Christmasy Things

The days leading up to Christmas were SO busy! Here is a crude attempt at documenting some of it! Wednesday for YM/YW we took the youth down to the Christmas Lights at Historic 25th street in Ogden. We went to dinner at Pizza Factory first, then the lights, then Hot Chocolate! It was FREEZING! It had been snowing the few days before so it hadn't been too cold, but that day it had cleared up and we thought we were going to freeze. It was about 20 degrees in Ogden, but once we got back to Morgan it was only 13. Way too cold for me :(

Thursday night we had Jake's work Christmas party at one of my favorite restaurants, The Timbermine. It was Jake's first time there, but delicious as expected! They had some pretty cool gifts, one being a laptop! Sadly we didn't get it..But we did end up with a Gift Card to Applebees. The next morning my mom, aunt, and I got together to make Christmas candy and treats! We made Fudge, Caramels, Chocolate Dipped Pretzels, and Cherry O'lettes. It was so much fun and delicious!

My brother gave Emery his old Superman shirt :) She was pretty proud. 

Saturday morning Jake went shooting with some friends, the Allens. Then we had our Thatcher Family Christmas party at my parents house. It is always so good to see everyone! Emery has lots of cousins around her age on that side so it is always fun! We found out that morning Emery was cutting 2 molars so we  had to have  little bit of Tylenol to get through but after that she was happy as could be!

She absolutely loves pushing her dolly around in her stroller. She does it for hours. 

My mom and her brothers Kevin and Gary, and sister Terry Lynn. Just missing Uncle Gordon and Aunt Lisa! We miss you guys!

Playing games, opening presents. 

I absolutely loves this time of year. More than anything I love the time that we get to spend with family. It is the best. I wouldn't trade mine for the world! Hope everyone had a Merry Christmas. 

Christmas post coming soon!
