2011 Christmas

A few events rolled in one here:

My work had their Christmas party at the Natural History Museum up by the University of Utah. It's a really cool place and you should all definitely get up to see it at some point.

Sodavy and me

Eric and me afraid of the dinos!
 Lots of dino bones


 They had a free valet service and this red carpet - so fun!

 A few days later, we had a wonderful Christmas breakfast at Natalie's and then ended up staying for church and dinner- even more deliciousness! We all opened presents before church.


That night, Eric and I went and dropped off our sub-for-santa gifts. I love sub-for-santa. And I love when the kids don't meet you so it can all be a magical holiday from Santa. 

Later in the week, I left for WA, and Eric came up Christmas night after he was done work his four days. Addi did NOT want me to leave, and tried to tell me that she was going to come with me, and then walk to Montana for Christmas. :) Love that girl.
 In WA, my parents need a different fridge/freezer combo stat. They blow dry the freezer vent when it ices over. haha
 We spent a lot of time eating, playing games, and just relaxing. 

Andrew really loved these cookies. 
 We also went to the snowflake lane show. 

 One day, Steph and I were running errands and she pulled out these glasses. I was laughing so hard.
 We opened presents with Granddad. And opened presents the next day with the whole fam.
 And played Rock Band.
 And played with the lite-bright that I got Isabelle for Christmas. I wish they made them the way they used to.
 Kenz and I went to hot yoga on Monday - Eric decided not to come.
And basically... chilled the whole vacation. It was very nice to just relax. :)

And that's all for 2011! On to 2012!!! :)

Don't know about needing a new fridge "stat" but how about in the near future? Technically they could fix the freeze-up with a CPU fan that just makes sure enough air circulates. However you forgot to mention the other faults like a leaking water line and plastic drawers that are falling apart. And what was this with forgetting to put Eric's picture with his favorite Christmas present?
