Holiday Happenings


We had a rather crazy Christmas Holiday. Susan and family and Clayton and Danielle all came and stayed at our house. It was lots of fun but wild. Especially with Gabby being sick and then Carter having his throwup session at 2am in the morning. Nothing like giving someone a bath at 2am in the morning. I still loved having everyone here. We went to childrens mass with Paul on Christmas Eve. It was so crowded and we ended sitting way in the back so it was hard to hear and tell what was going on. We gave everyone BYU sweats for their Christmas eve pjs. they are all warm and soft. I personally love mine. I think everyone else did also. I woke everyone up at 6am Christmas morning. I felt pretty good about letting them sleep so late because I wanted to wake them up earlier because I get so excited and cannot sleep because I am so impatient to give everyone their gifts. We had the traditional breakfast casserole and oranges for breakfast after opening gifts and went and visited mom and dad and then came home to play with all of our new toys. We had lots of good food on Christmas day. Mom and Dad Phillipp and pat came for dinner. Everyone seemed happy with the stuff that they received for Christmas. I love my new Zune. I have been downloading all of the cds that I have and have not even started to use any of the space. I also got two gift certificates to Barnes and Noble (totally the best gift for someone like me who absolutely cannot get enough to read). In fact I went and spent some time in Barnes and Noble to day and bought two cds - Best of Simon and Garfunkel and also Credence Gold/Credence Clearwater Revival. makayla wanted to know who both of the cds were. My age was showing and so was hers. they are awesome cds and I have already loaded them on to my Zune. I also bought three new books. I then came home and ordered two more books on line because I had some money left and also I had received an 10% discount coupon for an online order. I love getting new books. Well I have rambled on long enough. Looking forward to the New Year celebrations. Talk to all of you later. Bye now.

I liked your new slide show and I see that you added some more to your old slide show, way cute. Thanks for letting me have your old MP3 player maybe you can mail them, with the virus stuff if you ever find it. I like the new look of your blog also. You all looked very cute in your BYU Idaho pj's/sweats. Anyway I hope to see you soon, but most likely not.
Love you,
Susan
