Merry Christmas

We had a great Christmas this year. We headed up to see Paco and P at the cabin on Christmas Eve. It had just snowed a few days earlier, so it ended up being a white Christmas. I woke up bright and early and waited (*patiently*) for Paco and Patty to get up. Once they finally got up, we let the carnage commence.
Paco was excited about his new GPS system. I think he'd been eyeballing them for some time.Paco and Patty both got Snuggie type things which they had enjoyed so much at Brenda's that they ended up getting them for Christmas. I think they had visions of grandeur that included Snuggies and football games.
I was so excited to get my new Kindle e-reader. I knew I was getting it because I was having a hard time deciding between the Kindle and the Barnes & Noble Nook. After a great deal of contemplation, research, whining, and testing: I chose the Kindle. I already downloaded some free books with it and I absolutely love it. So completely worth it if you are a reader.
Brenda and I must seriously share the same brain. We ended up getting each other the exact same Hollister shirt (not to mention one for ourselves). So now we both have 2 of the same shirt. It was pretty funny; we were both cracking up on Christmas morning.

After the cabin, we headed to St. George where we stopped at Amanda's new house. It's so cool! We loved it. Party at the Johnson's! Then we headed to Overton for the Behmer fam Christmas. It was good to see them all and we enjoyed all the fabulous treats. Of course there was Bingo which Dan and I didn't play (we didn't stay very long).
To an outsider, we must seriously look like the family from Christmas Vacation because there's always some freak doing something strange...
Thanks for that Melb. I wasn't sure who'd win the prize for weirdness this year. But Floyd was runner up with his "sexy-face"...keep workin' on it! Ha ha!
But we ended up having a lot of laughs and I guess that's what matters when it comes down to it.

Anyway, it was a great Christmas and we had a wonderful holiday. We hope everyone else did too!

The Nutcracker

Today my pal Jay and I went to a production of the Nutcracker at The Paris. It was the perfect way to enjoy the holiday season: The Nutcracker and hot chocolate! We had a blast and it was a great show. If you get a chance to go, you definitely should.Like a dummy, I forgot my camera, so this one we took with my phone during intermission will have to do.

The Impossible Happened...

Today, out of the blue, Branson sends me these pictures:
What the???

My response: You're engaged?!? When the crap did that happen? Holy crap! I can't believe you found a girl that will accept you for all your weirdness. Did she say no? That better not be a cubic zirconia!

Ha ha-of course Akhila said yes! I'm so happy for them both. He proposed at the Kennedy Center after watching the Nutcracker (I'm guessing the picture is a fake because that doesn't look like the Kennedy Center).

I am so stoked to go to their wedding in India! Congratulations guys!
