Christmas 2008






What a month…
I must say that December has been the good month so far in North Carolina. It started with a care package from a friend back home Heather, then came the 12 days of Christmas from Grandma Colleen, then packages, from Grandma Buddy, Kara & Cheri & Sloane. The girls love to get packages so this was very exciting. Alex had her dance concert and it has been a few years since Alex has been on the stage dancing and she did really good. She is a very good dance and looked so beautiful. Kiara also had had chores concert and she was a hit as well. She knew all the words and actions and looked beautiful. If any of you have seen Kiara in a program you know what a big deal it is for her and she came through with flying colors ☺ Rhett and I were very proud. Then came the much-dreaded Christmas day itself with no family around. However, despite the fact I had a horrible head cold and all our family was back in Utah, we survived and actually had a very good day. The girls got a Wii and I am not sure who was more excited….my girls or MY HUSBAND. We have been playing Guitar Hero, Mario Cart and Wii games none stop. The girls favorite game is Sing it (thanks Dwany) followed by Mario Cart. Rhett loves them all but Guitar Hero takes the cake. I am getting better I don’t even get booed off the stage and I don’t take last in Mario cart so what do you know. Rhett and I had to wake the girls up at about 7:15 and by 9:00 we were all done cleaned up and eating breakfast. The rest of the day was filled with Wii followed by a get together at the Bolo’s that night. All in all we had a very good day.
However the winner of all gifts were that Rhett is going back to Utah for an interview and we decided to take the girls with us. Well, let me just tell you that I am pretty sure you could hear them clear down the road screaming. It was closely followed by many phone calls to all of there friends back home. It was a big hit. ☺
We hope all of our friends and family had a very Merry Christmas and we are wishing them all a Happy New Years!!!!!!
