asked for. Christmas is fun when you are a kid, but I definitely think it is more fun when you have kids! After opening presents we went to Dave's parents house in Riverton for breakfast. The weather didn't seem too bad at our house so we thought we would brave the snow. Little did we know that the further south we went the worse it would get. Luckily we made it there safe and sound. Dave's sister measured the snow as we were getting ready to leave and they had received 15 inches - holy cow! We were nervous to leave and even more nervous to drive after we got stuck just getting out of the driveway and his family had to push us all the way through the neighborhood. Lucky for us the closer we got to home the less snow there was. That evening we went to my brother's house for a delicious dinner. Once again when we left it was a blizzard. We got home safely, but found that our power was out. It was time for the boys to go to bed so we bundled them up pretty warm since our heater wasn't working. I was extremely grateful when the power came on the next morning at 7:00am. Our thermostat was down to 53, so it was a bit chilly. Luckily our house heated back up really fast. Even though we had a few carzy moments the day was wonderful and very memorable. I am sad to see the Christmas season over - so is Bronson, he has already asked me how many days until its Christmas next year.

Here is Bronson showing us his "Mator Monster" - this is the one toy he really wanted Santa to bring. So he was very happy when he unwrapped it.

Cade got some presents too, but of course he cared more about the paper and bows.

This is a picture Dave's dad took of their family pushing us out of the neighborhood. We really need to invest in 4 wheel drive!

Dave was cursed by being born the day after Christmas, and spent much of the morning shoveling the snow. I know your asking why didn't I get my lazy butt out there and do it since it was his b-day, but I am honestly a wuss and can't lift that much snow. I would probably still be out there now trying to get our small driveway cleared. I made up for it that nigh by taking him on a date (which doesn't happen often.) We went and saw Valkyrie and ate dinner at Thiafoon. It was nice just to be alone for a little bit and have some adult conversation. Happy 29th birthday Dave - you're the best!

Bronson thinks the snow is the best thing ever, and he also thinks its a meal. He has to find some to eat wherever we go.


The snow is pretty and all, but enough is enough. Is it Spring yet?
