new years eve

Kevin had to work bright and early at the crack of five AM on New Years Day so we decided to not do much. We did however want to visit Grace. So we headed over there and ended up staying all night! Poor Kevin was so tired the next day but it was worth it. Denice, Sydney, Gretchen, Julia, Lisa, Mitch, Blaine, Dolly and Dee ended up coming too! Lisa even brought Bingo with prizes. Cole thought it was so fun and he had his best buddy, Dee, next to him for help. We brought Coles new hunting game and of course I can't ring in the New Year with some good ol sparkling cider. We had such a fun night hanging out and ringing in the New Year! GOODBYE 2010 and lets hope for an amazing 2011!

temple square

We hadn't gotten a chance to make it temple square before Christmas so we went a few days after. I love seeing all the lights and showing them to Cole. I really just love this time of year!

christmas day at graces

Our first stop on Christmas Day was at Grace's. We opened presents, hung out, ate and had a great time. Everyone was thrilled by their present from Grace, we ALL got vacation PIGS! Too bad we didn't get a picture of everyone and their pigs all lined up. I know in our house its now a fight who gets the change to put in our pigs! Thanks Grace!

christmas eve with the petersons

Christmas Eve dinner at my parents house with the Peterson's is always one of my favorite meals of the year. Prime rib, potatoes, rolls, salads and yummy desserts. The night also included opening presents from cousins, opening and taking pictures of jammies from grandma and grandpa, obligatory family pictures, a surprise visit from Santa, and a french silk pie for my birthday!
