Oh the Holidays....

Yep, you better believe it! That IS Jon Schmidt! We went with our friends Mike and Ashley to see his Christmas concert! Amazing!! Our hubbies dressed up in their uniforms and took us out!!

Ashley getting a CD signed by the cellist! He was awesome! Talk about talent.....


Next fun adventure...Gingerbread houses at the Robison's!! Pictured is Jon, Danny, Rebecca and Rebecca's friend Bethany.

Alayna concentrating very hard on her work....

I'm a little behind. I think mine took 3 hours to make!!!


Jon and his finished product!

What a creative guy he is. This is his gas station, with a motorcycle and a car parked inside, and two gas pumps outside with licorice handles and pretzel pumps!!

Time for a break I guess!



Yummmmmmyyy!!


Here is my masterpiece! I guess I was wishing I was somewhere warm and tropical, and was therefore influenced on my gingerbread house! Mine is located on an Island in Hawaii, complete with a palm tree, a fire, rocks, fish, a surfer dude, native Hawaiins (gummi bears) and a gras hut! (Thanks for letting me have some rabbit bedding for my roof, Becky!!)

So Proud!!

Me and my "little" (14 years old and about 5'9) sister! She is apparently crouching down to match my height!

Cutest Christmas doughnuts ever!!
Presents on Christmas Eve under my parents tree!
Me and my children on Christmas morning! Jon is a big Utes fan, I dont' really care bout sports. But I will wear ANY team that has cute apparel!! (Thanks Jon for the cute Utes Shirt!!)

You better believe we are matching!!
Lil' Dobbers!

Christmas day at the Love's house. My cute nephew Cody with his new Devastater toy (Transformers!)

Jon's army buddy Chad spent the evening with us! Love him!!


And of course, Football!


My new perfume from Jon's mom, which smells awesome!! She knows I love anything with the word "Love" on it!! Even perfume!!


My mother in law, sister in law, and nephew enjoying christmas!! What a great day!


And, last but not least, my work Christmas Party!! Here we are playing "Win, Lose, or Draw" We ate yummy Mexican food at a place out in Ogden. It was a blast!


The artists...

I can NEVER, for the LIFE of me, get Jon to take a "normal" photo....

My turn to draw!!


Playing "Catch Phrase" next!

What a fun party! They took great care of us this year, giving away awesome prizes! My bosses for work are Bernice (pink shirt) and her husband Brian (to the right of her). I LOVE my work, and could not have asked for a better job. Love the girls I work with and am so grateful to have a job in this economy!

For new years, Jon and I, and our friends Nick and Jen, went to Olive Garden for dinner and then went and saw Sherlock Homles. Good movie! After that, Jon and I made it home by eleven thirty, just in time to spend the New Year with the Doggies!! :) Yep, they are like children to us. We have had a great Holiday season and are so grateful for our families and friends. Can't wait to see what 2010 brings us!!

Where did you go in Ogden? We live right by Javier's which is a popular place to go.

Kristie said...

I say you need to update your blog.

Did you decide on where to go on your vacation? Now that you are working did you decide to postpone a trip?

DETAILS PLEASE! :D
