Christmas so far...

Well besides having pictures I have yet to post we have had a wonderful month.  It began with Evan's special day and all his friends coming up for a fun day of skiing, grilling hot dogs, and a relay race in the parking lot.  I laughed so hard because Evan was once again allowed to drink and he was on cloud nine.  We went to Canyon Inn that night and his friends all came out to show the support of him conquering TB.  I am so proud of him for honestly only drinking twice this whole 6 months.  It had to have been hard.  Thanks to my parents for coming out to the bar that night and hanging out for the most of the night, that was such a great surprise! 

The next weekend we had my company Christmas party which are always so much fun.  Evan and I have had really good luck at every party with Rossignol and winning prizes.  Last year we won a one night stay at the Newpark hotel which is extremely nice and we used that for our honeymoon.  So we were extremely excited for this year.  They had it at Jupiter Bowl, which is an extremely nice bowling alley.  They have lounge couches, a giant bar and awesome food, all while you bowl there are giant screen TVs playing sports, ski clips, etc.  It was so much fun.  At the end of the night, we won the grand prize!!!  What are the chances??  I was screaming and danced my way up to get our prize, which is two round trip tickets to anywhere in the domestic United States.  All our close friends know that we are planning a two week trip to Europe so this will help us get there.  We are so so so excited.  Counting down the days until July.

Last weekend, I know I already posted this, but my amazing sister in law Kerry had an adorable baby.  Oliver is gorgeous and Kerry looks awesome.  We of course had to see the baby the day he was born, and Kerry was up and talkative.  I was shocked, if I would've been in that position I would've been dead, gone, and not near as cheery.  Kerry you are amazing!  Since Kerry and Jeramie were busy watching over their little one in the hospital, Evan and I took Jackson and Baylee to Yogi Bear.  Those kids crack me up, Jackson and Baylee sang to us the entire way to the movie theater and we love those kids. 

Overall we have had a wonderful month with family, surprise gifts, and skiing every weekend.  It's been wonderful and we couldn't ask for a better family and how blessed we are.  It makes you realize how blessed you are when you see how little people have.  Evan reminds me of how lucky we are, especially with the people he works with it's nice to be reminded of how blessed we are.

You guys HAVE had a great month, even though it doesn't compare to mine (wink wink). Thanks so much for taking the kids to the movie. I'm relieved they behaved themselves and they had so much fun!
