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.

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...
