Christmas 09 at Jaycie's

We left Jarah's house December 26th and drove to Provo to spend some time with Jaycie and Dallas and Ashton. Josh drove the whole way again. I can't say enough how much I appreciate him taking over like he did. He didn't have any experience driving in the snow or ice at all. And I know he was nervous and at times down right scared! But he drove like a professional. He was awesome!


When we got to Jaycie's, Ashton had to show us his new 4 wheeler. He loves it and had to show us all the bells and whistles. He was such a ham. One of our favorite things to do in Provo is go to D.I. They have a huge one! So after Josh got his hair cut we went over there and found a few treasures. I think everyone found at least one thing they couldn't live without.

We came back to Jaycie's and had yummy hot turkey sandwiches. Jaycie cooked her first turkey the day before and we got the leftovers. It was so tender and tasty. Good job Jaycie!

We spent time visiting and just hanging out, watching Ashton play. Then later that night Dallas invited us all out to dinner at the Golden Corral. Wow! What a treat. Thank you so much Dallas and Jaycie. It was great. And then later....

The game began! Oh my goodness! Eric, Jody, Jordan and Jeff learned how to play "The Settlers of Caton" with Dallas and Jaycie. This game is outrageous! I didn't want to play so I observed. It can turn sweet normal ordinary people into savages! You want to win, you have to win or you want to die! They played till 2 a.m.! And I think Jordan earned her victory! Geesh! I went to bed thankful that I chose not to play. I had fun playing blocks with Ashton and Jed instead.

In the morning we had pancakes, French toast, bacon and omelets. Then it was time for us to start heading home. We'd been gone almost a week. We said our good bye's and I love you's.

I want to Thank Jaycie and Dallas so much for such a fun time. It was great!
