The Holidays

The New Year:

On New Years Eve, we went out to dinner for Jana's birthday and then back the the G-House for Bunko and Fireworks! I didn't get any pictures for some reason, but that's what we did. On Saturday we went up to Soldier Hollow to go tubing. We went last year when Brent got home from his mission and had a blast so we went up again this year. Gary had a bunch of family in town and Mandee had her friend Doug in town from California so we all went up together. Afterwards we went to Dinner and then to Avatar. It was a fun filled day! And Gary and I tested out Beyond Glaze in draper. AMAZING!

We had my Mom, Mandee and Doug over for donuts before we went tubing.

They are from Beyond Glaze in Draper. If you haven't been, you should go.

There's my plug.

Our tube group. We all went down together for most of the runs.

We were flyin' and then I broke my fingers. Kind of.

On our way up to Soldier Hollow we stopped at the Ice Castle at Zermatt. It was so cool. Pun intended.

Christmas Day with the Kirk/Holman Clan:

After we spent the morning with Gary's fam, we headed over to my Dad and Kym's house

for lunch. We spent a few hours hanging out and eating awesome food. And then my Dad and

Kym made everyone cry then sent us home. :)

Baby Reygan. She is so cute!

Taylor and Gary. They are cuddle buddies

Grunander Christmas:

On Christmas Morning, we go over to Pete and Vicki's for breakfast and presents. I LOVE that breakfast! And the presents. :) Kristine and the baby's came too! This year Pete and Vicki surprised us with something that I will blog about in a later post. No, Vicki's not pregnant. :)

I don't know why I am making that face.

It's the only pic of me or Gary so I posted it. Sorry.

Christmas at our House:

I got Gary tons of ties for his stocking. He is a freak about ties.

Christmas Eve:

We always spend Christmas Eve with my mom, since she doesn't really celebrate Christmas Day. She makes an awesome dinner and then we eat Danish treats all night. :)

Taylor and Gary. She loves him.

Festival of Trees:

We go to the Festival of Trees every year with Gary's family. We go on bid night so that Pete and Vicki can bid on stuff. It is so much fun and I love seeing all of it going to Primary Childrens. I can't think of a better way to celebrate the Christmas Season then that. This year was especially fun because Gary and I got some trees too.

United Title Christmas Party:

Our Company Party this year was so much fun! The food was awesome and so was the band. Camille's daughter has a band called "Marinade" and they are amazing!!! We had so much fun! I love my job! Thanks Walt and Karen for an awesome party and for everything that you do for us!

THANKSGIVING:

This year we had Thanksgiving at my Dad and Kym's house and then later we went to Trina an Aaron's for a 2nd Thanksgiving with my Mom and sisters. Then over to Pete and Vicki's house to hang out later that night. BreeAnn and Jay were able to fly in for almost a week and it was so much fun to have them here. We even got to pick out Bridesmaid dresses while they were in town.

The coolest. (Gary told me to write that, then said just kidding, and then

he said don't write that, and then your making this up.) It's true.

Mandee after food

My cute Mom made dinner all by herself because none of her daughters

know how to. That's what you get for being a good cook I guess.
