Christmas 2015

We had a lovely, wonderful, magical Christmas.  Granny was here to spend the week with us and we kept her very busy. We spent a night in Williamsburg, VA visiting Busch Gardens and celebrating the holidays and Nash's birthday at Great Wolf Lodge. It was fun for all of us except Scott who lost his phone on the scariest roller coaster ever, The VERBOLTEN!

 Christmas Eve was spent with our good friends The Johnson's. We ate,  reenacted the Nativity, ate, Granny bought the kids a pinata, and we ate.

Christmas day was quiet.  We were all tired from the previous few day's festivities.  We actually, had Mac & Cheese for Christmas dinner. Most of our day was spent being entertained by Scott as he attempted to get Atley's new drone out of a tree. The kids spent the day playing with their new toys and a trip to the movie theater to finally see the new STAR WARS movie. 

To ease the tinge of sadness that always arrives the day after Christmas, we drove to Delaware to watch one of our favorites, Jimmer Fredette play basketball. We even got to meet up with him and former BYU pitcher Kolton Mahoney after the game.

 Harley's favorite part of the day was getting her face-painted and the battle balls.

Here is wishing everyone a wonderful New Year!

JIMMER

Jimmer Fredette has been an integral part of our daily lives for at least six years. Yes, it is safe to say that he is the object of Scott's bro-mantic dreams and I think he is pretty fantastic too. I even follow his wife on Pinterest, that is how close we are.  He was in D.C. last night playing the Wizards. We got tickets that allowed us to go early and watch the pre-game shoot around on the floor.  We were a little disappointed when all Jimmer did was smile, wave,and say "Hey, How's it goin'?" to us. No hugs, no air kisses, no messages from his wife about how awesome I am at pinning things. We had to remind ourselves that while we consider him a close family friend, he barely acknowledges us because he doesn't actually know we exist.  We have invested hours watching him play, checking his stats, defending his honor and I don't even think he reads my blog. What selflessness on our part! It's heartbreaking really, but we will go on quietly supporting him and cheering him on from the nosebleeds like the stoic basketball martyrs we have become. 

Checkout how impressed Nash was to be watching our family idol. Harley was not only unimpressed look what she is doing with the middle finger of her right hand!  The vulgarity of that little girl is shocking. Where could she possibly learn something like that.

We did manage to take another horrible family photo while in attendance.  It looks like we are physically trying to hold the boys in place, most likely because we were which explains the super fake smiles on Harley, Scott, and my face

We love you Jimmer!
