Christmas/New Years

Our holiday season was a lot busier than I had planned on it being this year. We did Christmas with the King's the week before Christmas so that I could go to Pocatello on Thursday to see my family. We got spoiled at their house. We got a tent, 2 sleeping bags, and a propane stove for camping. (I'm not a huge camper, but the things will come in handy someday). I also got a surprise gift from Connie.... This wooden chest! :) Casey started it in his high school shop class and a neighbor was willing to finish it so that I could have it for our home. I love it. :) I went to Pocatello on Thursday and Casey joined us on Saturday night. Here is a view of what the tree looked like...an explosion basically! We had such a great time in Pocatello with family :) Haha I love this one... Carly is OBSESSED with Justin Bieber, so she was pretty psyched about this doll that Scott gave her. He was pretty excited about this game from Mom & Scott :) He is also wearing his new LA hat from Derek. He got a TON of great stuff this year. :) Our beautiful quilt from Nick & Ellen :) Ellen is so good at making picture quilts! We love it! We are planning on hanging in on a wall, but the only problem is the fact that we have no wall to hang it on... I kind of have a lot of pictures and things, so there really aren't any empty walls in this apartment...oops. One thing about our holiday season that just wasn't fun was all of the sickness...Branden was admitted to the ER and had surgery, and Grandpa Bob spent 11 days in the ICU in Arizona. His heart & lungs are only functioning at 15% and won't get any better, so mom & I took a quick trip down there to see him. It was good to see him :) Our New Year wasn't very exciting at all...I was in a hotel in Mesquite by myself with no service, so I had to Facebook Casey to tell him Happy New Year. Casey was at home alone wondering if I was ever coming back. Let's just hope that the last few weeks of the year aren't indicative of what is to come this year!
