Christmas

Christmas this year was with my family. We were there for about a week and got to see everyone in the family. We played games, ate good food, went light looking, and relaxed. The girls wanted one thing above everything else: a unicorn pillow pet. They were so excited that they both got one. What can I say, Santa is good. Santa also brought another pair of PJ's besides their Christmas Eve ones. MJ commented that she was glad Santa got our note saying we weren't at our home but at grandma's and he must have known mommy didn't pack any pj's for the trip and that is why he left another pair for them. It was funny. She still believes in Santa but you can see some doubt in some of her comments. The girls both loved watching where Santa was on the Internet. When he got to the US we decided it was bed time so we would be asleep when he came. It was great.

Lots of good food. This is where my brother is a lot: in the kitchen.

Taking a horsey ride on Uncle Ne is mandatory every time we visit.

The drive home was intense. It took us about 4 hours instead of 3 to get home. The WY roads were not very good, but as soon as we hit the UT border things looked much better. However, we got home to a snowed in driveway. So we dropped the girls off in the house, RB got to work shoveling, and I went and did some needed grocery shopping. When I got back RB had it cleared enough so I could pull in. He has such a sore back today but he did a great job getting it all cleared.

It feels good to be home today. Christmas is coming down and hopefully the unpacking will get done too. Hope Christmas was good for everyone, and have a great New Year!
