We wish you a Merry Christmas!

It's hard to believe that Christmas has come and gone once again. It seems like we have been hustling and bustling since we came home from Cancun to get that last minute Christmas shopping done. But we made it and we had a wonderful holiday. Hopefully you did as well.
We started a new Christmas Eve tradition, we decided. This Christmas Eve we went to Ruths Chris Steak House in Park City. Ben has always wanted to go and after receiving a surprise bonus from his co worker in Canada, we decided now was as good a time to do it as any! We had so much fun getting all dressed up and going out for Christmas Eve.
Christmas morning usually begins around 9:30 in our home so after unwrapping gifts, we headed to my mom and dad's for food and family and more gifts!

My dad with my little nephew Zach, who is obsessed with gorillas, balls and SUPERMAN!



When did my little baby nieces grow up to be darling little ladies?? Love these girls! Granny made them scrapbook pages of when she took them downtown to Little America.
Chloe, Hannah, Natalee & Cortney

Then off to Bob and Sue's for more of the same! We were stuffed!!


I think my Ben had a little too much egg nog. ;) We got a good laugh out of this one!


Anne and Ben


It's always fun to celebrate with our families around the holidays. We are of course, so grateful for the miracle of Christmas and just like my dad says, that miracle changed our lives and our futures forever and I am so grateful!
Merry Christmas to you!

Ben and I had a wonderful Thanksgiving with his family this year. The meal was delicious and the company was even better. I love Ben's extended family and I enjoy getting to see them. Ben's little brother and his family came in from Idaho and we got to meet Emmalyn for the first time!








Thanksgiving night me, Ben and my sisters in law, Anne and Ann went to Park City to take advantage of their amazing sales! We had so much fun starting a new tradition!

There are so many things that I am grateful for. I'm especially grateful for my sweet, amazing husband and our cute families. If I could describe my life in one word, it would be "BLESSED". I know that I am and I am so grateful.

Happy Holiday Season!
