Christmas and New Years

Merry Christmas!! We were able to go down to Utah for Christmas to visit my family. We were supposed to fly out Christmas day because I had to work until 3 on Christmas Eve. We had been planning to drive but were worried about the weather so we got a flight just in case. Anyway it ended up working out that we were able to drive so Justin picked me up right after work and we left. We were blessed to get going ahead of the storm that was coming in and we only hit one patch of pretty nasty road. My family was pretty excited...and my mom had been pretty worried because the weather Christmas day was supposed to be pretty UGLY!! We got to my parents house and they already had about a foot and a half of snow...we got another 6-8 inches that night. Luckily they didn't have to go anywhere for Christmas day! We only got two pictures of Christmas morning?? You don't get to see one of them because I am in it and look like poo.

Dexter under my parent's tree...he jumped in the pile for a
wadded up ball of paper and couldn't get out.


We kept Christmas really simple and inexpensive this year. I hate to say it but I was pretty upset about it at first because Justin and I decided not to get each other anything this year. BUT, we were able to give presents to the rest of our family and that was pretty fun cause we are AWESOME and found some pretty cool stuff (well really Justin is awesome and can find anything online for a ridiculously low price). It's amazing what you can do with a few dollars and a little bit of Christmas love!!

And HAPPY NEW YEAR! Our New Years was fun too, we were able to go to our friend's house for some food, games and movies...we stayed until 2. I am still tired.

Sounds like a fun Christmas! It is always great when you can spend it with family (usually!). I wish you'd post pictures of yourself, I'm not believing you look like poo :) Happy New Year! I have a feeling you'll love 2009!

I know this is late, but congrats on your baby being a girl! Girls are dangerous....I turned into a shop-a-holic because baby girls clothes are SO CUTE. Kate has more clothes than me! Anyway, you work in a baby boutique? Perfect job!!!
