Christmas Fun!

We have had such a fun month so far! Already full of so many memories and fun times.
We made gingerbread houses with Jared's family. I have never made one before, so it was really fun for me... and I already have a few ideas for next year's!

Then we went with our favorite neighbor's to Temple Square to see the lights. Always a fun tradition, but it was super cold that night. We bundled Zack up so tight that he looked like Randy from "A Christmas Story" (I can't put my arms down!) Hahaha!

On Saturday, Jared had his work Christmas party in Park City. We took a sleigh ride to get to dinner (which was fun, but I don't like being cold!) and then had a good time at the party.

A quick story... When we got there, they had cider and hot chocolate. Jared went to get me some hot chocolate and came back and said he almost got me drunk! He said the waiter asked him if he wanted peppermint flavor in the drink, and Jared knowing I love the candy cane hot chocolate, said yes. As the waiter got out the bottle to pour it in, Jared asked if it was just flavoring (which of course it wasn't!). Jared quickly said no thanks, but said it was a close call because the lid was already off the bottle and everything! Whoosh for me!! But my highlight of that whole night was the car ride to and from Park City. Jared and I got silly and were singing Christmas songs together, and man, we are good!!

Just marshmallows please!

And then finally on Sunday we went to my mom's house for Josh's birthday/white elephant exchange/ugly sweater night! What a FUN time!! As usual, we had yummy food (especially the cake that was almost stolen!) and then we had Josh open his birthday presents and then we all exchanged white elephant gifts. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time!! We all had some 'great' gifts! There was one particular present that Zack either liked a lot, or he was scared a lot, but either way I couldn't get under control from my laughter to get a good picture of it! Let's just say, you had to be there!
