Christmas Night 2009
Jarod, Jamie, and Lilli came over to eat with us that night. It was also Jarod's birthday so we had us a little cake, a little wish making, and a feeble attempt at blowing out the candles. It was a nice night in our cozy home with people we love-the perfect Christmas.

Christmas Eve
Not only did Santa get his usual cookies and milk, he also got a survey to fill out that Mick made and a letter from Tori telling him how much she loves him. Mick's survey was asking if he and Tori had been good, inbetween, or bad.
Apparently they had been very good because Santa didn't leave coal but a whole load of other stuff.

My Little Reindeer
Tori's preschool put on an awesome Christmas Program this year. She worked very hard to remember her part and to sing all the songs. I am so happy to be able to be a mom and get to be part of all this excitement that the kids have for this time of year.

My Birthday
No pictures AGAIN, but yesterday was my birthday and I just wanted to journal it so I don't forget down the road how much I enjoyed it.
I started the day off with a couple hours at the gym and I felt better than usual and had a really good work-out. Great way to start the day!
My kids were extra sweet to me all day, writing me little notes and wrapping little things out of their rooms up for me to open, and giving me lots of hugs and kisses.
I had lots of calls and emails and Facebook messages and treats delivered during the day from my most wonderful family and friends.
Adam got home pretty early and took me and the kids to dinner at Magleby's. I knew something was up cause the kids were so wound up during dinner. When we got home from dinner, I had some friends waiting in the dark to surprise me. It was so fun.
I am thankful for this beautiful life I've been given and all the wonderful people who have been so kind to me and made it even richer than it would have been otherwise. Cheers to another great year!

Thanksgiving weekend
I am mad at myself for not using my camera all Thanksgiving weekend, but at least I can steal pictures off my mother-in-law's blog. She is never without her camera, thank goodness.
We had two enjoyable Turkey dinners on Thanksgiving, one at Adam's grandma's, and one at my brother's. Regretably, I haven't got a single picture of this day. Also, regretably, I DO have a few extra pounds to show for it.
Then the next day, I went shopping with my mom (at a normal reasonable time) and had such a good time with her. Adam and the kids went to his parents house to "help" put up Christmas lights and I met up with them later. Did some MORE shopping with Bev and Jamie. But we were very thrifty and only bought 4 homemade caramels during the whole 2 hours we shopped.
Later that evening, we experienced some of Vernal's Christmas activities that were hosted around town. Everything was free and there was a lot to do. We watched the light parade, toured the Festival of the Trees, and let the kids do a few activities at a carnival-type function.
The next day we headed home early enough to put up our tree and decorations. It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!
