Monday Dec 22nd: In the morning we went to Cabelas to try and find paintball things for Eric. We ended up getting stuck and Rebecca, Eric and I had to push the car up the hill. The great thing was it was the wrong hill. We did make it to the store but they were all out of what Eric needed. That night we took Trax up to Salt Lake to see the Lights at Temple Square and to see the movie about Joseph Smith.
Tuesday Dec 23rd: In the morning we were able to go to the Jordan River Temple with Eric's parents and his grandma. It was great to add another temple to the list of ones we have visited together. That afternoon for lunch we went to Braza Grill for some really yummy Brazilan food. I was so full I could do nothing but go home and sleep. That evening we went and met with Eric's dad's mom's step mother. Grandma Christensen. She is 98 years old and still very with it. She started telling stories that were so much fun.
Wednesday Dec 24th In the morning we went to Kneaders for a yummy breakfast. We had to do a bit of shopping and then Eric had us get all bundled up to go sledding. I was scared sily because I hate hills mixed with snow. We had a good time and that evening enjoyed a calm Christmas Eve. Since we were all together we took the chance to get family pictures. Getting a three year old and a puppy to look at the same time took some work.
December 25th Christmas we got up early and opened presents and then ate breakfast. in the afternoon we went to Eric's uncle's house and enjoyed dinner with family.

Mon Dec 29th- In the morning I was able to visit with my friend Joella from college and found a new favorite store in Ikea. That afternoon I went to Eagle Mountain to visit with a friend from high school. It was great to see Rheanna. So much has changed since we met almost 10 years ago and it some ways nothing has changed. That evening Eric and i went to Provo to visit with a family I taught on my mission. It was so great to see them. They are doing so well.
