Christmas 2014

What another successful Christmas! We are all spoiled rotten and had a wonderful morning and Christmas Day. Santa arrived early on Christmas morning. We had to wake Talya up to come see what he brought. She was stoked about her Super-Hero Barbie and the watch he brought her. "He even brought me a scooter. I didn't even know that!" She loved EVERYTHING she got. I have decided that age 4 was pretty great for christmas. Ty loved everything too. Helping unwrap all the presents and playing with everything Talya got!

We had our tradition french toast for breakfast. Later in the day we spent the rest of the afternoon with the Bracken Family. It was fun to be with family during this special holiday season.

Christmas Eve

We celebrated Christmas Eve with the Hunt Family. We had Pizza Hut pizza and yummy "sticky" punch. We went to Great Grandpa and Grandma Hunt's house. She had a gift for all the great grandchildren as well as the grandchildren couples.

Our kids got to open a Christmas Eve present. Talya got Queen Elsa pjs and Ty got some Christmas Elf pjs. It is always the best night of the year. I think our kids are still just a little too little to really understand, however, Talya was pretty excited! 

December Randomness

Talya at the Dentist!

She was nervous before but was SO brave and did a great job.

LOTS and LOTS of cousin time!

Helping Grandpa decorate the Christmas Tree. (Not even staged)

Another haircut for Ty.

Love snuggling with Grandpa

Christmas Dinner with the family at Iggy's.

Colorado/Utah/Reno

The biggest reason we are in Utah for so long is because Colten is doing 6 out of 8 residency interviews close to here so we found it cheaper and more convenient to "base camp" out of Enterprise and drive to the close ones.

He drove to Fort Collins and Greeley, Colorado for an interview at each place. The kids and I then joined him and together we drove to Grand Junction, Colorado.  

We stayed in this beautiful "Christmas Village" town called Dillon, CO. 

Found a house with SO many Christmas lights. 

Dropping Colten off at his interview. 

We took an afternoon and drove up on the Monument. It was so beautiful.

After the Grand Junction, we then spent the next week in Ogden, Salt Lake City, and Provo. He did an interview in Ogden and Provo before we drove back down to Enterprise. 

A another visit with Santa gone bad.

The Next week Colten and I flew to Reno for his final interview. It was fun other than I was sick with the stomach flu for a couple days. Puking on the side of Lake Tahoe isn't very fun.
