Mini Christmas

I can't think of a better way of finishing up a week of finals, than to spend the weekend with my parents and having a mini Christmas with them and Maggie's family. Friday day Dad and Mom made the trip up to spend the weekend with us. They came up for Maggie's graduation and thought it would be fun since we will not be going to St. George for Christmas to have our own mini Christmas. We a Christmas Eve type dinner and then finished up with our gag gift exchange and then exchanged gifts with each other. And to top it off we played cards for a couple of hours and finished up with chocolate mint cake. All in all we had a great weekend, though it was short, but we are so grateful that my parents were willing to make the long drive for such a short amount of time spent in Idaho and stay with us in our new house. Thanks Dad and Mom, we sure love you the Mostest...

Nothing says Christmas more than a lite tree and a roaring fire with stockings hanging from the mantle..

Our new piano that Mom and Dad gave us and brought up to us.

We love it and are so excited to have music in our new home.

Sunday we woke up to a winter wonderland, this is the view from my hall window upstairs, it looks like a park.

Thanks Mom and Dad for coming up and making our Christmas that much more special. Can't think of a better way of spending this weekend. We love you so much and are so grateful for your love and continual support. We can't wait for you to come up again and spend a little more time with us.
