Christmas

I have been really awful about blogging lately. But we really haven't done that much since Rob's race.

We spent Christmas Eve with my Dad and the rest of the Warnicks'. It was a good time. We ate lots of food and played games as usual. The Warnicks' started a family newsletter this last year so we played our own little version of "Family Feud" in reference to events that took place in the newsletter. I think that my cousin Amanda could answer like very question! I'm pretty sure our team lost. We were sad that Natalie, Aric, and the kids weren't with us this year.

Right off the bat Robby and Uncle Matt had a good long discussion about snowmobiles. Rob can't wait to go now!

Robby and Whitney were actually texting each other, while they were sitting next to one another. Geez.....

Here are a few pictures of Rob and I on Christmas morning. We are very blessed and received a lot of gifts from everyone this year. We are both very thankful. :)

My new iPod Touch! Don't mind my closed eyes. Robby totally fooled me on this one. As I've said before, Rob and I are really bad at keeping secrets from one another. We always give each other "hints" and end up guessing. Anyway, this year Robby had me believing that he was just going to give me an envelope full of money so that I could go out and buy my own things. I was really bummed, and I let him know it, because I wanted to be surprised on Christmas. So he put this big envelope on the tree labeled "For my Wife", and one other present under the tree. He told me that was all I was getting. So I was totally convinced I was just getting money. So on Christmas morning, I opened up my envelope, and inside was a Circuit City gift card for $50 dollars...that was it. I was so confused!!! He just laughed at me and handed me my one other present under the tree. I opened it up and lo' and behold it was an iPod Touch!!! I was so excited! It was exactly what I wanted. Robby Davis...How dare you use such trickery against me....

I think that Bodie was getting a bit jealous that he wasn't getting any attention.

We also spent part of the morning with Robby's family. Catie and Chris were down from Layton, and it was so good to see them. Mom and Dad D. got me two new shelves for our food storage. I am so excited! They are actually easy to put up too, which will be SO nice compared to the other shelves that I have.....Ugh. We were very spoiled from everyone all the way around!


Here is my little Bodie under the Christmas tree. He has to be the MOST spoiled dog ever. This is kind of off the subject but, he snores REALLY loud now for some reason, so we got him his own little dog bed and moved him into the computer room to sleep at night. He won't stay in his bed at night UNLESS I tuck him in his bed with TWO blankets. Otherwise we'll find him perched on top of the couch in the morning. Anyway, we got him a new stuffed dog toy. It's one of those soft little wiener dogs that squeeks. He loves it. Whenever I come home now, he grabs it and wants to play immediately. He also got two new balls to play with too.

Our cute little Christmas tree. We've had this tree now for about 5 years and it still works like a charm.

Here are a few of my little houses. I usually put some artificial snow up there too, but I ran out of time this year. But they are still cute. Don't mind that my piano is missing the little knobs on the key cover. It is due to a visit from little Mason. He managed to get them off, and now I can't get them back on! All of my decorations are officially back in their boxes downstairs now. I like Christmas decorations and all, but after a while it starts to feel like there is clutter everywhere. It makes me anxious. I hate clutter.

We were also able to make it up to West Valley to visit my Mom and Steve. We were there when Steve's boys opened their presents. They both got new Nintendo DS's. Let's just say we didn't hear a peep from them for the rest of the day! We brought Bodie up with us to meet Steve's dog Hannah, she is a mini Schnauzer. They got along pretty well. Except when Bodie tried to sit underneath the counter top. That is Hannah's "area", she likes to sit there and pick up any food that falls on the floor, and beg. So as soon as Bodie tried to get near there she would stand in front of him and nudge him with her head.

Anyway, Christmas is over but we are very thankful for all of our friends and family members whom we were able to share it with. I hope that everyone had a very Merry Christmas! Happy New Year!
