OK. So I haven't added to this blog in a long, long time! Man, sometimes life just gets too busy. Well, so we had Thanksgiving, Chris' 28Th Birthday and Christmas and I'm just now getting around to writing about them.

So Thanksgiving was great. We spent the holiday with Chris' family. His brother and family came down from Logan, Utah and other siblings came up from the Valley. We were all together except for his brother who is on a mission, (he comes home in June or July). Anyways, it was all fun. Of course I did the "Day after Thanksgiving sales". I talked Chris into going with me this year, yeah! It was fun. We got to Kohl's at 4:00 a.m. and then proceeded to Walmart by 5:00 a.m. and then to Target by 6:00 a.m. Almost all of our Christmas shopping was completed in those 3 hours! At least for the kids. I know it's crazy that I love to do this every year, but it really is fun to me. Chris on the other hand would not tell you that he had a good time, but that he went for me. Whatever gets him there is all I care about:)

Then we had Chris'28Th Birthday. With his birthday being so close to Thanksgiving it kind of gets over looked. It wasn't exciting at all and it's partly my fault. Chris told me, like he does every year not to make a big deal, so I didn't. Really he wants me to, but I didn't figure that out until it was too late. So next year it will be better.

We also had the 4TH year mark for the death of Brittany's mom. It was a sad, but good day. We had the boys pick some flowers out and we took them up to the gave. We spent a little time just sitting up there by it and talking about her. Then we went to her favorite restaurant. We think she would have approved of it all. The kids are really starting to understand why she isn't here with us anymore. They know that she is with Heavenly Father and that we will see her again. :)

Then we had Christmas. It was a fun one this year. Trenton is really starting to figure out the real reason that we celebrate this holiday. It's really cute too. If you ask him why we celebrate Christmas he will say, " So we can return to Heavenly Father." Then you ask him why else do we celebrate it, then he'll say "Mom, it's Jesus' birthday, duh!" Anyways it's so much cuter then it sounds. Tucker still it just interested in the gifts that comes with it all. Every time he sees a Christmas tree he says "Christmas!" Again, it sounds cuter then writing it.

So all in all we've had a great holiday season. We loved every ones cards and pictures. Thank you all.
