The Bell Still Rings For Me…

Well the year is almost over, a chapter is about to end in the Saunders' house and a new one to begin. We just celebrated our last Christmas together as family with just the two of us. From here on out there will be starting our own family traditions as we welcome our baby girl into our home.

But for this year we have many memories to take with us. On my side of the family, we went down to Heber to ride on the Polar Express. We sang songs, drank hot chocolate, Stopped at the North Pole and picked up Santa and Mrs. Claus, and got bells from his sleigh. We then spent the night in a rented cabin for a huge slumber party as we unwrapped gifts and slept out on the floor. Luckily we were prepared and brought our air mattress. The weather was bad going south, but when we left the next morning the sky was beautiful.

We then headed up north to Idaho Falls and spent a few days with Tiffiney's family and friends. We didn't have much luck with the weather because Tiffiney's dad got snowed in at work on Christmas Eve and ended up working about 40 hours straight missing the morning of unwrapping gifts and all Christmas day. Before he showed up the next afternoon, we played board games, worked on anagrams on my new DS game, and then visited a few friends. I was upset from the crapping plowing job Idaho did, but we still managed to get the car from point A to B with only a few snow jams.

Even though the weather was miserable, we managed to have clear skies when we traveled blessing us to see both sides of the family in such a short time. I hope your holidays were good as well and that you all have a Happy New Year…
