Post christmas

We had a great Christmas, we really did. It started with a ski trip to Utah and ended with Brent back to work and me left with a house full of kids, even kids I don't own or recognize, and a huge pile of mess. I guess I will just jump right on into it and let you know some of our highlights.

Skied 4 days in Utah, the last day the Binghams met up with us and we had a great time with them.

Lauren sprained her wrist on the first run of the season, we had the ski patrol wrap her wrist and he told me he highly recommended her not skiing anymore and I laughed in his face and said, "wrap it up tight buddy, this trip cost me a lot of money!"

Brent didn't fall off the ski lift this year, bummer, good times when he does!!!

Ashlen spilled an entire Soda into my new Coach purse on the airplane. I won the purse at a raffle for Laurens volleyball fundraiser, I guess I really only spent 10 dollars on it but still, not fun and everything is still sticky.

We stayed at the Grand American hotel one night while we were in SLC and the kids couldn't get over how nice it was. Ashlen kept calling it a princess castle. I guess we really never take the kids to nice places.

We got to see Amy and Brent, Clay and Dawn, Grandpa C. and Grandma C. and all the Utah cousins. They had a blast playing together the night before we left and we got to eat good food and play, "what if". I think I heard someone snorting while laughing so hard....no comment grandma!!!!!

Brent and I went to Wally world (Walmart), together with the rest of the losers on Christmas eve. I really just went to get a gallon of milk.

The kids slept in until 7:30 on Christmas morning, I had been asleep about 4 hrs. at that point.

Ashlen ate the treats we left for Santa and the reindeer.

Peyten wanted a friend to sleep over on Christmas night. Funny, it was the same kid who slept over last Christmas night.

I made pancakes for Christmas dinner.

Peyten got two airsoft guns so all the neighbor kids have been having wars in the street since Christmas. It's like we live in the ghetto.

Austen beat the crap out of one of the neighbor kids who wouldn't stop shooting him in the face. He told me it was self defense. I guess it was cause the kid, who usually cries to his mama, has been unusually quiet.

Ashlen showed off her new underpants to her whole nursery class at church. They were Dora, so you know.

I only said about 5 swear words all Christmas break, pretty good for me. One was yesterday when I almost rearended someone and Lauren yelled at me to, Watch out." I was just demonstrating what not to do.

Well, I have to end this cause I have a 3 year old yelling at me. Happy new Year.
