Christmas and such...

Christmas break was a lot of fun for both of us this year.  We were able to open our home to family.  It truly meant so much that they would drive all the way to Blanding and see our home.  We stayed up all night playing games and slept until past noon.  It was a lot of fun!  I hope each Christmas live up to 2010!
At the Edge of the Cedars museum, visiting an Anasazi Kiva.  It was pretty cool inside!
 Liz, Cathy, and Dan who spent Christmas with us in Blanding!

 My mom spent Christmas with us as well.  It was so great to have her spend Christmas in Blanding with us.
 My mom went ALL OUT on her gingerbread house.  
 Liz's two small home, my "toilet-papered" home, and my mom's designer home.
 We were also able to spend a few days in Logan with Larry and Roxy. The 7 of us snuggled up in their apartment.  I felt bad for turning their routine upside down, but I enjoyed the game playing too much :) 
 Liz blowing up her air mattress.  I almost lost it from giggling too much.  
 When we got back to Blanding, we came home to way too much snow!  Our driveway was blocked in by 3 feet of ice blocks :( We spent an hour of our New Year's Eve shoveling out.  We also took down Christmas in a non-traditional way.  We parked our tree in front of the back door so that we could simply push it out the door.  It worked pretty well.  Our Christmas tree is now enjoying the sun in our back yard.  I don't know when we will truly get rid of it.
 Chris announced that he had a treat for me when I got home from work one day.  He led me to the counter and pointed to this beauty.  Apparently the extremely old pool was home to this phone for years.  When Chris and his boss were cleaning out the office, Chris picked this up from the garbage can... apparently his boss has a little more home decor sense.  We plugged it in and, thank the lord above, its too loud from the static.
 City has taken to digging through our sofa cushions while we step out of the room.  I laugh a little too long before I step in and discipline him.  I love our puppy so much!
