Utah, Christmas program and party, day at museum






We have had so much going on, wow!!! it has been a couple of weeks since my last post. Last Sunday we were in Utah celebrating the Christmas season with our families. We Left early Saturday morning (Dec. 5) and drove to Logan. We had our first Christmas party with the Thatcher family. We were able to enjoy a potato bar and the kids had a fun playing with cousins. Thank you Nan and Pop for the wonderful night and the presents for the boys. (Nan, the bag worked wonderful for all my primary stuff thank you!) That night we stayed in a motel with a swim pool so the boys could play and have fun since most of the trip was spent driving. Sunday morning we woke up and drove from Logan to Utah county. Our first stop... Chris and Ashleigh's had to check on the girls since Jade had been so sick. We were able to spend about 15 mins there. One day we will be able to spend more time. Then off to my grandparents for Hansen's Christmas party. We were able to enjoy some time with grandma and grandpa before the rest of the family arrived. Grandma always cooks the best dinners so we ALWAYS enjoy eating there. We had a GREAT time at the party and watching the 4 kids dance and sing together. They are a hoot and a half. Thank you all for the fabulous Christmas... We have been able to make bugs, build legos, sing new songs, wear ponchos and watch a new show. Thank you!!!!
When all was gone from the party we hiked it to some friends whom we haven't seen since moving. Christmas was always the time of year we got together with the Peery's. We love and miss them very much. The Peery's and us go back a long, long time. Julie and I knew each other forever. Her brother and my dad were best friends. Kennen and Jeff grew up scouting together. Julie and Jeff got married and then Kennen and I got married. It was really funny but it has been an amazing friendship. They have 2 beautiful daughters, that we also love.
That night we spent it with Hansen's. Woke up bright and early and ran to Macey's (can't leave Utah without a couple of cases of beans and corn) Then we hit the road. The weather decided to snow on us the entire trip, so the roads home were rather fun.

This week we were also able to hear Robbie in his school Christmas program. They did a great job singing, playing instruments.

Our ward had their Christmas party also....good food, friends and of course SANTA.

Saturday we went to the museum with some friends. Thanks Jeannette and kids and Tanya and Jack for hanging with us for the day.

Today is also the beginning of our 12 days of Christmas....

We hope all is well with you and your families. Love you!!!
