We had a very eventful and fun holiday season. We spent Christmas Eve with our friends Spencer and Kelli and we went and looked at Christmas lights around town even though the car windows wouldn't de-fog for anything. Haha. We went back to our place and played Rock Band on our Wii for a while. Christmas morning Sam got home from work at 6 a.m. and we jumped right in the car and drove down to my family's house in St. George. We joined everyone in seeing what Santa had brought then we all sat down to my family's traditional Christmas breakfast of green pancakes with strawberry syrup and whipped cream and green eggs and ham. SO yummy. :) After that we all sat around and opened all the gifts under the tree. The gift I received that was my favorite was a telephoto lens for my camera from Sam. He totally surprised me! I really really love it. I think Sam's favorite present was the new albums of Blue October and Pearl Jam that I got him. We both really love the game Wii Sports Resort that we got too. After all the present were opened Sam went upstairs to get some shut eye and I hung out with my family. We played a lot of Wii Sports Resort and I took my sister and her dog to the dog park. When Sam got up we just kept the fun going and spent time with my grandma, step grandpa and my uncle who came over for lunch. We drove home that evening so Sam could go to work.
The next day when Sam woke up we got in the car and drove up to SLC to spend the weekend with Sam's family. We hung out with our friends that night and stayed up way late but we loved every second. I got to drive my father in law's brand new black '99 Corvette over to our friend's house. FUN! The next morning we had breakfast with our friends and watched a bunch of episodes of Modern Family which is hilarious! We went back to Sam's parents house and got ready for family pictures. I'm so excited to get them back. :) We all went back and had Christmas dinner and all the couples did gift exchanges. It was really fun to have all of Sam's family together. They're awesome. The next day we spent the day shopping and found Sam some jeans and me some new tops. We enjoyed dinner at Applebee's together and then headed home.
For New Year's Sam had to work so I went down to my family's house and spent a few days with my family partying as much as married people do. I played Mexican Train with my parents and sisters and got to see a lot of people from the neighborhood I grew up in. One of the best things is I got to go to Costco with my mom. Its the greatest place on earth. :)
We had a great holiday and are very blessed to spend with both our families and can't wait to do it again. Happy Holidays to all!!
