Christmas this year was one of the best years for me...I had so much fun getting ready the weeks before the big day, and on Christmas eve, I cooked so much food so easily that I knew it was a mini-Christmas-miracle. Last year I got so freakin' mad at having to do so much work that I didn't enjoy it at all--and I learned my lesson. So this year I planned well and got everything ready so Christmas day would be a breeze. And it was. Throughout Christmas eve and Christmas day, my girls we're so so sweet...even more so than the normal every day sweet. We the girls PJ's from Korea and they loved them. Analia got a red Kitchen from Santa and Maya got a cute little ramp that little balls rolled down (see video below). We had fun playing and eating all day long. In the afternoon we took a walk/ride around the neighborhood. It was refreshing to get out into the warm air. On the following day, we hiked to Haputo beach and swam and played in the sand. It was a fabulous holiday. I miss you all and hope your days we're a fulfilling and rich as mine were! Love you!

Greetings from Farmington! I got your blog info from Aubrey's blog and thought I'd send a quick "hi" from Utah. Last time I saw you was at Echo...you were footloose and childfree. :) Now, look at your beautiful family! Darling girls! It's fun to see you guys and the adventurous life you're leading in Guam. How long will you be there?
You'll have to check out our family blog: www.kristengregson.blogspot.com. We've added a new little guy since we saw you last. Shaw is almost 8 months and so much fun. 1 girl and 3 boys keep us busy for sure!
Oh, quickly, a small world story: I saw Lichelle and Trent Perry's names on your blog list. I became friends with Lichelle several years ago - we went to the same gym and did the daycare together. She's a sweetheart. You must have known her from Layton High?
Take care, Kristen
I don't know where to begin... first of all.. I MISS you.. A TON... second of all.. Analia and Maya are SO beautiful... third, you and Mike look great like always and I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE your hair.. out of all the lengths I've seen it, right around or just above your shoulders has to be my favorite. All of the Christmas PJ's are so cute. It's so foreign to me to think that you guys spent Christmas time playing at the beach in swimsuits and tanktops, while I was up in the Northwest US knee deep in snow! haha.. Sounds like you guys had a great Christmas and I'm happy for you! Miss you tons!
What a great thing that we can learn from our experiences and change...so happy that you had a lovely Christmas. What a darling family!
Good for you! It looks and sounds like you had a great Christmas. I admire how well you and Mike handle being away. I hope that the rest of your holiday is wonderful, too. And your girlies are so darling!
Glad to hear you guys had a great Christmas! Ours wasn't too shabby either! It was just so nice to have Greg home for a bit. Love the girls' pajamas! We went red this year, too. But theirs are way cuter!! Happy New Year!!
