New Year's Eve Eve

 The night before New Year's Eve Nathalie and Eddie were in town from California so we got together for some fun and games. Then for New Year's Eve we hung out at Lish and Ricky's again for a mini fondu night and we celebrated New Years early and were home by 9:30pm. Yes, I know that is way lame, but Ryan had to work the next morning, so we had to make it an early night. It was still a ton of fun and a great way to bring in the new year!

Christmas!

Christmas was a lot of fun! Ryan woke me up before 6am to see what we got in our stockings and to open our presents! We got a lot of fun stuff and then went over to Brig and Michelle's house for some games and Christmas Dinner!

Ryan got me a FRIENDS Decal for my car :)

And a Weezer decal too!

The girls got an awesome Barbie Dream house thing for Christmas! So jealous! haha

Brig, Tanner and Ryan played a few Wii games

We played Pictureka, the card version

Sierra was enjoying the cupcakes that Ryan made

Christmas Eve

 We spent Christmas Eve over at Jeremy and Kara's. We made Gingerbread Houses, had homemade pizza and pizza balls and played games and had a lot of fun!

Jeremy's House!

Curtis and Kara's house!

I made a huge mess with the frosting and it spilled all over my hands and the table, so I did some finger frosting for our house.

This was our attempt of the Draper Temple, not too horrible for graham crackers

We sang some Christmas songs

And Jeremy read the Christmas story and Curtis had hand puppets, he wore the wise men on his feet at one point haha

After all the fun at Jeremy and Kara's we went home and opened our Christmas PJs. Ryan got Iron Man PJ Bottoms

I got some cute owl PJ bottoms that my sister Jennie bought for me! Thanks Jen!



Temple Square

On Wednesday a few of us on Ryan's side of the family went out to dinner and then went to see the lights at Temple Square. It was way busy and really cold but I had a lot of fun. We ate some really good Hawaiian Bar-B-Q and then walked around Temple Square and it even snowed while we were there which made some of the pictures even better! I definitely think we should make it a tradition to go to Temple Square when they have all the lights up because it was really pretty!

Addi again, she's just too cute not to take a ton of pictures of her!



Jeremy and Tammy



As we were driving to the Temple, I think we drove down Main Street and all the lamp posts had these at the top of them and Ryan was jumping up and down going crazy over them. I'm sure he wants to have one in our house someday...



The Salt Lake City Temple! I used a setting on my camera that said "Snow" and it made some of the pictures really cool!

McCorristin Christmas

Last Sunday all of Ryan's family got together and we celebrated Christmas and exchanged our gifts for each other. We played Ticket to Ride, had yummy food and exchanged our gifts. It was a lot of fun!

We had Sarah and Chance for the exchange so this is what we got them with stuff inside of course.
