A Wii bit excited!!!

I sucked at taking pictures this year!

As I said before we had a wonderful Christmas! Not only were we able to share our excitement of a new baby in our near future, but shortly after, we got a gift that we have been debating buying for a long time, but couldn't quite justify it right now. We had decided to get it for Brandon's graduation present, but My parents got it for us instead........ a.............

Wii!!! All the siblings got one and we all opened them together and started screaming when we opened the box enough to see the little W-i-i printed on the box!! I wish I would have gotten a picture of Brandon's face when he first saw it.. he was so stinkin' excited!! It was not quiet in there for quite awhile because of all the screaming of excitement! Thanks Mom and Dad!! I don't think that there has been a day since we got it that it hasn't been played! The next day we called around and found the Wii fit! I rock at the Hula Hoop and bowling, but that is pretty much it! :)

We then of course opened our ANNUAL Christmas Eve pajamas. I know that we are grown adults, but I cannot seem to go a year breaking the tradition of NOT getting pajamas!! I can't stand to be left out! I cannot tell you how many pair of BLUE pajama bottoms that Brandon has! Well, one for each Christmas we have had together, so that makes..... 6! He won't wear any different. I seriously debated wrapping up an old pair, but couldn't do it!! :)

Christmas morning we slept in and had breakfast after waiting for lovely Perry power to come back on. We got a late start opening gifts ( 10:30ish). This is the latest I think I have ever opened gifts!

our gifts to each other...


That night we headed into the Goldsberry's for the Goldsberry get together. Everyone had to leave early because of the crazy amount of snow that was coming down, but it was still so much fun to have everyone together! What a fun family that I am blessed to be married into! I know that this is super lame, but I have NO pictures! Everything is on our camcorder!

We stayed in Brigham the whole weekend.. went sledding, to the movies, played the Wii (note to all those Wii players out there: always wear the strap on your wrist when holding the remote!), hung out, ate, laughed, and had fun. Saturday morning we finally decided it was time to come home and sleep in our own bed, but it is so nice to not have to be anywhere or go anywhere!


We had such a great Christmas and we we so glad that we chose to keep it simple! We both became so much closer to Christ and it was easier to serve others not being caught up in the madness! It wasn't as awful as I originally thought it would be, it turned out to be one of the best I have had! I was able to be with the ones I love and that is all that matters!
