This is the Lego Black Pearl that Tyler gave me. It took me a long time to put together...I'm slow.
As we were taking our tree down we noticed that it had started sprouting at the top. It was pretty cool. We didn't really take any other pictures over Christmas cuz I'm bad with a camera and forget these things. But this is what went down.
First, we started on Christmas Eve. We drove down to my Grandma's house after I got off work and had the traditional dinner and cousin gift exchange. That was exciting. :) Then we drove back up to Logan to have our Christmas together. We got up at 6 AM and had all of our gifts open by 6:15. It was pretty quick. I got the Lego boat pictured above, an Aggie T-shirt, and best of all Black Diamond earrings with a matching necklace. (Yeah I have the greatest husband ever!) Tyler got a Lego Lightning Mcqueen with bonus Guido, a doctor kit (ya know prep for the future, I thought it was clever), some dinosaurs, a remote control helicopter, and the Zelda game. He got spoiled that's for sure! After a couple hours we thought we would drive down to Taylorsville (ish) to spend some time with Tyler's mom and siblings. There we got a book, collapsible mini garbage cans for the car, and knit gloves you can use with a touch screen phone (so cool!). Then we ate some breakfast and then went to church. After that we hung out for a little while then headed out to Tooele to see Tyler's dad and step mom. That was a good time too. I got a couple sweaters, and Tyler got some Hobo Gloves. After gifts we watched a movie and then just chilled the rest of the day. The next day (Monday) we went to do Christmas with my family. There we got some movies, I got a sewing machine, and Tyler got a ratchet set and some white shirts and black pants (the ones he had were from his mission and were looking pretty hammered). It was fun to see the nieces and nephews with their toys from Grandma and Grandpa. Little Dain got Mack (the semi from Cars) and carried that thing around the rest of the day. It was cute. Hunter on the other hand was sick and just laid on the floor and slept most of the day, poor guy, it was sad. All in all it was a great weekend.
As for New Years, we went to a party with some of Tyler's friends down in North Salt Lake, we played games, had food, watched a movie, and then lit a few fireworks. After those festivities we drove out to Tyler's dad's house to spend the night since his sister Charity and her husband Greg were flying in from New York the next morning. So we spent some time with them and had Christmas again! :) Four days of Christmas I'm ok with that. Anyway, they gave us both a pair of awesome slippers! They're so soft on the outside and then furry on the inside, so comfy! She also gave Tyler a subscription to a magazine. That was cool.
Now we're just hanging out waiting for next semester to start on Monday :( Not looking forward to it at all. This break has not been close to long enough...I don't want to go back yet. Oh well, ya do what ya gotta sometimes. I hope it goes well, it's not off to a very good start already...I'm still not fully registered. I'm still waitlisting one more class that I HAVE to get into or I'm stuck with nothing left to do cuz the rest of the classes require me to be declared first. Here's hoping I can get in, keep your fingers crossed!
