On Christmas day, we got up about 9:30am. Kylie had been up since 7 and was coming in and whispering in my ear every 1/2 hour or so. It reminded me of when we were kids and did the same thing to my mom. We started about 5am though. We opened presents and stockings and then played with Bekalynn and her toys. She loves her rocking horse. She gets up there with her hat on and just beams away. She is so proud to have her own horse and be up there by herself.
It was definately a White Christmas! We went down to Rowenes house and exchanged presents down there and then off to Grandma Hoffmanns for dinner and gift exchange. Dinner was great but half of the family was missing. They had all gotten snowed in in Salt Lake City.
We got out of there when it started storming really bad! It had stormed all day but now it was scary. The streets were bad, but when we were getting ready to go up the canyon, you couldnt even see the road. All we could see was the snow flying into us and white beyond that. We made it up the canyon, and then as we were coming around the lake, the truck started to slide. We went right, then left, then right again, sliding sideways down the road. On one side is mountain, the other a lake. It was pretty scary! We ended up stopped facing oncoming traffic! All I could think of was my family and how we were all going to end up in the lake. But thanks to Lynns skill at driving, we are still here to wreak havoc in your lives another day. I dont know what I would have done. Probably stopped before even going into the canyon. I hate driving in the snow and storms. Anyway, we are alive today, and have another reason to pick on Lynn! (you can never have enough!)

We want to thank everyone for all the wonderful gifts that we received and for the great company! We hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and missed us lots (since we missed you lots!)

Now that Christmas if finally over and we have our house back to normal, we have to start thinking about the cruise we are going on in mid~January! We'll have lots of pictures and news on that later. Our love to all and hope you all have a great and SAFE New Year!
