December Review

Wow, I have been horrible at keeping up with this during the holidays.  December flew by! So here is what we were up to:

We celebrated our 2^nd anniversary.  

 We took a quick trip to Las Vegas to visit some of the families Jeff taught on his mission.  We got to go to the beautiful temple and enjoy home-made tortillas!  Sadly, we had to get 2 new tires for Jeff’s car while there, but luckily they didn’t go flat while driving on them! 

Then we took a long Christmas vacation to both Missouri and Seattle.  I got to help with my friend Emily’s bridal shower, whose future husband was one of Jeff’s mission companions {small Mormon world}.  I visited with old friends and got to spend time with my family.

After Christmas, we headed to Seattle. Jeff wore this the whole plane ride:  

Keeping with the ugly sweater tradition.  Since the twins are on their mission and we were in Missouri for Christmas day, everyone had to mail them to their sweater recipient.  Thus, Jeff wearing his on the plane.  I'm not as fearless as Jeff, so I didn't wear mine on the plane, but this was it:

 While in Washington, we took a trip to central Washington to watch Trevor play in a basketball tournament.

So pretty on the drive there!

Trevor's cheering section!

It snowed while we were there!! :)

We spent New Year’s Eve as a family seeing "Parental Guidance", eating, and playing Scene It. We all wore New Year's hats to eat.. and through the movie :-p

Happy New Year!

The next day we went to this cool restaurant called XXX. Sounds scandalous, but it was totally retro and delicious! 

Then, I had to go back to work, but Jeff got to stay a few more days to play.  And then our Christmas vacation was over. Bummer.
