So, sounds like (Brett's email) that you people in Utah are getting,or have gotten a lot of snow. Anyone worried about being snowed in? How much snow is there on the ground? It would be fun to see some pictures.. Brett...with your new Camera....:) You know, see if it works kinda stuff. Our trip here was fairly tame...only scarey in Spanish Fork Canyon. We plan on coming home on Saturday, and according to the forcast, that should be a good day to do it.

So Brett will you be able to join us this Sunday for your Birthday dinner, and if so, can Chad and Erica come and join us? Let us know...Of course anyone else is WELCOME to join us...but somehow, I don't think we will be having many takers. Cambrie and Steve are planning on leaving tomorrow for a 2 day trip back to California...although I am hoping that they will change their plans on account of a snowstorm in Arizona tomorrow, and it will be sunny on Saturday. Pretty precious cargo they will be carrying!!!

It has been so great to spend Christmas with the Dastrups and Nelsons and BJ. It was SO FUN to watch the Grandkids with their excitement this morning. Jacob gets the award for the most sustained excitement for hours on end! That boy was so cute! He LOVES to tear open wrapping paper to see what is inside to the point that Christa had to get her gift wrapping tubes completely out of his range, cause he kept pulling it out and shredding it to see if it had anything inside! Well, this morning, he "helped" ALL of us open our presents! And after 3 hours of opening presents, and they were all open, then he proceeded to shred the bigger peices to see if there might not be something inside that we had missed! And talk about excitement! It was very fun!! I don't ever want to be without Grandkids for Christmas again! So fun to share the event with our Dastrups , Nelsons and Buff!

I do feel bad about one thing. I was hoping to give Christa a break from kitchen duty while I was here, but that was not to be. I am fine today, but the last 2 days I have had a nausea bug of some kind, so I was banished from the kitchen all together! I feel bad about that, because Christa has spent much more time in the kitchen preparing NUMMY food than she would have done if we weren't here at all. So I am sure she will be happy when this party is done! Kiera also got the bug and was pretty miserable yesterday, but seems fine today. Her appetite isn't really back, but she has been fine and enjoying the Christmas gifts, so that was very good to see. Anyway, this was a Christmas Never to be forgotten! Such a joy to spend it with our families! Thanks to all of you for your sacrifices! We sure love you all!
We missed Brett and Katie and Chad's family, but we will hope to have them both next year for Christmas at our house! Nelsons are planning on coming, and if Dastrups can get enough time off work, they could come too! So Party on in a year!!!

Here is an invitation to my honey or someone else to upload some pictures to go with this blog!

Two days ago, Cedar Hills got 10 inches (according to KSL). We got about 6" here. Today we were expecting a foot (the "big" storm), but it looks like it's hit Salt Lake and north instead of Utah County. There is a lot of snow on the ground and on the roads. They've tried to keep up with it all, but it's been hard, since there have been storms every day or every other day.

Sounds like Christmas in Albuquerque has been just what everyone hoped! (except the sicknesses, of course)

Yep there's been lots of snow, but we managed to travel safely through it so far... knock on wood. I got stuck in our parking lot once, but other than that, it's been a lovely Christmas holiday. Thanks for the great gifts - I took the Bathroom Reader with me to work Christmas day and now I know a lot about lawn mowers.

Drive safely ya'all!
