Holiday Adventures

Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Well a little update on our lives. Thanksgiving my sister Kimberly and her family came to St. George to visit and we had lots of fun while they were here. My mom and sister LaTesa came to visit the first weekend of December and we shopped til I dropped. It is always fun to have family come visit here instead of always having to go north to see them. Christmas was busy I had a baby shower the week before christmas thanks to Sarah and Amy who put it on it turned out great and I got lots of cute things. It was nice to have Cindy here also where she could join in with the family. We had fun with Cindy and Jim in town for a week. We had our Christmas with them on Tuesday before Christmas at our house and it turned out great. We even got a family picture taken without it being a wedding! Thanks for all the gifts!

We headed up North on Christmas Eve and just in the nick of time to ride to Logan for my family's party with relatives. It was good to see everyone and we had lots of fun with games and all the good food. On Christmas we went to LaTesa's house to open gifts and have more good food (I think that is all we did was eat I felt like).

Kari holding LaTesa's new dog named Missy. She sure was a cute little thing. On Friday it worked out that some friends from high school all got together and we went to dinner. I hadn't seen a lot of them in about 5 years so it was good to catch up and see how everyone was doing. Congrats to JoyLyn who has been married for a year and to Kathleen who got engaged on Christmas! I am excited for her and thanks for setting it up. And then there was me who had gotten married and am now 8 months pregnant that no one knew about so all in all it was a night of updating on our lives.

On Saturday we headed to Tremonton to spend a night with my Kimberly and Chad and also thanks to Kimberly and Shelly for throwing me a baby shower. It was great and very stressful with all that went on to get it put together. We had to head back to St. George on Sunday and we were very blessed not to have bad weather while driving. On New Years we got together with Amy, Sarah and Camron to play games. We ended up at our house just before midnight to watch the fireworks put off on Dixie hill. We can tell we are getting old cause we were all ready for bed by 1030 but we were strong and stayed up til the fireworks were over. This is our first picutre of 2009!! Also with me being 8 months pregnant.
