OK, I'm home, so I can get our blog updated... I ended up staying in AZ with my Mom, Dad and Kernan while Brian, Maci, Jaxin and Stockton came to UT! Then Mom, Kernan and I went to Vegas on Wednesday, we shopped... ate... and slept and then Brian and the kids came down on Thursday and we switched back!! It's been a crazy hectic couple of weeks! So I can now begin to get everyone updated!! Ü
On Wed (dec 23) we got to AZ @ 3:00am! It was a long night but I am beginning to like traveling that way, makes me feel like we haven't lost any time... I know we're crazy! Ü
Anywho, I had a fun photoshoot that afternoon, check my photo blog with some sneak peeks, then that night we had a pizza party and watched the University of Utah play in the Poinsettia Bowl... The kids had the house all decorated...
Mom decorated some food... Yummy!
And of course we were all decked out in our Utes attire... I only got pictures of the girlies though...
My Grandpa and Gram Peterson also flew in on Wed just before the Utes game, they were able to come spend Christmas with us this year!!! Gram however is not a U of U fan... She routes for another team,*cough* BYU*cough* eww!! So we made this awesome sign and shirt for her to wear during the game!! Ü
Our AwEsOmE sign!! I'm going to make one for my house too!!
And we're pleased to report: the UTES WON!! whoop whoop!!
So the next day was Christmas Eve... We hung out and did some Christmas baking...
My kids loved making sugar cookies with Grandma!
Kernan really enjoyed it!! And did an excellent job!
**love this picture**
After the cookies were done baking, we all went to the greenbelt behind my parents house to watch Stockton and Brian shoot of the rocket...
The audience...
And the other half of the audience...
Later that night we had to ice the cookies... Maci did a very good job icing all the things that needed to be green!
Kernan iced a snowman, put sprinkles on it and said, "OK, time to eat it!" haha! He was done icing after that, I wasn't going to let him eat everyone he did! Ü
Then the kids opened their one present that they get to open on Christmas Eve... What was inside?!
Jammies of course!! Ü
I love this picture of Kernan playing with the jet... "Shoooo"
We all played some bowling on the Wii... We had a family bowling tournament! Here is Gram getting the low-down on how to do it...
It didn't take her long! She just about beat us all!! I think Dad ended up winning the entire "tournament", but Gram came in second!!
And Grandpa didn't do to bad either!!
Here is my brothers DVD he sent us to watch... Best present!! Ü
Our finished cookies...
One of my Mom's awesome trees...
Then it was time for the kids to put out the Magic Reindeer Food!
Kernan was super excited!
They got Santa's cookies and milk all ready after the reindeer were feed and then it was off to bed to await Santa's arrival!!
Christmas Day pictures coming soon!!
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!!

Lots of great pictures! Lots of decorated sugar cookies! (Wish we would have sent a few of the home with you! Lol.) Lot's of fun memories again this year. Kolby's DVD and the phone conversation was the best of them for sure. Glad you were all here to share them with us! Always make me happy!! :)
I love how you colored the santa cookies picture and the tree pix. Does the Magical Reindeer food melt when it get's wet? If so, that's awesome. I love how Kolby marked how long the tape was.
The marshmallow thing is soooo cool, I want some!
