Merry Christmas!










OK, sorry it has been so long since I have posted. We have been so busy but I know many of you are just as busy, if not more so, than we are.

So, I got a job. That is one of the reason for not posting. I work from home as a copy-editor for a marketing firm in Draper, UT. Don't ask how I got the job, it is a long story. Anyway, I LOVE it! It pays pretty good and I can do it on my own time. It is stuff I love to do. Right now I am helping to edit a book on real estate and it is really interesting. It is just perfect for our situation right now.

OK, on to the Christmas report. This year, we spent Christmas with Eric's family... in MONTANA! It was so much fun! Eric's parents rented a house just outside of Yellowstone and we spent that last week snowmobiling through some of the prettiest country I have ever seen. We spent a whole day snowmobiling through Yellowstone. It was absolutely freezing, but a ton of fun. We saw a lot of buffalo and even a glimpse of a wolf. Back to the freezing part. When we woke up that morning, it was -9 degrees outside! It warmed up a little during the day but with the wind chill factor, it felt like -29 degrees! That isn't an exaggeration either. I have never felt that cold before. Wow, it was cold, but wonderfully beautiful.

Christmas day was so fun. Logan seemed pretty oblivious to it all though. He was more interested with throwing the presents down the stairs than with opening them. His Uncle Curtis ended up opening most of his presents for him. We spent the day just eating and napping and opening presents. We had so much fun. All of Eric's brothers and sister were there so we had a great time. Eric's big present this year was a 37" flat panel TV. He opened it before we left for Montana because we couldn't fit it in the car but he loved it all the same. I think his favorite part was setting it all up. He is so cute!

We just got back last night and are in serious recuperation mode. Our kitchen is a mess and we are all exhausted. Guess you can imagine what we are doing for New Year's Eve. Going to bed early! We are all partied out!

Happy New Year Everyone!

Wow, that would be so fun! I'm glad you got to experience freezing weather. We went to Alaska a couple of years ago, and it was -32 and there's just no way to describe it until you've lived it. Happy New Year to you guys!
