Chrismas

Another Christmas is over so quickly! We had a great Christmas, all the kids seemed to be happy. I think Taylor was really thinking this would be the year that Santa would save her from being "the only person in the WHOLE junior high without a cell phone," but alas, Santa failed her yet again. I kept warning her that there would be no cell phone, but I think she thought I was kidding. She did get a new digital camera, and I'm hoping that softened the blow a little bit. Addie was thrilled to pieces with her new Hannah Montana slippers, because she felt like she was now too big for Dora slippers. We got a fun new game for the Wii. It's called "Outdoor Adventures" and you play it with a pad, kind of like a DDR pad, but it has more arrows. It's a pretty fun game. We also got Lego Batman and Guitar Hero for the PS2, so poor Jack is so overwhelmed he doesn't even know where to begin! Too many games!! We had my parents, Lane's grandma and Jesse and Kassie (my niece and her husband) here for Christmas Eve, and that was fun to have such a large crowd. Lane cooked up a turkey for dinner and we watched the Red Ryder BB Gun movie, opened presents and played Wii. Christmas morning we opened presents and lazed around all day. We got a little more snow, not a lot. Apparently the predicted Christmas Day storm hit Salt Lake hard, and parts of Utah county hard, but somehow skipped right over PG. Doesn't matter - we get stuck at the bottom of the driveway everytime we leave the house. Lane has started a fire for me almost every day, and not once has he burned up anything! My friend Jennifer gave us some extra Christmas stockings, with a warning that they WILL BURN if they come into contact with fire. Luckily, Lane has a good sense of humor about it, and we have all had a good laugh.
