December 2014
I try to blog. I really do. But then I think about how much time it takes to sit here and create a blog and how many other things I should be doing and then I just don’t blog. So for now, you get posts when I post. It’s that simple.
But here is a wrap up of December. Enjoy!
First, we will begin with my birthday. I mean it is really important and all. 38. A few years ago, it seemed like such a big number. An old number. But now that I’m here, it’s not so bad. I mean, yeah I have to admit to being 38 and it sounds old but you really are as old as you feel. And I don’t feel old. Or at least what I would have thought I would feel like at this age. I’m not really sure what I was expecting. All of a sudden, I just turn into an old lady? That’s not really my style anyway. I’ll grow old by gracefully fighting it every step of the way. I mean, 40 is the new 20 right? Actually I don’t want to go back to my 20’s. I kind of like it right now. I’m good. Am I making sense?
Ok so here are a few pixs from my 38th celebrations. The kids were a little disappointed in not having a cake this year but it was ok since I opted for my primal fudge instead. The mess says it all…
And homemade cards/gifts are my very favorite thing…
Jeremiah works with some pretty spectacular people who have become very good friends. Once a month we all get together, sometimes with kids, sometimes without. It always is a good time. 
During December the party was a bit of a going away from one of the crew. So this one was a bit bittersweet. These two happened to live across the street from us as well. Jacob happened to love their oldest daughter but their second daughter happened to love Jacob. Yep, our very first love triangle. Also their twin boy and girl are just adorable. I was given the name Missa Megan by the little boy who may have been a little excite to see me every once in a while. You know I have a thing for little blonde haired blue eye boys!
Jamie had 2 concerts with her choir club. One was at the Ogden amphitheater. This was all I was allowed to get for that one…
But she made up for it by posing for the next concert which was at school…
Christmas came and went and it was so much fun this year. Pop Pop arrived in early December and joined us for Christmas this year. The kids (and us parents too) were over the moon about it.
Jacob was in charge of making the reindeer food and placing the treats and milk out for Santa…
So after watching Rudolf, the kid went to bed…
The adults had to get everything ready quietly which was tricky but we managed…
And then Christmas morning was crazy with hot chocolate, cookies, and presents…lots and lots of presents…
And then Pop Pop went home. Boo!
We did manage to do a little exploring of Utah while Pop Pop was here. We hopped on the front runner (the commuter train around here) and took it into Salt Lake City to Temple Square to see the Christmas lights. The kids were excited about the whole thing but Jacob was a little over the top with the train. I have to say, it was simply amazing to see all the lights.
It was a lovely holiday season. That’s all I have downloaded from my camera. More to come some other day…Thanks for looking!
