MERRY CHRISTMAS!

MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone!!!! We are glad to be home, safely, even without a car we are so happy to be home. As we started our drive home last saturday evening, our car broke down 2 hours into the drive, in Wells, Nevada! we got towed, stayed the night in a motel 6 (YUCK) and DAD came to rescue us! He left Benicia at 1:30 AM and arrived to pick us up at 9:00 sunday morning. we then piled everything in his truck and drove back home, we got home around 8 PM. our car is still there, and we have learned that the engine was blown out, but lucky for us it is under warranty still!! Thanks DADDY PICKETT for saving us! We are happy to be safely home! TODAY HAS ALREADY BEEN THE BEST CHRISTMAS EVER!!! We love our wonderful friends and family and will post more pictures later! we miss you britt, rich, ryann, cara, jenn, rhyan, carrigan and addison!!

Christmas Cookies!

FORGET THE DIET! HA! too much hassle... besides i got into the christmas mood again and decided to make christmas cookies for my visiting teachers, home teachers, and some friends!!! So a good friend of mine came over, and we went on a cookie cutter search to Macey's. all they had were $.49 cookie cutters, of wreaths, candles, bells, and that holly berry leaf thing.. so we got cookin' and frosting and it was sooo fun!!!!! we made probably 100 sugar cookies!!!!! PLENTY to give away.. and still PLENTY to eat!! I LOVE CHRISTMAS TIME!! DOn't worry even though the cookies don't look to hott.. they tasted delicious.. im sure the cooking will get better over time :)
