What a crazy busy, but fun month!!...
The first Saturday of December we made our traditional trip out to cut the tree with my brother Ben and his wife Andrea and their boys. We went to Idaho this year, and I seemed to manage to find a lot of places with no trees and lots of snow. We ended up with and extra 3 hour drive and right back to the same place we have always gotten our tree!
This was the first one we came across and the best one of all the ones we saw, and it even had a flat back to fit right against the wall!
Wyatt helped Tim cut it down, what fine MEN I have to keep me going!! This is Ben with their 20' tree, which meant when we got back to grandma's house and she asked Wyatt if we got a big tree, he said no, because our 10' tree was small next to theirs!!
Thanks for a great time!
We decorated it that Sunday, and the boys were very big helpers this year!

The Sunday before Christmas is the Dahl party at Wendee's parents house. We eat, talk and then all of the smaller kids do the nativity! This year Wyatt and Luke got to be in it, and Grandma Dahl had a little stuffed animal for each of them to hold. So we had Mary and baby Jesus, angels, and a crocodile, a dinosaur, lions, pigs, snakes.... It was great fun!
Luke Christmas morning was most excited about the CANDY!!! It took him a while to open the presents, but he got an airplane, and airport from Santa, along with about 20 little star wars men, and Elmo. He also got more Geo trax stuff and 2 Potato heads, and lots of little cars and a garage, from us and family!
Wyatt liked the little Star Wars Men he got as well, I think there is probably 50 total, Santa sure likes Star Wars!! He also got a Matter that he asked for and a microphone from Santa. From us and family he got Geo trax stuff, a magna doodle, and a v-tech video game system!
Tim got lots of flying books and movies, as well as a big pot like Julia Child's, and The French Chef on DVD... and of course a Cork screw from me. Wyatt and Luke gave him the Game of Life!!
I got a Miche Bag!! So cute, Tim did a great job picking out covers and I love it! I also got a gift card for bath and body, and lots of socks and hair things!
After opening presents we headed to Tremonton, to Tim's mom's house to open more presents and eat!! Matt and Shantel gave both the boys sleds, so we went out and Dave pulled us around behind the John Deer! We then played games late, and ended up spending the night. So on Saturday we went and found some hills at the skate park, and had some fun. Luke would only go with Grandma, and Wyatt wanted to go alone!
