The Holy Moly Holidays!

HOLY MOLY! The holidays are over!!! Can you tell I am not in the least bit sad? Don't get me wrong, I LOVE that time of year, but if you know me very well, you know I love structure, order and a schedule. The holidays messes with ALL OF IT! Therefore, the house and myself are completely in shambles during it all! Rich and I tore the tree down and any Christmas decor we could find the Sunday after Christmas. I had about enough of it! I love the Christmas decor...when it's Christmas. After Christmas, it just looks cluttery.

WOW, I feel so much better getting that one off my chest! Thank you!

Anyhoo, the Holidays brought lots and lots of fun to us. Here are some pics showing what we did!

We made Tortilla Snowflakes! We got this cute idea from the "Friend." They are soooo yummy!

Our family got the opportunity to give talks in Sacrament Meeting during the holidays! We were asked to speak on the Savior. It was an awesome experience and I am so grateful for it. The kids did sooooooooo well! They worked very hard to prepare for their big day! You can tell they have a few jitters in these pics...these were taken the day of the talks! Don't they look just adorable in their Christmas outfits?

Oooo, he's just so darn handsome!

Look at these Beauty Queens!

The Blogger Clogger Mom's First Clogging Recital!

Ok, I was a lot more nervous for this thing that I thought I would be! But, I still had a great time. Sorry about the pics...our camera STINKS!

We visited my family in Utah the weekend before Christmas. We celebrated Christmas and my mom's b-day too. We even played 'Reindeer Games!' The girls got our butts kicked again by the boys! Happens every year! The boys sure know how to stuff those panty hose with ballons, I tell ya! Please note that I took these pics with our video camera which is great for video taking, but not for picture taking...so sorry for the blurriness!

What are those glasses doing on that cute girl? What a goof ball!

We also took the kids to Temple Square and went through one of the visitor centers. They seemed to enjoy it quite a bit! It was such a beautiful night.

The kids spent Christmas with their Mom (Janet) this year. So, Rich and I went over to Janet's Christmas morning to watch them open their gifts! It was a good time. Then they came to our home later that afternoon to eat Christmas Dinner and play with their new toys. Look at all of their darn loot! GEESH!

2 YEAR ANNIVERSARY! YEAH!

Two years ago December 28th, I married the man of my dreams! To celebrate, we went to a nice hotel in Idaho Falls and stayed in a King Mezzanine Suite for 2 nights...our real celebration will be in Cancun the end of this month! WOO-HOO!!!!

I love Richard...he truly is the man of my dreams and makes me the happiest girl in the whole world. Thanks for TWO AWESOME YEARS, sweet-pea!

I love love these wedding pictures! We have several serious ones, but these particular pics show exactly how I feel about him. PURE HAPPINESS!

This is a pic from the hotel. Man, we have tired eyes!

Then we celebrated the New Year with the kids. We all stayed up past midnight! I couldn't believe the kids stayed up too! We had a great time playing our new Wii game (Outdoor Challenge), eating tons and tons of junk food, watching Dick Clarks count down and popping our poppers at midnight and toasting to 2009 with Cherry 7-Up!

And last but not least, we took a trip to Salmon! We opened presents from Gramma and Grampa...

Made Breakfast Bears out of rolls...

...Went Rabbit Hunting (Bunny Blastin'). Yes, I did shoot at a few rabbits with my .22 but never shot one. Darn it! Rich shot several...

...And spent time with family! FUN FUN!


Well, that about sums up our Holiday! It was such a good time! Thanks everyone and I wish you all the happiest of happy 2009!

Love ya!
