We woke up Christmas morning to find that despite all the moving boxes and chaos, Santa found his way to our house! We went to Tama and Karlo's house for breakfast and to watch them open presents and open the ones they had for us.
Later in the day, they came to our house to see what Santa left at our house for them! We enjoyed a very nice laid back Christmas.
We spent the week unpacking and trying to settle in a bit. On Friday we had to go to Utah to meet our friend and return his truck and trailer and get mine back from him. Travis and Robin decided to meet us to exchange Christmas presents with them and we were able to call the Stuckis (who were in Pocatello with Karlo's family) and they decided to meet us as well so we could all spend a couple days together for the holiday.
I can't begin to thank Ben enough for the bail out with our move and his wife, Erin is a rock star!! Because of her husband's generousity, SHE had to drive their van all the way to Utah behind him as he drove my truck. She is not a fan of driving and I'm sure she was cussing at me in her mind all the way from Arizona to Utah! :-) But it's okay, I love her and know she loves me! She even had to handle the trauma of slaying a jack rabbit with her van! Thank you so much, Erin!! Every good man, has a great woman behind him!! :-)
We had a great time with the grands and all our kids. We took all the grandkids to the Children's Museum, sledding in the canyon, and swimming at the hotel. We celebrated Christmas in the hotel and the grands all had a wonderful time playing together and having fun together. As with all fun things, it ended too soon and we all had to return to our homes.
We all made it home safe and sound and have been trying to settle back into the routine of school and work.
I have a ton more I could write about but this will be enough for this time....I won't let so much time go by before the next post!
