christmas in review

I know Christmas and New Year's have already come and gone and I'm way behind on the posting but I'm starting my new year's resolutions a little late this year, so lets hope I can do better. After going home and talking with family and friends I realized that a lot of you check our blog you just never comment. So I will try to do a better job for all of you silent stalkers out there.

Our Christmas was wonderful. Jason turned in his last final the day before we left so on Friday we were able to enjoy the lights of the city before we headed out of town. After a long day of flying (remind me never to book a flight with layovers again) we arrived in Utah to a beautiful winter wonderland. Last year when we went home there was no snow and I felt a little cheated. It snows in New York but after the fifty million cabs drive through it it just doesn't look as nice. So this year I was so happy to see Utah the way it should be at Christmas.

We spent Christmas eve and Christmas day going back and forth between families. We are so grateful they all live so close so we can enjoy the special day with everyone. The highlights of Christmas this year was watching Shea open all of her presents from grandpa and grandma (3/4 of the presents under the tree were hers), the Wii was a HUGE hit and worth the pain of having to lug it from NY to Utah and back again and Nicole and Josh's wedding. Unfortunately we had a little scare when grandpa Larry had a heart attack the day after Nicole's wedding but we were all so glad that we were able to be there for him and happy to hear that the recovery is going well.

Now I know the real reason everyone checks the blog is to see the pictures and this year I took a bunch ... enjoy!!
