December

December was full of more sickness, but a lot of holiday fun too. Jon and I were able to go to his work Christmas party held at Log Haven resturant up Millcreek canyon. It was very fancy with a Sunday best minimum dress code. It was really fun getting all dressed up. I also learned some of the reasons why Jon loves his job so much. First of all, he has great co workers. I had fun getting to know them and I think I laughed the whole night. Second, they really care about their employees and it shows. We are really blessed that he was able to get this job.



I made Jon take a picture of me when we got home that night because we didn't have time for a picutre before we left. Thanks Em for letting me borrow the dress and thanks Denise for making the jacket.

Brooklyn really likes to play in the snow, but was born to a mom who does not. Luckily one of her Grandma's has a back yard and let her go out to play(lucky for me she took pictures).


I'm assured we will have a yard by this summer and maybe I'll brave the cold next winter and go out and play in it with her.

Christmas was wonderful. Christmas Eve we ate a very yummy dinner at Grandma Denise's and the kids opened their Christmas PJ's.

Then Christmas morning Grandma Teri and Grandma Denise came over to watch the kids open their presents. They got spoiled rotten of course.

Finally being allowed to go down stairs to see what Santa brought.



David got a tool bench, Kung Fu Panda DVD and some Little People sets. A new church outfit, some cool leaning toys, a fire truck and lots of other fun things.



Brooklyn got a doll house with furniture, people and a car. Princess dress ups, an apron and stuff to make cup cakes,. Tinkerbell panites, Tinkerbell and the lost treasure DVD and lots of other fun things.



They also had fun playing with each others new toys.

This is the best shot I have of what Jon and I got. We agreed not to get each other anything, but the grandparents spoiled us as well as the kids. My dad came and built us shelves in our garage (pictures to come later). My mom got us Gift Certificates to our favorite resturant The Pizza Pie Cafe. Denise bought me a purse and some jeans and Jon some new shoes. My Gramps & Grandma Hindmarsh gave us the cool pan on the back of the couch. We also each got a movie from Santa.

Well, that's pretty much our December in a nut shell.

New year's was pretty low key. After we put the kids to bed we went next door and played Wii at Cody and Dorothee's.
