Christmas Day Fun!

Dan and I had an amazing Christmas. It was so great to have a day off work, to relax, and spend time with family. We both have great families who make everything so much fun! We spent the morning at home to ourselves, then headed down to Payson to visit with both mine, and Dan's family. Dan is the best husband, and I am so grateful for him and all he does for me...our second Christmas was even better than our first, which I didn't think was possible! I am also grateful for Christ and his sacrifice for me. He gave his life for me, and I am so grateful that I know I can repent of my sins and be forgiven. Yuki also had a fun day with her new friend Ava! Ava is about half Yuki's size, but she was sure fiesty! Later that night, Dan and I went to see Valkarie with his family...it was okay. We hope you all had a fun, safe day also!

Christmas break??? What is that?

So...Usually the only complaints I have with the snow is that I hate driving in it! This year, however, I have a much bigger bone to pick with mother nature! Dan is finally done with the semester, and was looking forward to a little relaxation before he has to go back in January...but because we now manage a self storage facility we are in charge of plowing the grounds! When it snows like it has been, Dan is literally outside plowing for at least six hours....the facility is huge...pour guy...luckily the tractor he uses has a heater inside so he doesn't freeze. Yuki, on the other hand, LOVES the snow...we have to bribe her with treats just to get her to come back inside!

Bump, set, spike!

...OR if you are on my team you just do whatever you can to get the ball over the net! Ha ha jk, I play on a volleyball team with Dan's mom's work. It is so much fun because even though our team is not the best, we all know how to have fun and make each other laugh. On our team anything goes...no body part is out of the question when it comes to returning the ball! It's fun to have Dan be the one watching me play something this time (instead of me watching him play basketball, softball, tennis, etc)! Even though I am not the best player, I am glad it gives me an excuse to get some much needed exercise, and practice for co-ed volleyball!

Awesome Weekend!

We have had a very fun weekend! Saturday I decided it was time to chop my hair, and also colored it in the process. I was nervous because I have never had it short before but I love it! I am also excited because I found someone I trust to cut and color my hair! Dan got a nice cut too! I went to the new salon in Spanish Fork called "Prestige." I recommend it to everyone. We also finally found a Christmas tree and got that up and decorated... Later that night we got together with some friends for a game night... Friends, pizza, "Apples to Apples," and "Catch Phrase", what can get any better??? Thanks Courtney and Tyson for hosting! We finished up our great weekend by going down to Spanish Fork for the blessing of Casey's baby Ace. Ace looked so stinkin' cute in his little white vest.

The players....of course girls kicked butt when it came to "Catch Phrase"

In other words...Happy Birthday Daniel! He is now 24! Yesterday we celebrated by taking the day off of work, which led to a long afternoon nap, then a yummy dinner at Asuka, and a movie with his incredible surround sound! He was spoiled a little bit this year...he got a really nice surround sound system, a couple shirts, and a laptop (also part of Christmas). I decided to make cupcakes this year...can you guess what they are supposed to be? Lol I brought one in to Dan and he thought it was a softball...it's supposed to be a tennis ball. I sure love him!

Setting up the surround sound!

Tennis ball or soft ball?

Going out to dinner...not quite sure what I was doing with my hand?
