Home for the Holidays

We made it to Utah with few complications. We just had to reschedule our flights from Richmond. Which meant we left 3 hours later and flew to Atlanta instead of Cincinnati. We were happy to be going south of the storm instead of right through it. As a gift from the Delta lady that rescheduled our flight, she upgraded us to first class on the second leg of our trip. We could tell that she didn't want anyone else to know what she had done because she whispered it to us and then whispered, "Merry Christmas." It was great. We had the best airline food ever -grilled chicken, manicotti, salad, roll, and cheesecake! I love first class!

Girl's Night!!

The first night we were here Ann got all the girls from high school together for a Girl's Night of dinner and games. Ann made some very yummy enchiladas. And then we played the Wii - but mostly we just talked and caught up. It was so good to see Falen, Ellie, Carlee, Bethany, and Jessica. Thanks Ann for putting it all together. Maybe we should make this a tradition :)

Elise insisted on having her own Wii remote. She would get upset if someone tried to give her a tv remote. She even has her own Wii remote with no batteries in it. And Sophie was as cute as ever with her stylin' hat. Matt has really enjoyed getting to know his little nieces better. He will even pick them up and play with them.

The guys wasted no time in setting up the basement for their Halo 3 tournaments. They have been waiting months to play all together in the same room and now they play every spare moment they can. The only problem is they all need their own tv and XBox. They aren't really good at sharing yet. Can you see the determination in Matt's face? You can't talk to him at all when he's in "the zone." (he gets mad)
