way past due...

I had every intention of using the month of January to post all about Christmas and obviously that didn't happen. So I'm just going to give you the highlights of our holiday season and then move on...

Chubbs favorite present. His pillow pet from his brother.

Munchkins favorite present...walkie talkies from Santa.

 

Christmas eve in our new pj's.

While my parents were in town we got to go to lunch with almost all his sisters and his mom and her husband.

Four generations

Then we went to look at the lights in Ogden. 

It was a little cold, so Chubbs was all bundled up.

Last time Muchkin gets to see gma and gpa for a while. 

In the elevator at the Joseph Smith building while taking some family pictures.

We did manage to get Christmas cards made this year and printed off. However, only a handful of the people I meant to get them actually them because we bought a house and the other envelope of the pictures got put in a box that I have yet to find. I apologize to my friends and family who didn't get one!

Santa and his Reindeer...

Hubster brought Chubbs to my work to visit Santa and his reindeer. 

Chubbs l.o.v.e.d. the reindeer. 

Good thing there was a gate around the reindeer or he probably would have tried to climb on their backs.

  Chubbs - Hat: H&M ($5ish). Jacket: Columbia via TJ Maxx ($10). Shirt: Free via hand-me-down. Jeans: The Children's Place ($0 with coupons). Shoes: Vans ($35). 

Me - Sweater: Kenzie via TJ Maxx ($25). Shirt: Shade (old). Jeans: American Eagle (super old). Shoes: Puma (super, super old).

Santa, however, was a totally different story. I wasn't able to get him to even let go of me when I tried to put him on Santa's lap. 

Santa did however get him to give him the rock. 

We will take it. 

Sweet dreams.

Hubster is funny. Especially when he is asleep and I come to bed. 

Last night this is what he told me as I came in the room. 

"Whoa! Whoa! Turn off the light (no lights were on). It's blinding! Turn it off. Turn the radio off. It's too bright. 

It is pouring rain outside (it wasn't), and it's lightning in here! Why is it so bright? I'm not kidding, turn off the radio...and the lightning. 

(As I crawl into bed) You are stealing my blankets and there is now thunder all around. 

(I open the laptop) Whoa! Now there is even more lightning. And you have lightening fingers. 

Sometimes it's worth it to stay up just late enough to let him go to bed first.

And it's been raining, but at least it hasn't been....

 I don't dare say it in case I jinx it to happen again.

These are pretty but really? Snow on flowers in April? Please...

Oops...I said it.

Uh...hum....

Ummm...Excuse me? Mother Nature?

I'm not so sure you got my last letter. I'm tired of winter and I would like Spring to be here already. This snow stuff is getting old. We all get you can turn our lives upside down just by making all those pretty little snowflakes dump and pour from the sky. K? We get it. You rule the weather. 

However, I do want to point out that Spring is supposed to be here. March 21st was the official first day of Spring, so if we could all just agree to follow the same calendar that would be a.w.e.s.o.m.e. 

Don't want to be rude, just wanted to let you know. Please get your act together. Thanks-a-bunch.

Day 22...

A letter to someone who has hurt you recently.


Dear Mother Nature,
I am ready for spring. I am sick of winter. Quit with the snow and cold weather already. Thanks a bunch.

Dear Verizon,
I want an iPhone. But I don't the internet. I sit on a computer all and don't care to be that connected to the world. Can you make this happen?

Dear Chubbs,
Can you not smile and goo at me and make me love you so much that it kills me everyday I have to go to work. You don't make it any easier.

Dear Girl in the bathroom,
There are TEN stalls in here. I am in one. The rest are empty. Choosing the one right next to me is really uncool.

Dear Morning,
You come way too early. Everyday. Let's work on that...mmmkay?

Dear Mom,
I still remember the day you called me prissy. I am not prissy. Just because I wear high heels and like to get dressed up or overdressed for occasions does not make me prissy.

Dear Utah Hair Girls,
Stop already.
Dear Southwest,
I want to go visit my family. If you would stop raising your prices that would be awesome.

Dear Stupid People,
Stop coming into my office and calling me.

Day 5...

A photo of yourself two years ago.

Finally some snow...



Just one picture? puh-lease...



I still can't believe how little Munchkin was...
