Christmas 2011 and New Years 2012!

Finally, Mark and I made our way back to Utah.  It was so great being back with family.  We loved hanging out with all the nieces and nephews.  My dad got really into the whole nativity this year which included a dress rehearsal and the story of Samuel.  I don't know if the kiddos were quite up to that much acting, but it was entertaining for the rest.  We loved staying up late and playing games, some of our new favorite ones are Bang and Loot.  We had utter chaos for two weeks so it felt pretty lonely coming back to an empty home.  This was the best Christmas and New Years we've had in years,Thanks family for making it so great. 

 Christmas morning with the family.

I love this little guy.  Waking up each morning to the happy squeals of baby Odis was the highlight of my break.  I hope our babies can be as happy as him. 

Skating in the City

So Conagra foods builds a ice skating rink on it's grounds every year.  It's really cool, Mark and I got to see the making of it each day on our way to work and school.  The rink has the lights and everything and it's smack dab  in downtown Omaha.  We had a blast skating, but we should probably learn how to skate so we don't have to constantly be by the edges. 

  

Downtown Omaha, well you can kind of see it.
