Since I already posted the pictures I decided to write about the vacation we had, just so we can remember it better=)
For Christmas we went to visit my family in Utah. My sister Susannah came from Paris and my other sister Katie and her family came from North Carolina. Our grandpa Bingham was there from Illinois, and it was a treat for us since we hadn't had seen him in a long time. It was very low key and very nice. Here is an outline of what we did:
*the kids went sledding in the back yard
*had a surprise dinner for my dads 60th birthday. We all made a video of him for his birthday which we watched after the kids sang to Grandpa. Then had cake and ice cream. YUMMY!
*Went to see a movie (first time for Sara and even though it was loud she slept through the whole movie!)
*Went to Cafe Rio and California Pizza Kitchen (at different times:))
*Had a yummy dinner on Christmas eve. (Shrimp cocktail, Irish clam chowder, rolls, Cheese from France (sooo good), salad)
*Opened gifts on Christmas. Sara was very interested in the gifts which was fun to watch.
*Celebrated my Grandpa Barrus's birthday with yet another wonderful dinner. We had a "Thanksgiving" dinner because my sister Susannah requested it since she lives in Paris and missed the celebration:)
*Visited with Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins
Sadly the week was over and we had to leave. But we did have one more stop to make before going home. We were really excited to see Mike, Colleen and Olivia! We went to Sacramento for Olivia's baby blessing. It was so much fun to see Olivia and Sara together. We cant wait to see them again.
Welcome 2009! The year of the Bull.
For New Years we celebrated at home. I made dinner and snacks, and root beer floats. We were so tired that we almost went to bed early but decided to stay up and watch the ball drop. After it dropped we went to bed. I feel so old, sigh. We look forward to see what the new year has in store for us!
