WOW what a weekend!

I had a BLAST this last weekend. Last Thursday night we had our ward party where Braden & I performed a silly Christmas song ( no good pictures except this one with Joss and Santa!), then I hopped in the car with Cam and Joss and headed up to my mom's!
My BEST friend from college just happened to be in Lehi and I just had to see her so I made the trip. See, she has lived in Spain for the last 6 years and I haven't seen her since she moved there. It was fun to reconnect. It was like we have seen each other everyday. No awkward pauses. I wish that she lived closer (ie...the United States) but in the mean time I am definitely planning a trip to Spain to visit SOON! Love ya Cin! If you are wondering, neither of these babies are mine or Cindi's, we just love to snuggle babies.


Then on Friday night I was blessed to receive tickets to the Tabernacle Choir Christmas Concert. They were fabulous seats, and I got to go with another best friend of mine...My brother Kimball. He was available last minute and It was just him and I. That rarely happens and I have to say that I LOVE him. We laughed, cried, sang along with the choir, and ate good food! I loved the concert. It was a huge production and it was just the thing I needed to get me in the Christmas spirit. I'm grateful for my good family(including you Stuey) who watched my two little people while I did so many fun things. Here is the lame picture that I was trying to take when the announcer was telling us that there was to be NO picture taking. OOPS!
Saturday Morning, my grandparents, mom and dad, and all my bro's and sisters in the area came over to my mom's for breakfast. We got to visit and I got more snuggle time with my cute neices and nephews, I also spent some time with Stu's mom who just had knee surgery...poor thing. I wish there was more I could do to help her heal.
Then it snowed and snowed and snowed and I didn't dare make the trip back to S.G. on Saturday night so I slept over and left early Sunday morning in the snow, since I had to sing in my ward's sacrament meeting. I barely made it in time, and I was feeling really grateful to get home safely since I saw some accidents where people weren't going home. Scary! My song went well and I had a great Sunday. I felt such a sense of peace the whole weekend, I'm not sure I can really put it into words. I'm just so grateful for all the undeserved blessings that I continue to receive.
