December 2010

I know I haven't been very good about updating my blog, but I have a really good excuse this time. My computer has been giving me fits and I couldn't upload any of my pictures so finally we got a new computer to help with this problem and the many other problems the computer was giving us...so hopefully I will be better. But I'm sure in another 4 months I will have another good excuse for being behind!!!
So I will start the update in December!!!
December was a fun month for us, Kylie was off track the whole month and Steve had 3 weeks off from work so we were able to have some fun. Steve did get pneumonia so that ruined some of his time off, but he was able to join in on the indoor activities.

Christmas Morning
I didn't take a lot of pictures on Christmas morning, so we only have a couple pictures. We had a very good Christmas, Santa brought the kids what they asked for and they even got a few surprises. We were in Utah for Christmas Eve and morning but after opening up all the fun presents we got in our truck and headed north to visit family in Idaho. And of course I forgot my camera so I don't have any pictures.

On Christmas Eve we made reservations for "The Roof "to celebrate and have some yummy dinner (yes I'm lazy and didn't want to make a big dinner so we went out). But the food was so good and It was fun to be in Temple Square Christmas Eve. After dinner we walk to Gateway and the kids were able to pick out a stuffed animal at Build a Bear, a pre-Christmas gift. Then we went home to make cookies for Santa and paint some new Christmas ornament's the kids picked out earlier in the month, and read the Christmas story. Kylie was ready to go to bed around 7:30, but we were able to talk her into staying up for a couple more hours!!!
Every year we get together with the Johnson family a couple days before Christmas. This year we celebrated at Dave and Lynnie's house. We had so much fun and ate way to much yummy food. The kids love to get together with their Johnson cousins and exchange present and play games, and of course they love getting presents from Grammy and Grandpa Johnson too!!

We took the kids skiing for the first time. We went to Alta and it was probably the worst day ever to take them skiing. The wind was blowing so hard and it was snowing like crazy, needless to say the kids haven't wanted to try it again. Hopefully they will forget about this experience next skiing season!!!
