Christmas 2008







Well, so I'm definitely a slacker. I can't believe I haven't posted our Christmas pictures yet. We had a great time here in Vermont. On Christmas Eve we went over to the other counselor in the bishopric's house and the kids went sledding. They had a blast! That night they opened one gift, their PJs! Even Pedro got some! Then Christmas morning was spent at home, nice and relaxing. Christmas afternoon we headed to Danielle's house and hung out with some of her family for the afternoon. It was really nice and of course there was lots of yummy food.

For New Year's Eve we went over to our friend's the Smith's house. The kids played and played and the adults hung out and played games, in between eating that is! Then New Year's Day we spent the morning home. We had a southern lunch of fried chicken, collard greens, mashed potatoes, etc. I couldn't find any black eyed peas here! The collard greens were frozen too, that's all they had here. I guess that's OK with me, since those aren't my favorites! Then that afternoon we went to the RS President's house and ate more yummy food there! Her husband is a chef and so there is always good food!!!!! After that, we took a long breath! It was a fun couple of days, but also busy. We wished we could have seen family, but it sounds like everyone had a good holiday season. I hope everyone's New Year has started off good...
