Monday, December 24 - Happy Christmas Eve! We were surprised with a fun announcement at Grandma Sharon and Grandpa Jim's - Katie is pregnant!!!! Yay!!!!! They have been trying for a while so we are so happy for them! We had an amazing prime rib dinner then the adults opened gifts. It was so fun to watch my family open the homemade gifts I made for them. I always love that! When we got home, we set cookies and milk out for Santa and carrots for the reindeer. Then, it was off to bed in hopes that Santa would stop by our house!

Tuesday, December 25 - Merry Christmas! We had a great Christmas this year!! Simon spoiled me (rotten) and the kids were happy with what they got. We spent the day laughing and chatting with our family and visiting with everyone. I love Christmas because I feel like you can easily feel the love of Christ surrounding you. I hope all of my friends and family had a very wonderful Christmas!
Wednesday, December 26 - These girls love twinning! They were both thrilled to open matching jammies, matching purses, and matching church dresses! I am so glad that Kendra was blessed with a sister and Nick with a brother. I just love these little faces!
Thursday, December 27 - Simon took the week off so we are having some fun. We had a good snowstorm so we (and most of Herriman) headed over to Rosecrest park for sledding fun! Ricki and I are only good in the snow for about an hour but I think Nick and Zack could have gone all day long!
Friday, December 28 - I was given a $50 gift card to MegaPlex theaters so our family went and saw "Ralph Breaks the Internet". It was super cute and I love going out and doing fun things with this crazy bunch of mine.
Saturday, December 29 - As you can see, there is a story behind this cake! Simon and I went to do some returns at Walmart last night and we ran into Regina and Steve Campbell. Zack had been invited to Eli Campbell and Max Robert's birthday party so they were there buying party favors and the cake. They asked the lady at the bakery to please write on the cake. She admitted that she wasn't "very good" at it but did it anyway. This is seriously what the cake turned out to be (top pic). When I saw that at Walmart last night, I about died! I told Reg I would bring my cake stuff to fix it in the morning. It isn't perfect (you can still see some of the red around the edges) but I think it turned out MUCH better than the before. Plus, they got a good discount so hopefully it was worth it! :)
Sunday, December 30 - I got them done! We used sparkly red card stock and my Cricut to cut out these shoes and then I sat and hot glued them together. It was quick and easy! So thankful for modern tools that make projects like this simple!
Monday, December 31 - Our fireplace tile is up! Simon does such a great job on these projects! Next up, the mantle. Tonight, we headed to my parent's for a New Year's party. I actually dropped my family off then went over to the TOSH Hospital for an MRA (like an MRI on the arteries in my brain). My neurologist wants to rule out an arterial problem as the source of my migraines. Both fortunately and unfortunately, it came back clear so it isn't that. Once I got back to the party, it was all pot-banging, junk food-eating, smooching fun!
Here is to a happy and prosperous 2019!
