Merry Christmas!

On Saturday, the 20th we went to my Grandma Hunsaker's annual Christmas party. We went to her house...saw Santa...played a couple of games...then headed to Maddox for dinner. It's always fun to get together and see everyone and how they have changed/grown/shrunk/hair updates/girlfriends/boyfriends...all in all a great update to everyone and their happenings. The weather was pretty crappy that day but I haven't heard any bad news - so I'm assuming everyone made it home safely. Good deal!

On Christmas Eve Casey & I do the every other year thing. It was his family's year - and we always go to his Grandma's house in Mantua. His grandma has a fun old house that is fun to see. I think light switches are non existent there. It would be a fun house to own. We visited and ate dinner & then went home. We skipped out a bit early because it was Caleb's bedtime and Casey is a slacker & needed to wrap presents still. Caleb & I cuddled on the couch & watched Santa Claus the movie...it's old, but I really like it still. I only have it on VHS - I should probably search for an updated version.

What a crappy weather day!

10 AM - just a scuff of snow in Brigham City & we're supposed to be in Tremonton at 11 for brunch with Casey's family. We got a call from my mom & Casey's mom saying that the weather was just HORRID in Tremonton...but really...mom's over exaggerate! (just kidding...kind of) and since the weather in Brigham was pretty mild...we loaded the car with food, presents & over night stuff - just in case.

11:25 AM - finally get to Tremonton. Our mom's didn't lie. The weather was awful. Cars everywhere off of the freeway...plows hadn't made the rounds for quite a while...wind blown drifts everywhere. We get to the turn off to Casey's brother's house for brunch and Casey gets this burst of testosterone & says "This is stupid. We shouldn't have came. We're going home." WHAT?!?! We are already here! We couldn't have gone down the road to his brother's with the 8 inches of snow on the road...we just have the low ridin' grand prix. So he starts to drive through town to get us to the freeway again......common sense FLEW out the window. We had packed over night bags...so WHY go all the way back home? Whatever...he had his moment & we went home.

12:30 - finally get back home. Weather in Brigham...NOTHING. BUT - now (10 PM) it is a windy blizzard out there. So I flipped through the TV all day & ate to much candy while Casey played his new Play Station game....fun stuff.

We will be celebrating with my side of the family on Sunday...a little late, but I think Christmas should be longer than one day anyway. I hope that everyone had a VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS.

I am glad you had a nice holiday! Yes the weather here in Tremonton sucked! First time ever I didn't see my parents on Christmas day. We always stay home on Christmas and my parents come here but due to the weather they stayed home. DANG IT! Glad you made it home safely though! Kids are so fun this time of year!

Bingo on the no light switches. Mom's house was the first house in Mantua with running water. It really is old. I love all the pictures that you posted on your blog. You really are a good photographer. That's quite the get up Casey has on. I'm sure he thought he was in heaven. LOL
