A Big Update From Our Winter Break

I know it has been less than a month since I have posted, but a lot has happened. I will of course give the readers digest story of it all. (since you probably don't want to read it all and I don't have hours to spend writing it)

Christmas break was wonderful. I was able to have 16 consecutive days off work. Boy did I need a break. Roy was also able to take 6 days off of work so we could go up to Orem, Utah to spend Christmas with our families.

22nd- Got last minute gifts.... mostly stuff for us.

23rd- spent the day with Roy's family and had a nice dinner with his sister Aubri and her family. Also went to the Robert's craft Christmas sale and got tons of decorations for 75% off!!!

24th- Had a nice Christmas dinner with my family, then went to Nephi to see my Grandma Prisbrey.

25th- Christmas morning, slept in til about 7:00 Utah time (6:00 NV time) and went to Lehi to see the Bale's Christmas. Went to my house, opened presents, took a nap, and the boys all played poker. Then we went to Roy's house and opened more presents. Then we just RELAXED.
We got some pretty awesome Christmas presents. even the dogs. Macie was very excited to get a rawhide hot dog.






























I got a sewing machine and Roy got a guitar. He is learning to play it so fast I can't believe it.



26th- Took my parents to dinner and a Jazz game for my dad's Christmas present, don't worry it was fair, we got my mom a new sewing machine.

27th- drove back to Las Vegas.

Had a nice few days off and also looked at houses again, wrote an offer and are still waiting to hear back. Then our friends Ellie and Steve and their cute little girl Lilly came to spend New Years with us. We have decided we might make it a tradition since we have now spent the last 2 years with them at this time.

Lilly seemed to enjoy the basket of dog toys.











31st- Drove up to the temple and watched the fireworks that were shot off the top of the hotels on the strip (very cool, but they all looked like they were on fire.)

























Happy New Year!!!






1st- Went shopping with Ellie and Steve while Roy worked, then made chicken fajitas for dinner.

2nd- Ellie and Steve skipped a wedding and spent more time with us, but eventually they had to leave. We washed the cars, took the Christmas tree down, and then had more friends over that evening.

3rd-New church time 1:00. I am not a fan, yes I love to sleep in but I don't like to go to bed right when I get home... Cooked dinner and took to friends house and played some Wii games.

4th -BACK TO WORK :( but it was fun to see my students again.
