How Much Can I Fit Into One Post?!

Wow, it has been really busy this month so I have lots to post about! First off, we had my work Holiday Party which is always fun because I work with the best girls ever! We went to a country club in Draper where we had some yummy dinner and then our bosses gave us all gag gifts. They put a lot of thought into the gifts and got the perfect gag gift for every employee, it was really funny. Then they had a hypnotist which was the highlight of the evening! Our good friend Sierra decided to go up and be hypnotized and it was so freaking hilarious...she stole the show!!

Then, a few weeks ago Tiffany hosted a birthday party at her house for me. A few friends came over and we played some pool and had some yummy drinks! The kids danced around to the music and we had a good time! Thanks Tiffany for being such a wonderful friend to me! And thanks to everyone that came, I love you all!

The next week was Madison's Christmas Recital at school. She loved singing up on the stage and looked so darn cute! Then Corbin's birthday party was on Friday so we went to my Dad's house and had some pizza, cake and ice cream! It was fun watching him open his presents and the kids love to play together...as always! Then last Tuesday was my actual birthday so we decided to go out to dinner with a few friends and then came back to my place to hang out for a while. I am so grateful to have such awesome friends and family! Of course, Christmas followed just two short days later. We got the kids up at 6:30 which was harder than I thought it would be. They wanted to just sleep on, but we kept telling them that Santa had come and to go check it out! Finally Madi got up and went into the living room with Ethan right on her heels. We opened presents and then headed over to my Dad's to open presents with them and with Alecia and the boys. The kids sure made out with some great presents as did we! Then, after the power went out and came back on, we made a big breakfast which was so good after having to wait for the power! That made me realize how much we rely on power for so many things, but luckily it was only out for about an hour. After breakfast, we went over to Dylan's parents and opened presents with them and had some lunch. It was a good Christmas and a very busy month! I haven't done very much this weekend, trying to recover!! Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas too! These pics are from my Birthday Dinner, Madi's recital and Christmas:

Lights, lights and Rock Band!

Last night we decided to take a trip downtown to check out the lights at Temple Square. We got the kids all bundled up and headed out along with Alecia, Corbin, Caden, Grandpa and Grandma. The traffic to get downtown was just HORRIBLE! I think everyone decided to go downtown last night, it was crazy. So it took us over an hour to drive downtown and find a place to park. Then we walked about 4 blocks to temple square where we had to STAND IN LINE to look at the lights because it was just so crowded. Even though it was crowded, we did have fun and I think the kids enjoyed the chance to hang out together and look at the pretty lights!

After the lights, we went over to Jason and Ashley's house to hang out. Unfortunately Ashley wasn't home, but the kids had fun playing with Kayden and Jason. We played rock band while the kids pretty much danced their hearts out and attempted to sing along! Once it was late, and Ethan was very tired, we layed him down and put a movie on for the girls. Then Jason, Dylan and I played an intense game of scrabble!! The winner was debatable although we all know Dylan took the prize. Ashley got home just before we left so it was nice to see her for a bit. We were so tired so we headed home and called it a night...even though it was technically morning! I am pretty tired today from staying up so late, cause y'all know I am not much of a night owl but it was worth it!
