Wonderful Visit with Mom and Stepdad!

It was WAY too short, but hey, at least I got to see my mom and stepdad during the holiday season! They arrived on the 9th and stayed until the 15th. They came up and we went Christmas shopping and out to eat. They stayed with my aunt and uncle down in Syracuse, so they had to drive back and forth. They watched the kids while Aaron and I went out to dinner for a birthday dinner for Aaron. Over the weekend, it "womped" us with snow, as the weather man likes to say! But, they drove through the canyon anyway and my mom made Aaron some homemade chili for his birthday dinner from her! He LOVED it. On the 14th, I took Connor and Carson down to Syracuse/Layton and visited with my family down there and then on the 15th, my mom came up here in the morning. We went to Callan"s school so she could say good bye and he proved to be just like his dad! His teacher brought him in from recess to say goodbye to her and told us that he could take as long as he needed, well, as soon as he saw his class mates were in the room, he turns to my mom and says "I've got to go, my teacher will get mad because I'm not in class." When we tried to tell him that she said it was ok, he wouldn't listen. So, he gave my mom a hug and then ran back into the class room! Anyway, the visit was WAY TOO SHORT, but like I said before, I'm VERY THANKFUL I got to see them at all.

Yay, A surprise!!

My mom and stepdad decided to give us an early Christmas present and come out from Georgia and visit us!!!! I am soooooo happy they are here. We have been REALLY busy getting Christmas stuff done, but hopefully tomorrow{Saturday} we will be able to visit a little bit. I'll update more later and add pics too.

Thanksgiving

We had a really nice, laid back Thanksgiving. My dad came up and Aaron and I cooked the whole big shabang. My dad brought the pies. We had a really nice time and watched "A Christmas Story". That's kind of becoming tradition is to watch that movie after we eat dinner. Anyway, we had a lot of leftovers, which I personally love! My dad enjoyed feeding Carson mashed potatoes! Callan is LOVING learning all of the stuff he does in school and explained to us all day why we celebrate Thanksgiving. I love watching his mind works and seeing his facial expressions while he explains things to you or other people. I hope you all had a very nice, memorable holiday.
