Our Christmas Morning Experience

We had a great Christmas together with our family. For the first time in two years, we had the whole family together. We truely are blessed.

SNC Music

Merry Christmas everyone.  Last night while out visiting with some friends, they showed me a video that I think you will like.  It is performed by an acapella group named "Straight No Chaser" and is a rather unique rendition of the old Christmas favorite "The 12 Days of Christmas."  Check it out below but first pause the background music at the bottom of this blog.

Straight No Chaser - 12 Days of Christmas

The week of Christmas

Well, it is just about time for Christmas and I thought I would tell everyone Merry Christmas. We did not get our cards ready this time, so hope you all have a great Christmas. Things have been pretty busy, getting Brett home, buying new clothes for him and trying to get him ready for school on top of Christmas shopping, oh and working too. So I have not even had time to bake goodies this year. We went down to Provo and Orem on Sunday morning and had dinner with Grandma and Grandpa J. It was crazy to have everyone there, but the food was good and so was the company. We opened "White Elephant" gifts and the first gift I got was Nose hair trimmers. I don't think I really wanted those. Thanks Brant for taking them off my hands. I hope you enjoy them. I have pictures from the party, but Stephen took them so I will try to get some posted later. Then we went to Grandma and Grandpa H. and had dessert. Great cake recipe, thanks Pam. We all love the death-by-chocolate bundt cake. It was a great time and we all enjoyed the visit. Now on to the rest of the week. Christmas Eve at Keli's house and Christmas day at our home. More to follow on the fun we will have. Merry Christmas to everyone.

Family update

Well, it has been a long two years and it has finally come to an end Brett came home last night. We were all so excited to be at the airport to pick him up. It was really crazy and quite hectic for all at the airport, but there was so much excitement that who cared how chaotic it was. It took for ever to get the luggage, but finally we were on our way home. It was so nice to have almost all our family there. Unfortunately Adam was unable to attend due to school (we missed you Adam), but is was fun anyway. On to dinner and lot of pizza. We ran into the missionaries in our area and invited them to join our noisy group. Fun was had by all. Today we spent time at the mall trying to re-outfit Brett with some new clothes. I am sure there will be many more days spent at the mall. But for now welcome home to Brett!!!!
