This trip unfortunately did NOT go as planned... We always do Christmas with my Dad a week or two early, usually a weekend getaway of some sort. He would rather have lots of time of his own on a "fake Christmas" than a squished one on the real day and trying to get all of us together is hard enough as it is. Which is fine because i already feel like going to two houses is NUTS!
This years trip happened to land on the same week that Nate was at school, which we thought was GREAT because he would be done early and we could just head right up! BUT... His Aunt Rhonda's furnace went out earlier that week and i noticed she had commented about it on her facebook. I had Nate call and see if everything was ok and if there was anything we could do for her. Her furnace was 14 YEARS OLD and was completely dead. So poor Nate changed out a furnace before we headed up there. Our plan was to leave for Park City and 12 noon instead we got there at 12 midnight. Once we finally got some food and some sleep we were ready for the next day. Which was full of family, games and Walmart trips :) ( last min christmas shopping anyone?) Nate convinced our nephew Austin that his name was Barry... Apparently Nate asked him what his name was and Austin stalled so AJ decided to help him out by whispering BARRY.. He is now Uncle Barry...
Saturday night we drove BACK down to Pleasant Grove for my work Christmas party which was way fun and worth coming back for! We won a really nice poker chip set... which i think we are going to exchange for a popcorn maker... yum :) Sadly i woke up Sunday morning SOOO sick! I basically missed all of Christmas. Nate got to spend the whole day watching sports with my family.. lucky him.
