Fun Holiday Weekend


This past weekend was tons of fun. On Friday we went to a friends party with our friends from high school. There happened to be a huge snow storm that day and it was quite slow going to get to Sara's house in Herriman. But luckily we made it just fine. We enjoyed good food, good company and an awesome White Elephant game. We did miss a bunch of our friends, so hopefully we can see them next year.

On Saturday I went to sister-in-laws (Amy's) baby shower at Margie's house. It was lots of fun to see those that came. Not too many of the family came, maybe because of the weather or because it was the Saturday before Christmas -- they missed out. We had some yummy lunch and then we got to see Amy open the gifts with all the cute baby stuff. She is due in January and we will have yet another boy in the family. Later that night we went to the Steenblik family dinner. It was really fun too. We got to see a lot of the Steenblik clan and eat some more food - tis the season. We had to leave early to get Tyler to bed, but Tony's late grandma had bought Christmas gifts for everyone, so we were given ours. Their gifts are always....how you say...interesting. But it is the thought that counts.

We don't have much more planned until Christmas Eve. Which is really good. We need a break and Tyler needs life to be normal for a while before all the craziness of Christmas. We are excited to enjoy Christmas with our families and can't wait to see Tyler open his gifts. What a wonderful time of the year to give to others and to remember the birth of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
