Alright, I know I've been terrible at posting since school is out. I've wanted to post pictures, but the only times I'm on the Internet during break is at work without my laptop. So the Christmas pics will be up soon - if I'm lucky it'll be before school starts again on the 5th. But in the meantime...
I want to wish all our family and friends a most wonderful Christmas season. We just don't have the time or means to send out Christmas cards this year. But we are thinking of our many loved ones and friends. And hopefully we will get out a few wedding thank-you cards over the break (but don't get your hopes up too high....).
We have been so blessed in this holiday season. Our Christmas really started on the 18th when Kayleen and I went to Body Worlds with my sister Rebekah in Salt Lake (the tickets were part of our Christmas present from Mom and Brad - thank you!). Kayleen was so very excited. It was very interesting and we learned a lot. For those who don't know, Body Worlds is basically a museum exhibit of real preserved cadavers and body parts, explaining the amazing miracle of the human body. It was incredible. Thanks Rebekah for taking us and for buying us dinner too! :)
We were able to go to Enterprise last weekend to have an early Christmas with my family. We got to see Heidi's new house and finally use the Bracken's gift card from our wedding. And of course we took a few minutes to play in the snow! It's been years since I've seen that much snow in Enterprise. We had a wonderful time. Thanks Mom and Bradley and Julie for the rides so we didn't have to pay gas! We appreciate that! We had fun opening all our gifts and spending time with family.
We spent our Christmas Eve with one of Kayleen's patients, a dear lady named Louise. She didn't have any family to spend Christmas with, so we headed on over to have dinner and pie and read the Christmas story with her. It was very fun, and especially rewarding to think about others and not only ourselves on Christmas Eve.
Christmas morning Kayleen and I spent in our apartment and open gifts. And then in the afternoon we headed out on our adventure to Salt Lake City to pick up Kayleen's mom from the airport. She is going to be staying with us until New Year's Eve. We're really excited to have her here since we don't get to see Kayleen's family much. It was a BLIZZARD in Salt Lake, but luckily we got a hotel room a couple miles from the airport. That made it nice when we had to drive in the blizzard when Mary got here 3 hours late (they closed the airport and the flight was diverted to Boise before they finally flew into Salt Lake). Now we're back in Provo to enjoy the rest of our break.
We love you all very much and hope you are having a wonderful holiday season with family and friends as we have been.

Yep, I refused to drive in that blizzard so I stayed in SLC until it was over on Fri afternoon. The roads were still crazy though!
