Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year!!! Shad and I have a couple of traditions we have on Christmas Eve. We go shopping for each other and go see the Festival of Lights in Spanish Fork. We had a lot of fun this year. Shad got off work early, luckily he has a good boss...hehe :) and we went to Cabella's. The only thing I really wanted was a good pair of snow boots (which I was able to find and I love them) and Shad wanted a nice coat (we found him a nice big puffy vest...his first one!). I think Brinley had a good time seeing all of the exhibits and animals. Shad smoked me on the shooting game. I did better than I probably would have done on the other shooting range game they have. The Festival of Lights was so enjoyable this year. Brinley kept saying WOW at all the lights! I honestly didn't want to leave. I could have gone around and around all night. We had a yummy dinner of ham, funeral potatoes, rolls, salad and pie! That night Brinley woke up screaming at 1:30 am and didn't go back to bed until around 5:30 am. She has been teething again and has also come down with another cold :( I think she might have had a night-tare and just couldn't calm down. Shad went back to bed around 3:30 am and didn't know I was up with her all night until the next morning. He needed his sleep so I am glad he slept. Christmas morning was good. Brinley was a little too spoiled. She just kept going through her presents expecting more. I was disappointed by her reaction. She is usually very excited for whatever she receives and is grateful. She got a princess coupe care from Santa and loves it!! I have videos of all the other stuff she received, but I have a hard time downloading them from the camcorder they are on so here is what I have. We went up to the Kohler's and spent sometime with them. It was a lot of fun. I was also able to talk to my brother, Hyrum who is on a mission in Alaska. It was so good to hear his voice. I can't believe he is going to be home in a couple months!! We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!!!
