I did want to post something about Christmas for memory sake. Christmas Day and the two days following were supposed to be completely dedicated to the Wright family (an unofficial family reunion, I guess). My parents and grandparents were coming from Washington, Dave and his family were coming from California and even my sister, Jamie was surprising everyone by coming in from Nauvoo. Most of the family would have all been together, but as many of you can remember there were some terrible storms the week leading up to Christmas and travel from any of those places was dangerous and in some cases almost impossible!
My parents and grandparents were snowed in up in Washington and roads across Wyoming and even coming up from So. Cal were terrible!! So, instead we ended up just getting together with those of us living here in Utah on Saturday after Christmas to spend the day together. It is always great to get together with my family for any amount of time, but we sure missed those from out-of-state who couldn't be with us.
Christmas at our house was quiet and nice. We spent the morning and most of the day just at our house with the kids playing with their new toys. Christmas afternoon we were invited to go to Bump's brother's house in Kaysville, but there was supposed to be another big storm that day and the wind was so terrible that we decided to pass. Then my sister, Tracy (who lives here in Grantsville), called and invited us over to share their Christmas dinner with them. So, we braved the terrible wind for almost 2 whole miles to go over to Tracy's house. We had some yummy turkey and had fun playing some of their new Christmas board games.
Overall we had a nice and very relaxing Christmas. Bump had almost 2 weeks off of work (with a few scattered working days mixed in, but mostly they were half days with not much going on). It was really, really hard for me to have him go back to work. I just love spending time with him so much and really appreciated the time we got to have him home doing nothing but relaxing thanks to the weather!!
We also had a really fun New Years Eve with some wonderful friends, The McMillans. We went to their house for dinner and then games, which we love to play!! They have probably rang in the New Year with us more times than anyone else over the many, many years that we have known them! It was great to do it again and the kids were wonderful for us!!!
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Welcome 2009!!!!!
