Happy New Years!

For new years we had Ben and Brooke, Casey and Kristi, and Dan and Savannah over to play games. Dan and Savannah brought a game called Curses where you had certain challenge cards that you had to complete (such as beating up invisible bad guys) and then other people gave you curse cards which made it difficult to complete your challenge. Tyson's curses included having short arms so his wrists had to touch his chest at all times, no fingers so his hands had to be fisted, and he had to pretend to say everything through a cb radio with a french accent.

After that we played Partini which was really fun. The games got a little loud so we put Easton in our bedroom since it was further away. He and his chins took over our bed and loved it.

Christmas Day

We had a great Christmas this year! We woke up and did our own presents at our house first. I was so excited to get new clothes that aren't stretched out! Tyson also surprised me with a cool new phone- the Samsung Behold.

Tyson got a new suit, a fishing game, a sweatshirt, a little nightstand shelf, and a dentist appointment! (Which he actually did want)



Easton got a space heater, a window kit, and some door insulation! Yay! (Don't worry he really is spoiled)

After all of this we went to Tyson's parents' and got some more clothes and a deep freeze! Then we went to Tyson's grandparents. I got some money for jeans, Easton got a tractor and truck, and Tyson finally got a fish finder! Then we went up to my family's. From them we got money, I got a wallet, Tyson got ties, and an Italian cook book, and Easton got a book and some money for his savings account.

We are so blessed!

Christmas Eve Traditions

We went up to my parents' house in Sandy for our Christmas Eve traditions. We had a turkey dinner and then got ready for the nativity that we have to perform every year. Usually we have to draw out of a hat to see what part we have to play (last year Tyson was Mary:) but since we had the baby Jesus, Tyson and I got to be Joseph and Mary by default this year. Every one else still had to draw out of the hat and this is what we ended up with...

Collette and Katelin- the 2 Jamaican shepherds with crutches for staffs

Kelsey's boyfriend Danny- the angel (wearing one of Kelsey's prom dresses)

Kelsey, Kennedi, and Cassidy- the 3 wise women
