Christmas and New Years 2008

This year Brandon and I celebrated our second Christmas together as a married couple! It was great. I for some reason didn't take as many pictures but here is what I was able to get. We have a family tradition of getting matching pajamas every Christmas Eve. Here we are taking the classic pictures that we do every year since I can remember....
Those are the normal pictures. Recently we have liked to spice them up after with some tiger poses... (um what are you looking at Mera??:) This year we took it a step further... (ha ha Mera and Jason's faces are my favorite:)
Christmas morning..... No, we didn't get that dog. That would have been a fun Christmas surprise though. :) That was actually my parents Christmas surprise five years ago.

And for some reason that was all the pictures we really took Christmas day. But to recap in words..we spent our day traveling around visiting family. We enjoyed a wonderful breakfast at Uncle Sterling and Aunt Diane's place and then spent some time with Brandon's Dad, Bill, at his home. Then we headed up that evening to Park City to enjoy Christmas with Sheila, Brent and Ian. We had a great time visiting everyone. That evening, however, we had a little scare as we drove home through Parley's in the snow storm. I attempted to take a picture of the horrible roads but it does not do justice. Luckily for Brandon's amazing driving skills, Bill's 4 wheel car that he let us borrow and for answered prayers, we made it home safe!
New Years!We spent New Years this year with Crystal and Broc. It was great. For anyone that knows Crystal has to know that she does not go easy when it comes to throwing a party. She went all out on us. She made an amazing dinner and had the place all decked out. It was wonderful. Thanks Crystal and Broc for such a good night! The stroke of midnight....

Um, New Years is not as cool unless you're opening a soda pop on the stroke of Midnight, banging pots and running around the house in the snow barefoot, just so you know.

Ummm I have no idea what I am looking at! Probably just turning away in shame at the retardedness that would come with the next pose. Cute pics beck! Looks like crystal really fancies things up!
