We spent some time with the Bliss's at Temple square and at the Tabernacle Xmas Concert.
This Xmas was our first together as Husband and Wife! We got to spend it with my father in law Bill, and we also spent some time with My brother in laws. The day before xmas eve we took Bill to see Sherlock Holmes, this was Mitchels and I's second time seeing it and I slept through the whole thing. On christmas eve we spent the day doing pretty much nothing but in that night all the Shiras went to see the new Mission Impossible 4 movie! It was a great movie! That night before bed we opened our pjs!
Christmas day was a sunday and yes we did open our presents before church because church was at noon. It was a wonderful christmas! We got a belgian waffle maker, and a vegetable slicer dicer thingy. Mitchel got a nice new jacket and some shirts and movies and a journal. I got some shirts a jacket, a willow tree figuriene, head bands, a skirt. We got Bill the Joseph smith journal number one, and some clothes, and a back massager thing. We got mom and dad, a back massager thing and a lighthouse puzzle with a quote. ALso we got to Skype with Elder Kallen Shira. We had a great sabbath and sacrament meeting. That night we watched a movie.
The next day we all went Ice Skating with Mitchels brothers!!! it was so much fun!!
Throughout the week we watched movies and the boys played basketball, we had people come over and play the wii too.
By the end of the Week Bryson, Jen, and their little family stayed a little while with us. At first they just met up with us at the church where we were playing basketball, and I chilled with Jen.
On New Years eve. we pretty much just chilled all day, The boys played basketball while Jen and I did a Puzzle! I picked the worst puzzle to do but we still had fun. That night the whole shira family got together and ate at Mi Rancitos. It was a delicious place to eat at. I'd deffinately go there again. Later we went back to the house and played all kinds of games like Imagine Iff (we got for Bryson and Jen) and we played It Came To Pass, by the tiem that game was over it was midnight!! Jen and I got the Martinellis for everyone. It was such a wonderful time with the family!!!
Sunday night as a family we ate spagehti and watched 17 Miracles!
They were to leave monday but plans changed and they left tuesday night. So monday night we all watched planet of the apes! Then we said our goodbyes.
I really enjoyed having the family all together this christmas and to spend our first christmas together as family. The memories of xmas and xmas eve will always be cherished.
