Other than the usual cooking, eating, and unwrapping of presents that comes with Christmas we got to spend some time with our friends from Charlottesville, Seattle and Tempe. We got to watch the BYU game, went to some of our favorite eateries, went to about 3 malls, went to the DC Temple for the lights and some music and stayed up later than we have in a really long time. We had a great time and I think we ate more than we should have... but at least I can use the excuse that I'm eating for two (even if the little guy's stomach is minuscule).
Bente-Claus must have thought I was good this year (even with my recent car accident), because he brought me a new digital SLR camera! Just what I wanted. In fact I got two cameras for Christmas, one imported from the Costco in Orem, UT. Unfortunately we ended up taking that one back, but we fortunately made out pretty well with a KitchenAid mixer, an iPod dock/speaker, a camera bag, tripod, and some socks. Thanks Mom and Dad! Other gifts included some cute baby clothes, a prenatal massage, the Planet Earth DVD set (one day we'll experience it in HD), and some good ol' mula. Ben got some great use out of his early-Christmas present and was able to move from hard to expert level on some of the Guitar Hero songs. Wow... it's sad, but amazing.
Overall we had a great Christmas. The company was fabulous, the food divine and we already miss being on vacation after just one day back at work.
Here's some highlights of our trip:
Lots of time with these little kids
A lot less Christmas songs because of this game
A lot less Christmas songs because of this game
Some weight gain because of this stuff
After 2.5 years without one, finally we got one
Possibly Ben's favorite stocking stuffer
