THANKSGIVING
We had Thanksgiving Dinner with my side this year at my Brother's place. It was so nice and yummy! We had such a nice dinner and a fun evening hanging out as a family. The men enjoyed napping and watching football while the women planned Black Friday shopping.

CHRISTMAS
The Christmas season was fun and busy as always! To be totally honest....we had a really hard time not being in Bozeman where our home and traditions are. Having most of our house in storage is kind of a pain for trying to make Christmas "normal". Okay! That's enough of the "sob story".
We did a lot of festive things including: Family Christmas Parties x3, Thanksgiving Pointe Lights, Temple Square, Festival of The Trees, Dickens Festival, Christmas movies, Donated to Homeless Shelter, yummy food, Christmas Eve Dinner & Christmas Dinner.
Christmas Eve we had a nice quiet day and went to lunch with my SIL for her Birthday. We found "Christmas Street" downtown to drive after dinner to see lights. Once we got home we opened Christmas Eve gifts and had hot chocolate. Blakely was over the moon about her Dora PJ's and slippers.
Christmas morning was so exciting and fun for all of us! Blakely was a little overwhelmed at first but warmed up to the idea of playing with the toys that Santa had left her. She looked and played with her kitchen instantly and she was just so happy. We finally got her to start opening presents and that was fun to watch...until she lost interest and started playing with her kitchen again! (good job Santa) She also received a Little People Doll House that she adores, a shopping cart, jewelry, Dora Doll, clothes and some books. She had a RAD morning!!!
Brock and I got a new computer (only had to pay$2 thanks to GCards), new gym clothes and work clothes for Brock.

NEW YEAR'S EVE
For New Year's we decided to head to my sister's new place in Nevada for a visit. Brock had to work for half the day so we left late afternoon. Nette has a really nice and cute home in a pretty sweet town. It was nice to to see where they are at and what they are doing.
She fed us some awesome New Year's food and we just visited all night! Blakely was ridiculous-she would NOT sleep. She was awake the ENTIRE 4 hour drive that we specifically planned during nap time and she wouldn't go to bed that night either! She was like a little walking zombie/party animal baby! She did finally fall asleep in bed with her daddy around 11:00pm, so they missed ringing in the New Year!
Ran: 7 miles
