Time for an update I think...

Well this year we had Thanksgiving with my in-laws. Matt's brother Doug and sister Pam came into town and we had a blast playing with all the cousins. Cousin Ty and Kenzi became instant best friends again. It takes them a while to warm up to each other but when they do, INSTANT best friends. They had a sleepover a few nights before Thanksgiving and just had a blast.
This is Thanksgiving Day and the best picture I have. I didn't take pictures at the dinner table with my camera but I will try and get copies of those pictures. This is after dinner and Connie and Sherman will most of their grandkids. Only Steve's kids are missing.

It is always great to see family. Especially Matt's side since all of them live out of town. So that is why we weren't able to go to St. George for Thanksgiving if any of you were wondering.

I had thought I'd done so good with Christmas shopping. I started the day after Thanksgiving but of course I didn't count on last minute emergencies. I shall know better for next year and will be more prepared. Christmas was really a blast this year as well. Surprisingly we didn't start until around 8 or 8:30am. It was fantastic....Except for the rudely awakening we got at 3am because our neighbors decided to BLAST their music for an hour. At least it was enough to wake Matt up. When I was younger I'd play music to fall asleep so it didn't bother me as much as Matt. It was just the fact that it was so early in the morning. So we did do something about it. And it hasn't happened for a while but it will....guaranteed it will.

Christmas morning was still really fun. Santa was really nice this year. Although, as soon as my girls opened their presents they started fighting over them. But such is life. It was probably around 9am when my mom stopped by to give us their presents for us. I have yet to take pictures of my living room. Although I have yet to take Christmas pictures off my camera. SO that will be next post of pictures. I know I'm a little late in saying this but Merry Christmas everyone. Hope it was as good as ours. And Happy New Years tomorrow!!! =)

The Best....

This blog will be short today. I haven't been in a blogging mood and nothing particularly exciting has happened. My girls are back in school from break. I'm not sure who's more excited me or them. And I started Christmas shopping before Thanksgiving so now I am all done. The only thing I need to get now are stocking stuffers. Not too hard. =) I'm so good at this game.

Anyway, back to my original reason of writing. I've been reading these vampire books that are just amazing. No, it's not the Twilight series and yes, there are MUCH better vampire books than Twilight. The first book is called, A Quick Bite. They are by Lynsay Sands. There are 10 books in the series and I'm on book 3. I did take a break from them for a while because I had to pack and move into my house. So now I am back reading them and I just love them. The absolute best part of these vampire books are....THEY DON'T GLISTEN IN THE SUN!!!! If you'd like to know more about them I will be glad to tell you. =)
