We had a fabulous Thanksgiving. We went home (to Blackfoot) and was able to spend time with our friends and family. I even was able to squeeze in a jewelry party within the 4 full days we were there. Mom, Kayla, my cousin Jenny and I went shopping the day after Thanksgiving. We weren't crazy and up waiting in lines and all that, but we did go to the Blackfoot Walmart at 5am and we pulled in to find an empty parking lot. Talk about blissful shopping, no standing in lines or watching people fight over items.
It was so much fun to go home and see everyone. To those we didn't get to see we will be home again soon. Plus I plan on coming home a lot this summer.
Christmas and New Years- OH Christmas was amazing. I will admit I was super emotional Christmas Eve for the last 28 years I have always spent Christmas Eve at my Grandma B's, just hanging out and having delicious snacks. Then when Wade and I got married Christmas eve was always spent an hour or two at my Grandma's and then the rest of the evening with Wade's mom Nicki. Her birthday is Christmas Eve so we always have a get together with his sisters and his step siblings. It is ALWAYS mass chaos but so much fun. Nicki and Gary always give the kids a present to open that night. The kids always love getting new PJ's and by Christmas Eve my girls are ALWAYS in desperate need for new ones. Anyhow this year we decided that instead of traveling to Idaho we would spend Christmas with just our cute little family. The girls opened their presents from Gama Nicki and Poppa Gary. Christmas Morning was so much fun, I am not sure if it was fun because Wade and I were excited for the girls or if the thought of cooking our own dinner and not having to go ANYWHERE was exciting. None the less we had so much fun and despite me missing seeing my family Christmas day and my Grandma's delicious dinner. We survived and are looking forward to many more Christmas Days 2011.
