I thought I had lost these pictures from Christmas after my computer crashed, but I found them!! We spent the weekend before Christmas in Park City with the Eichner side of the family. My mom Judy, both of my brother's Mike & Quinn, sister-in-law Chip, 2 neices Sam & Remy, and of course Mike's dog Bella and our little Oreo. We had fun playing rock band, watching movies, eating lots of good food, sledding, and making cookies :) Enjoy!

Finally! Christmas '08 Pics
I just got my computer back from Cirsuit City after it crashed over Christmas(good thing it crashed when it did or I wouldn't have a company to hold accountable ot fix it!)
We had a great break with Mikayl for about a week. We did a lot of cooking, one of our favorite hobbies together. We made a Chocolate Cherry pie! Chrismtas eve we went to the Utah Skating Oval with our friend Megan. It was her first time but she picked it up right away. Mikayl got her bearings again quickly after not being on the ice since last winter. We all spent the day there while Jefferson worked.
That evening we all went to the Martin's and had, what I called "a NY Deli" dinner which was very yummy. Then we listened to Jefferson read the "Night Before Christmas" with a different accent for every page. So hilarious! And we watched the annual "Christmas Vacation" movie.
After we got home we all got in our jammies and watched Elf before falling asleep pretty late. Mikayl let us sleep in the next morning until 7:30am. We took our time opening presents individually after reading the true Christmas Story about Christ's birth. The rest of the morning was spent relaxing together until Mikayl got picked up to see the rest of her family.
It was a total blizzard all Christmas Day. We were stranded in our house all day! It was so fun!
Oreo got a few new outfits from our friends the Stevenson's, and one of them was this adorable Santa outfit! Perfect in the snow storm.

Tis the Season
We are totally in the Christmas season at our house! As of midnight on Thanksgiving, I am allowed to start the Christmas decorating and playing the music and getting all our shopping done. In fact, with 2 family birthdays throughout December, parties, Mikayl's functions and all the craziness of the season, I don't think I'm crazy for getting all of my shopping and wrapping done by Thanksgiving weekend! I like to enjoy December rather than stress through it. So, you'll see all of our presents unde the tree already.
We had a great time decorating our new home. When Mikayl was over we decorated our family tree in the back living room and she decorated her own littel "Charlie Brown tree in her room (its ours from last year in our tiny condo!). My mom came over to spend the night and we decorated our "fancy" tree for the nighborhood to see out the front window. I love lighting all the candles, drinking egg nog, and listening to Christmas songs all month.
One of my favorite things is watching my friends kids. I love it! I've been able to pick up my littel friend Amaiya and watch her after preschool a few days this week. Amaiya LOVES to play with our dog Oreo & Mikayl's Littlest Pet Shops for hours! She is such an easy kid to watch. We have have lots of fun together.
