Alot can be said about a holiday weekend
without your family around!
I wasn't looking forward to it,
but it actually turned out to be
a very special day for us as well!
We got to enjoy Disneyland,
it's our Anniversary also on Nov. 30th
I convinced Eric to join us all at Christmas -
Steve went 4 wheeling and camped in the snow
with David Bunting and Oscar and Juan Delgado and their boys -
I actually got to check alot of things off my list
Nativities are down for the big event
Decorating is started
Shopping is in progress, thanks to Rachel and Jon and Fia
joining me while they came to visit my folks -
We ate Indian food at Taj Ma Hall, Kyle and Stacie's favorite
Jon loves food from India since his mission to Australia.
Condor game topped the evening once Steve returned!
My favorite part of the holiday was the fact that
my kids got to spend time with their "in-laws" and
I know how much their families love them as well!
In fact, because Peter has a home in SLC, Stacie
Tyler, Heidi and Nikki all got together for a visit there!
So, I better not speak too soon. . .
because there is still a lot left to do -
But, it's not even Christmas Eve, & I have
started the wrapping - Stacie will be thankful!
The highlight of the day will be
talking to Elder Kyle Nichols
and making a wonderful video
of all of his nieces and nephews -
Be looking forward to the infamous PHOTO
on Christmas morning of the family waiting
to come downstairs - He actually picked out
the cute matching PJ's for all of the grandkids!
THE ORIGINALS :: it's a hard-knock life. the comings and goings of our wonderful kids and posterity - We know JOY! We are GRATEFUL for all that He has blessed us with! Looking forward to spending more time together in 2012!

mom - we are looking forward to spending the holidays with you two. I too can't wait to talk to Kyle. I love that he is serving with so many cousins. Yeah for family time!!!
I'm glad you enjoyed Disneyland and that you had some rare time to check things off your long list. I love making checks - even if it's: got dressed...
