Merry Christmas!!

We sat on Santa's lap for about .01 seconds. Maybe next year.
Hope everyone has a great Christmas!

You know we look hot in these sweaters.

So this past weeks Christmas festivities consisted of an "ugly sweater" party at the Perkins. It was hillarious to see everyone in their best sweaters. Jord looked like Bill Cosby, mine had shoulder pads, and even Tate's was awesome.

Here's all of us taking our turns on Rock Band. Jord did an amazing rendition of the Killers, and I was just trying not to screw up too bad.We had a great time eating, talking, and chasing around 8 kids under the age of 3. Thanks Brynn and Steve for the great night.

Then Friday I DESPERATELY needed a night away with my mom, dad and sisters. We went to dinner and walked around gateway-it was freezing, but really fun. I love that when I need to get away I can always call them for a good time.

Stay tuned for next weeks festivities....(I know you can't wait).

Wheeler Farm

All the years when I was growing up, the whole month of December was fun-not just Christmas day. We made cookies, went to see Santa, went to temple square to see the lights, walked to the decorated ZCMI windows downtown (remember those?), etc. And even though Tate is still too young to even understand any of it, I want to do those same things with him. So last night we started out this season by going to Wheeler Farm to see the lights. Meg and the girls came with us, and it was super fun just to walk around. Side note if your going: do what we did and walk around yourself, nobody else does it. We weren't about to pay the $5.00 a person just to ride the tractor and get a cup of hot chocolate--I can make my own at home for free.
Tate was so bundled up he looked like Randy from A Christmas Story...."I can't put my arms down!"....
