Trip Home

Sunday morning, I love my Family, it makes it so hard to leave, leaving is the hardest part of the whole trip.



Me and the man of my life, he is the best thing to happen to me, and yes he does spoil me :)



Me and my spoiled dog, we gave him a toy hamburger and he freaked out, cried and couldnt breath because he was so excited..



Nick opened the set of stuff we got him. He is getting so tall, next he will be taller than me. (not that, that is hard but he is only 5)



Zack passed out after dinner. We tickled him, Nick jumped on him, and this how he was, he didnt even move..



Kristen and I, we just woke up and got dressed to go sledding, she is the best friend any person could ask for.
(Kristen and I, sledding)

So last weekend I got to go home. I haven't been home around the Holidays for 3 years so this was just what I needed, I needed it more than I even knew. I got to have my husband, my family and my best friend. LOL and her dog.
I think we all needed this little break. Kirsten had worked 6 closes in a row, and I wasn't feeling the spirit of Christmas, and it felt like nothing was going right.Jake hadn't been up to Utah in almost 2 years, so this was just what was ordered and needed....

Us girls stayed with my family while Jake got to spend some time with his Dad, and would come over to hang out with my family.
We got there and really didn't do much, we hung out to the late hours of the night and then slept in. It was so welcoming to just sit and talk with my parents, and see how much my nephews have grown. Along with my little sister.
We did Christmas dinner seeing as this was as many people would be home for the holidays, and then exchanged gifts. I love seeing the faces of those I give to, and when it's family it makes it that much more meaningful. I know now that I get my loving, and caring from my family. I have the best of both worlds, Jakes Mom who is and has always welcomed me into her home and life, and mine who love me even when I make mistakes. That is how I want to be, and this has been the greatest gift of all, to just have them, and my husband who supports me on everything I do..
I hope we can all have a Merry Christmas and may your hearts be filled, and may we all be able to enjoy family, loved ones, and the best of friends...

Christmas Tree

So this year we did our tree different. Well Jakes moms tree. I love how it turned out, all the reds, greens and just a little sliver. The Christmas tree is what makes it for me. It just always shines so bright and beautiful. I love the tree :)

I'll be home for Christmas

I am so excited. I am going home Next week. Just for the weekend, but I haven't been home around the Holidays since we moved to Vegas.
I will have everything I want this year :)
I will be with my loving husband,my family and even my bestest friend is coming up with us.
So please have snow.. :)

This is the best, and I hope everyone has a very Merry Christmas..

Tis the season

I cannot believe Christmas is in only 20 days.
I've been thinking lately that well, I just dont feel in the good spirit of Christmas like I did in the past. I dont know if it's in the getting older, the grouchy people I have to try to please, or the fact that it is 50 out during the day. (I'm use to the snow and 35 for a high)
With all that, I find myself really having to try to be in a good mood, and remember tis the season..
I do know I am blessed though, and that is what we should all be counting, our blessings not the gifts under the tree.
I have a great husband who supports me and my bad habit of shopping at Micheal's, wonderful family who loves me, I even get to go see them next week. ( I hope there's snow) And of course good friends.
So when I remember this, it help brighten the day.
