The Holidays 2015

THANKSGIVING

We spent Thanksgiving in Coalville, in the newly renovated milk barn - turned Party Barn! We enjoyed good food, good company and good shopping. :) Tim got to spend some time with his brother and he got invited by Curtis and Jace to play on their alumni basketball team too! He was pretty stoked. We got to go to the Judd and Carpenter family Christmas parties, always makes it feel like Christmas time when those come around!

Kelvy had a little knee repair!

Aunt Hil and Heathers, he is such a happy boy!

On black friday we had no luck shopping...
UNTIL we hit Under Armour!
The workers thought we were crazy because we were there for
so long... and then came back later that night!

CHRISTMAS

We spent Christmas with Tim's family in St. George. Mark and Shan came down and and we played some games, opened gifts and of course ate plenty of food. Christmas day we saw the movie Unbroken, it was a fun thing to do but that movie was sa-ad. Tim and I did our own little Christmas on Christmas Eve at our house and then spend Christmas Eve and Christmas day at his parent's. I love Christmas! I'm sad it's already over!

I made us a cute little Christmas sock advent calendar!

Ugly sweaters!

Ugly sweater party at Kristen and Jase's!

Tim's favorite gift... to himself...

 NEW YEARS

The weekend after Christmas, my mom, dad and Kelv came to visit us! So fun to have them, especially since we didn't get to see them for actual Christmas. Kimball and Les' fam came down to stay at Tim and Dana's too so it was a big party! We took the boys to the batting cage, a pond to feed ducks, and the crystal fields. We had Tim's graduation dinner at Texas Roadhouse on Friday night - I am SO proud of him!!! He has waited for this day for so long, working his bum off to get there. It's such a relief for him to be done and I can already see the difference in the weight being lifted off of him. I'm lucky to have a hard working guy like him! :)

Hey Kimball!

Mom... Heavy hitter!

Dad!

Tim and Dana took us to these crystal fields out
 on the Arizona border. I had never heard of them
before but they were so cool! Crystals everywhere!
The boys were having a hay day!

Kelv and Heath!

 Kimball's family stayed down all week and we pretty much hung out with them every night after work, it was so fun! I loved having them so close! We had dinner and games almost every night and it was heavenly! :) Dana and Les and I got pedicures also... so that didn't suck at all!

New Years Eve partiers!
Thank you Tim and Dana for hosting us all week!

 We took out the bubbly... sparkling cider.... and we all said something awesome that happened in the previous year and something awesome to come in the new year. It was so fun to hear everyone's thoughts and I think we'll just have to make it a yearly tradition. After each person said something we "ting tinged" as Heath would say!

Tim said he was happy to have graduated last year, and that he looks forward to buying our first house in the year to come!

I said I was happy to have spent 2 weeks showing Tim my home in Hawaii, and I look forward to seeing Tim's Russia home in 2015!

Lots of good things to look forward to, we live a GREAT life and we're so grateful for the people in it!

Ting ting! Ting ting!
Caleb and Tate LOVED our toasts, they were so excited every time!

New Years Day we got to have lunch with Tim's parents at Pizza Pie Cafe, visiting Adam, and wondering around the mall - and getting ready for our Ydraw cruise!!
