Christmas Day 2009

The night before Christmas we had our annual dinner with the Stringham family and mine. After we then went to Garretts parents home where we had all the kids act out the nativity scene. This is the first year Bailee was excited for Christmas. We set our cookies and milk and she kept telling me I need to go to bed so that Santa can come. She went to bed and Garrett and I put together toys. On Christmas morning she was so excited when she was coming down the stairs and saw her red convertable mustang. She jumped in and pretended to drive ( she did'nt even notice all the other gifts). Her next fovorite toy she got was her baby alive. She kept saying this is what I wanted, Santa got me what I wanted. That day we went to a big breakfast at my moms house with all my family. We decided to take the kids to park city to go sledding for the day. It was cold but we had fun! Later that night we went and saw the movie Avitar with my family.

We took Bailee down to temple sqaure in Salt lake, and dinner at the Gateway. We tried to see santa but she is scared of him this year. She loved the lights! We also got hot chocolate and went on a carriage ride around temple sqaure.

So the weekend after moving we decided to go run a marathon in Las Vegas. We left Bailee with my mom and sister and just Garrett and I went. I had never ran a marathon before but Garrett had ran many. I had never ran over 14 miles but thought I would try a marathon. I didnt do it very fast, but I ran almost the entire time and I finished. It took us 4 hour and 40 min. I could'nt walk very good for the next couple days and my knee still hurts. But it was fun and I would do another ( I might train a little more next time)

Bailee had her school Christmas preformance today. It was so cute, I am suprised 2 and 3 year olds can remember that many songs. I only got one picture because my camera died! After the preformance they colored stockings and had refreshments. All the kids made there parents a present. It was a ceramic mold of thier hand that they painted red and green. This year Bailee took all of her class mates presents a Christmas book and a candy cane.

This year my mom put together the 12 days of Christmas for all the kids. Each day we get to open a new present. All the kids love it! On Saturday we opened a letter that said we would meet together as a family at Walmart and shop for a family in need. Each person in my family had someone to buy for (all in the same family). We got to buy for a little girls that was 3, so Bailee helped me pick out lots of princess toys! After we went as family to Cafe Rio and the lights and temple square. Bailee fell asleep on the way down there and woke up as we were ready to leave. It was very crowded but fun!

Garrett's brother Trevor was married to Danielle the Tuesday before Thankgiving at my parents home. It was a small wedding and dinner with just a few friends and family. It's kinda wierd now there will be two Danielle whites in the family.

The morning of Thanksgiving we had our annual family 5k run and breakfast at our very boxed up home. For breakfast we had pumpkin waffles ( so good, you can get the mix at William and Sanoma ) and we also had lots of pie. We watched the parade with all of Garretts family...everyone kinda fell asleep on the couch. Too much food and running.

This year we had Thanksgiving dinner at my brother Nate's new home in Salt Lake. Our family and Erin's were there. All the girls wore purple (not planned) so we had to get a pic. After dinner all the girls went and saw New Moon (well, all the girls and Nate). The day after Thanksgiving we finished packing our house and moved to a new home in Sandy. It was a crazy weekend, but we are all moved in and loving out new home!
