Merry Christmas!

A couple of days before Christmas, Sarah's boyfriend, Dave, came over and they made a cute Gingerbread house out of graham crackers and assorted candy.





I think Dave did more of the construction of it thought, Sarah seemed to enjoy the candy!



It turned out way cute!! I was awfully impressed!


On Christmas Eve we always give the kids new PJ's and a new ornament. It's just been a fun tradition. They open those things on Christmas Eve so they can put on their new pj's for Christmas morning. I started giving the kids ornaments about the time they were in grade school. Thought that when they got older and left home on their own, they would then have some Christmas ornaments for their own trees.









We had a fun Christmas. We did our usual scone breakfast at Brian's on Christmas morning!! Was delicious!









Then we came home and opened our presents







This year I finally was able to surprise Sarah with an Ulta Makeup kit. It was so funny to watch her open it!! She cried even!!


We were all blessed and just happy to be together.

Cookies with Dalan and Macie!!

Usually every year I get together with my friends kids at Halloween to carve Jack o lanterns.... but this year with the choas of our remodel and all that was going on, we did Christmas cookies.. We had a great time!!! I love cookie making!!







I also made Oreo balls for the YW's Christmas lesson. We do a special lesson and have treats afterwards. They were all yummy!

Michael and Andrea's Wedding

Gary and Carol's Michael got married Dec. 12, 2009, to a girl named Andrea. So now there is another Andrea Bergeson, she's nice and comes from a nice family. We all got to go stay in the Marriot in downtown Salt Lake City. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple. Jim, Sarah, Andy and I all got to go. It was fun! We got there Friday night, Jim had a bad cold so the kids and I left him in the motel and went to the Gateway to find a dress for Sarah to wear. We ate at PF Chang's and took wanton soup back for Jim. Then we all had to be at the Temple by 1:00 on Saturday afternoon. It was nice to be there. Nancy and I were the only sisters that made it. Kim and Ang were there with Jill. And all of Gary's boys were there. Brian came later for the reception. Linda, Mel, and Jessica cancelled due to weather and colds. Pam and Rob came to the reception with their girls. Was fun to see them.













We had a few hours between the ceremony and the reception. So we relaxed a bit. Then the reception was at the Marriott and boy was it fancy. A four course meal for everyone, with a live band, and dancing. It was fun.... but I don't think we could come close to that for Sarah's..... and her and Dave seem to be getting more and more serious.... hmmmmm,





























But it was a lovely time. We went to Cabela's the next day, and did some more shopping at the fashion place mall. Then drove home in slush and yucky snow which was scary. But we all made it home safe.
