Today we got brave and made Christmas cookies! We had SO much fun. Here are the finished product. They turned out cute and were really yummy! The Santa ones are all for Santa tomorrow night. Maibel wanted him to have them so he would know what he looked like. She's so funny.

Tuesday, December 15, 2009
Well, we finally got Internet thanks to my extremely smart husband. He had to convert a phone jack or something or rather. I don't really know, but I do know, he stayed up really late (till like 10!!!) getting it put in for me. We have had SO much going on this past month that I really haven't had time to even think. We did get a new camera, which I haven't figured out how to get the pics off of yet, so no pics until my extremely smart husband can show me how.
The week of Thanksgiving started our craziness. We spent Thanksgiving with Brent's family in Payson. I love having my in-laws again. I was so excited to be able to spend a Holiday with them once more! I just wish we could have stayed longer(we flew to Cali the day after Thanksgiving). But the hardest part of this month has been saying goodbye to Kieth and Hariella, who left to Hawaii to serve an 18month mission. I am SO proud of them, but miss them tons. Not that I feel to bad for them, since they do get to live in Hawaii! Being a senior couple, we do still get to talk to them whenever we like. That's VERY NICE but still hard. Now that we have Internet, I hope we can get a web cam set up so Maibel can still see Grandma and Grandpa.
We were able to go to California for a week in November. The first few days we stayed with one of Brent's mission companions and had tons of fun with them. Jake and Fran have three adorable little girls, so Maibel was in heaven. I really hope they take us up on our offer and come visit us in Utah. Than we went to Disneyland for THREE DAYS!!! We went with my whole fam minus Rhonda and Greg. We all even stayed in the same hotel. It made the trip so much more fun to have everyone there. I thought 3 days was great but Brent was good at 2. Hopefully by the next time we go, he will have forgotten how tired he was the 3rd day and we can stay that long again (or longer).
The day we came home, we starting moving in to Kieth and Hariella's house in Payson. They were kind enough to let us stay here while they are gone. I LOVE IT!!! I can't wait to be done cleaning the apartment in Orem, but I am in love with having so much space! Sorry Hariella, we might have to live with you guys forever because I love this house!
Well, this is a long and boring post but sorry! I promise pics as soon as I can! It was nice to update everyone though! I haven't updated Mai's hair blog in a long time, so sorry about that too. Love to all and Happy Holidays!!
