Merry Christmas!

Well we had a fun and crazy Christmas day. Matt was so excited that he woke up around 6:30am and I finally got out of bed around 7:30am. When i came down stairs I told him that we had to wait for one more family member to wake up before we could open our presents. Ya that did not last. Matt and I opened our presents to each other and then went a got Carson because he was awake. We feed him his breakfast first and then attempted to open presents with him. Matt and I finished opening our present with our main present being the Wii. Then we helped Carson open his presents. Of course being almost one he did not care about what was happening. We then ate breakfast of caramel rolls and omelets. I made breakfast while Matt was putting the Wii together. We played for a bite and then I was ready for a nap. When I woke up Matt's mom had shown up and about an hour later his dad and siblings should up (Matt's parents are divorced). Matt has a brother on a mission so we had dinner at our place while we waited for the phone call. While we were waiting for the phone call everyone played the Wii while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner. I really did not mind. It was nice to talk to Matt's brother and hear about the things he is doing. After we were done talking everyone left except Matt's mom. When they left to go home is when the big storm finally hit. I had never seen lightening while it snowed. Crazy.

I went to bed at my normal time because I had to go to work the following morning unplanned. Matt got up with me to dig out my car from the snow. The roads were really bad because they had not been plowed. Even the freeway was bad. You could not see the lines and everyone was driving 30 mph. I even saw some one spin and do a 360. It was pretty scary. Luckily I made it to work and back without any accidents. I did not go out until that night when Matt, Me, and his dad and siblings all went to the Jazz game. We had a good time and even to free Jazz blankets. The Jazz did win their game against the Dallas Mavericks. We then preceded to drive very late a night to Ogden canyon where Matt's dad had rented a condo for the week. So we spent last night there. The drive was very scary because the roads were covered in ice. The drive home today was much better.

Overall we had a fun Christmas that lasted a couple of days and it is now nice to just sit and relax. A saying that I would like to end with to help up remember what Christmas is all about is "Will you be part of the INN crowed or the STABLE few?"

Hello! I'm not sure how to type the inflection in my voice, but you get the idea! I so glad to see that you have a blog. Honestly, that's the main reason I mentioned it in my Chrsitmas letter. There are so many people that I have lost touch withand then been able to keep up with through blogging. So now I'll be able to see what's new with You. Yeah! By the way, Carson is so cute!

It sounds like you had a fun Christmas. I am really glad to hear it. Just letting you know that we finally tracked down a Mario Kart-- just you and Matt wait. A storm's a commin'! (Just kidding. I am going to practice so that I am not all that far behind in fourth place.)
