Christmas & New Years

I can't believe the holidays are over. They were so fun! Christmas morning with the three of us was so much fun. Lilly loved everything about it! Anton spoiled me this year with some of the most exciting gifts. He is so good to me. And, Lilly got some fun toys and clothes. We were supposed to head down to St. George for Christmas this year, but the bad weather kept us in town, so it ended up being a really mellow holiday which was nice. Our first Christmas together, my parents were still on their mission and Antons parents were in St. George, so we decided to start our own tradition of staying home on Christmas Eve and making a delicious dinner and watching a Christmas movie. It has become one of my favorite traditions. So, this year we made a ham, took a plate over to Fred & Phyllis, and then watched Christmas Vacation (my favorite Christmas movie). I love Christmas, and I am sad it is over, but I am looking forward to 2009!

Anton's family came into town for a family Christmas party, and they stayed with us for a couple of nights. It was so fun to have them here, and spend time with Lilly. We always love having them come into town.

For New Years, we went over to our good friends house to play cards, eat yummy food, and hang out. It was really fun to be with all of our friends and their cute kids. When 12:00 struck, we went out and lit a bunch of fireworks, and I can honestly say it was one of the most adorable things to watch Lilly look at the fireworks. She went NUTS! She loved them...she was laughing, smiling, squealing....It was so funny! 2008 was a big year for us so I am really looking forward to 2009! I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas, and I hope you have a Happy New Year!
