Quick update...

Simply I am tired of seeing my Christmas page when I go "blog stalking" so I decided to update my page a bit :)
Do you ever feel like life is so busy and you never stop but when you finally slow down at night you wonder what you've actually accomplished the entire day? Welcome to the last 3 weeks of our lives... it seems like we never stop going and rushing places but we have no big duties or anything huge on our plate right now...
With the new year we are both really busy with work, Dave is picking up extra hours every chance he gets and also decided to work security on the week-ends (usually just Saturday but an occasional Friday nights too) for a little extra money. I am crazy busy at work and along with cutting far too many heads of hair a day I keep extra busy with paperwork and scheduling I never seem to be caught up and that for me is frustrating. Why we work so hard to make extra money instead of calming down and spending more time together I am not quite sure.... maybe that's something we can work on! I do enjoy "my time" while Dave works nights, not gonna lie! While he gets to be alone on the nights I work late it's great for me to be alone and get laundry done and house cleaning when I don't feel guilty that I should be spending time with him.
Awesome! That's our life in a nut shell right now.

Stay tuned... something more exciting is bound to happen in our lives before long!!

Christmas day...

Our Christmas started off at 4:45 when Roz and B just couldn't sleep another minute! They were so excited Santa found them at Grandma and Grandpa's house... about half way through they were tired of opening presents and of course got spoiled rotten!! After presents we ate breakfast and a nap was needed...

B with the play-doh set we got for her...

Roz also got a play-doh set...

We finally got David's parents a "spackman" sign like ours that we intended on getting them over a year ago... we hope it was worth the wait!!!

Then we headed to Grandma Hill's to spend time with Dave's family, open more gifts and eat again, I can not even explain how very lucky I am to have the in-laws I do I love them ALL like my own family and spending time with them is always nice. It just seems like so many people dread this time of year because they have to see the in-laws... I am definitely lucky!!

After Grandma Hill's we went up to my Grandma's in Rexburg where we spent the remainder of the day until it was time to come home relax and watch a movie. Movie of choice... the hangover... not the best Christmas movie but hey we aren't traditional- so funny!!

This was Brooklyn by the end of the night... beat! 5 years old still sucking her thumb... can you say hot sauce??

And this is Roz at the same time B is out... playing with her play-doh monkey with wild hair and tongue out...

we love our families!!

Christmas festivities...

This was a great Christmas!! And yes I am a little slow at posting, going backwards....

Dave bought me 2 amazing books that I am so excited to read, a right hand ring hence the box, an amazing scarf and some new perfume!!

I bought him some new shoes, gel, axe, and a new case for his new laptop!



Christmas Eve we went to his parents house to open gifts and visit then to my parents to open p.j.'s, have dinner and go Christmas light looking... this has always been tradition and we love it!!
