The Week In Review...

Well, we have been busy, busy, busy. Which is typical of December, right? Where do I begin?

Let's see....

We got the Christmas tree finished, which is always my first priority. I love the Christmas tree!! As many of you know, we are living with my parents right now. But my mom let us put up our Christmas tree instead of hers, which was really sweet of her. Kristin brought my finishing touches with her at Thanksgiving (I had her swing by Tai Pan for me...oh how I miss that store...thanks Kristin!!)

We had our ward Christmas party last Wednesday. Lots of good food...a program that I am sure was lovely (don't know for sure, thanks to my almost-two-year-old that didn't want to sit still or be quiet)...and the girls got to see Santa! For some reason, my girls looked like little orphans that night. Darn.

Kyle and I went to his company Christmas party on Friday night. There are more people than I thought that work at Colloid. Tons of people were there. We ate at the Irma in Cody, which I had never been to before. They provided a prime rib dinner and an open bar....Kyle and I drank lots of Mr. Pibb!! Ha ha!! There was a live band and dancing. It was a good time.

We got some lights put up outside. Well, Kyle did...while I supervised and lost control of the girls...who were so excited to be outside!! They were running all over the place (in opposite directions, of course). Matty got out in the field and just kept running and running and running! Can you see her out there??

She scared a jack rabbit out of the field. Funniest thing ever! It was HUGE! It ran up to the road, looked both ways to make sure there weren't any cars coming, then it hopped out onto the road and stood on its hind legs. Then it did some donkey kicks, and finally it just hopped right down the middle of the highway out of sight!!

And yesterday we stayed in our p.j.'s all day. I was working on some Christmas gifts. I am so excited about this project...but mum's the word...it is a surprise for some of you out there! This is the only hint you get:

And while I was busy at the sewing machine, the girls were doing this:

They were so cute dancing together in their pajama tops and some random skirts they pulled out of their closet! And yes, I did join them for a while....good thing I'm the one that runs the camera around here!!!!

I love Christmas time and all the sweet memories that come with it!!!!
