Wii Fit

For Christmas this year I really wanted a Wii Fit. Jared tried to be really sneaky in getting it for me. His parents went to RC Willey one night and he got it ordered over the phone and told me I couldn't go with him when he went to pick up my present. Well the next day he decided I could go but would have to wait in the car. We got to the store and he told me I could go in but I couldn't go up when he paid for it. As we were looking at car stereos the salesman who Jared talked to on the phone the night before came up and started talking to Jared, as the conversation goes on Jared says "You helped me on the phone last night about a present" he tells the guys his name and the guy says "Oh yeah, for the Wii Fit". SO I knew about my present in October and Jared and Polly (his Mom) tried to tell me that they took it back to the store, which of course I never believed. My big gift this year was my Wii Fit and I love it! It is so fun to use and hopefully it will get me Fit! Jared laughs when I get on the board at the lack of my coordination!

For Christmas Eve we went to Jared's parents house for dinner and presents. They always have pizza which I think is awesome!

On Christmas we went to my Grandma & Grandpa Bruin's to visit them and get our presents & then off to my Mom's and Step Dad's with the family. This was a picture my Mom took of my Brother and his wife (baby Breda is in there too..snug in her Mommy's tummy) and my Sister and her husband and of course Jared and I. We had a good time there opening more presents and eating and talking. Afterward we went back to Jared's parents for our tradition of Prime Rib for dinner..it was yummy! We had a great Christmas and we hope you did too!

Merry Christmas!

We hope you have a very Merry Christmas. We are thankful at this time of year for the birth of our Savior. May you be blessed in the upcoming year!

We got over a foot of snow yesterday, it snowed all day long! Our nice neighbor came and helped me clear off our driveway otherwise I would have been out there for hours. It was a crazy snow day where we got a ton of snow and Davis County maybe got 2 inches! It is weird how that works. We will have a White Christmas this year for sure.

Jared sent me this email..you will have to click on it to see what any Man would want for Christmas!

Last weekend our computer crashed. We had to get a new hard drive from Dell..luckily we were under warranty still so it was all free. It seems like forever since I have had a computer to type on..I think I had withdrawls!

We have officially know each other for 5 years..well really it was December 8th..that was our first date 5 years ago! We went out to dinner at the Macaroni Grill...Jared got valet parking I am sure just to impress me, afterwards we went and saw the lights on Temple Square, and went for hot chocolate. I really can't believe that was 5 years ago, times sure moves fast. We have had some great times together and some not so great times..as long as we are together that is all that matters!

Annual Shopping Trip

I went yesterday after work shopping with my Mom, Grandma and Aunt Sarah. We go every year. They were busy shoppers by the time I met up with them. We went out to lunch and to the mall and target to get a few things! Those places were packed...I can't believe how many people were out shopping I guess Christmas is only 20 days away..it is coming fast! My Aunt Sarah was pushing my Grandma in her wheelchair and dancing to the music..it was a funny sight to the people around, she cracks me up! I love the annual shopping trip that we always make in December, I hope that is one tradition that continues!

Our Christmas tree has been up for about a week now. Jared brought all of the stuff upstairs last Monday, so I put up the tree and all the rest of the decorations. I love this time of year, it is my favorite!

Last year Jared found this Santa & Reindeer set for me at Costco. I put it on our mantel with some cotton for snow..I think it is pretty cute!
