Christmas Weekend

So after work on Friday the 21st Jackie and I decided to make the drive back to Utah. We made it in record time. I ended up being really sick all weekend and that was no fun. We met up with Brian and Abby and Ryan and Amber for lunch on Saturday and it was nice to catch up. We sure do miss being able to hang out with them. That night we had the Vincent party which was fun. Grandpa put on the Santa Suit so he could take pictures with the great grandkids. Christmas Eve we went and saw National Treasure and then spent the evening with Jackie's extended family. It was a lot of fun and had some great food. We got stuck in a blizzard that afternoon and it sure did remind me how much I hate driving in the snow. We were able to see Candice, Dallas, and Cohen that night for a little bit. Spent Christmas morning with Jackie's parents opening gifts and eating breakfast. Thanks to Jane for all the great food she cooked this weekend and for letting us stay with them. On our way out we stopped by my Mom's to say goodbye and play with Cayman. It sure will be fun to have kids some day that will open gifts. Hopefully everyone had a Merry Christmas like we did!!!!
Cayman and me, I think I had more fun in the pop up tent than she did.

Weekend in Salt Lake

So we had a chance to go back home last Thursday. We landed late Thursday night with a little bit of snow coming down. It was so cold!!!! We spent Friday running some errands. We stopped by Jackie's brother Scott's work and said hi. We went out to lunch with Sarah, baby Kayla, Natalie, Debbie, and Allison. We enjoyed Rumbi's grill and it was fun for Jackie to catch up with her friends and just talk. That night we went to the Bountiful Temple for Candice's first time and it was nice to be there. We met Ryan and Amber for dinner at Cafe Rio, and McKay joined us too. Saturday we went to a luncheon for Candice and Dallas and then to their Sealing. President Stanely who performed our Sealing also did theirs. It was great to hear his counsel again. That evening we were able to hang out with Terry, Jane, Tim, Ashli, Wyatt, Scott, Kristy, Kyle, Jed, Jake and Colby. Sunday we celebrated Christmas with Mom, Grandma, Grandpa, Cory, July, Cayman, Candice, Dallas, and Cohen. It sure was a lot of fun being with everyone. It does make it hard to come back to California. We are looking forward to Christmas, it should be fun like always.
