Hello, Blog. Part 1

A quick update:

First, Christmas -

We took some attempted Christmas card pictures, which never were made or sent out.

My parents came up here. We celebrated at my sister's house in Herriman. We went to see Tangled at the IMAX a few days before Christmas. First thing Ryleigh says when we sit down (her parents went to a different movie) was "I need some popcorn." My Mom and I just laughed because obviously she's spoiled and gets popcorn every time they go to a movie. My Dad had gone to the bathroom before he came and sat with us... and when he came back, he had this huge bucket of popcorn. Ry was pretty happy with her popcorn.

We went to Temple Square on Christmas Eve, which was surprisingly not as crowded as the time I went for YW/YM a few weeks earlier. We took TRAX somewhere just south of downtown, so we wouldn't have to mess with the parking up there.
(Most of these are ones my Mom took.. the ones that aren't as clear are from my phone.)

More to come later....

I Hate Snow!

I just thought I'd share this wonderful Christmas carol that I just found.

It sums up my feelings about snow perfectly:

1. Oh, the traffic outside is frightful,

Accidents aren't so delightful,

I'm stuck in this stop-and-go,

I hate snow, I hate snow, I hate snow.

2. Cars are having troubles stopping,

Each other they keep popping;

I am moving so really slow,

I hate snow, I hate snow, I hate snow.

When I make it back home tonight

How I'll hate going out in the storm;

Because cutting wood really bites,

But I need more to stay warm.

3. Traffic is slowly dying,

While I sit here I keep crying

Cause it just won't end, I know.

I hate snow, I hate snow, I hate snow.

When I make it back home tonight

How I'll hate going out to the store;

And the crowds that I'll have to fight,

I am sure that they won't have any more.

4. Oh, the blizzard outside is frightful,

Snowflakes aren't so delightful,

I'm trapped with no place to go,

I hate snow, I hate snow, I hate snow.

These are two places I'd much rather be:
