Dahl, Natalie and David
Today I got together with 2 of my best friends from home, Jeni and Stacey and their husbands and kids. It was so much fun to see them again. I miss them alot. They all came over and we just hung out for awhile, It is fun to see everyone's kids. We missed you Joma. Hopefully we can see you this trip.
David and Big David sledding outside of our house. Not much snow, but they had fun
Christmas eve, the girls
Christmas morning, David seeing his new trainset that Santa brought..... he loved it.
Lovely family picture...
We had a wonderful Christmas. David loved his trainset and had fun opening his stuff. We all got spoiled this year. It's sad to think that Christmas is over already.
David's favorite PJ's, notice the movie he found that matches the bug jammies.
Sadie's smiles are the best, if I just look at her, I am greeted with this adorable little grin...
We are so excited for Christmas. I still have to finish David's shopping, I need to get into Toys R US one of these days. Mike is still working and is coming home frozen every night, what a hard worker. He is looking forward to relaxing in Calgary, eating good food, and going to the hot springs in Banff... It is still freezing here, we stay inside most of the time. David and I have gotten creative when it comes to keeping busy, his new favorite is to build forts and play hide and seek. (A game that doesn't last too long, his giggles give him away pretty fast)
This weekend we took a trip to Utah. We left on Saturday and went up to a mountain condo. We had a great time relaxing and getting away from Rexburg for a few days. On Sunday we drove to Salt Lake to look at the beautiful lights at temple square. I had never seen them before and they were amazing. It was freezing cold though... On Monday we went shopping and surprisingly we got alot done even though we did have Sadie and David. They were great shoppers. I am really looking forward to the 10 hour drive home to Calgary with them... just kidding. I think we are going to break the trip up in 2 days, and hopefully they will sleep alot of the way. We returned to alot of snow in Rexburg and chilly temperatures. Today will be a quiet day of cleaning and doing laundry and staying inside.
This week has flown by, I can't believe Christmas is three weeks away! Yesterday I had the brilliant idea of taking a family trip into Idaho Falls to do some Christmas shopping and see Santa. Well with only 1 mall within a 100 mile radius you can imagine how busy it would be on a Saturday before Christmas. And also you can imagine how much fun it is to shop with a 2 year old.... It was comical however. We managed to buy 1 present, I am going to do the rest of my shopping online. We did see Santa as you can see from the photo. David was so excited to see him, until he got close, and then freaked out. So Mike and I got to be in the picture.... Sadie certainly enjoyed sitting on Santa's lap, she loved all that beard hair to play with and grab!
