Christmas and more!


We hope that everyone had a wonderful holiday season! We sure did! Brett went on his trip to Mexico and had a great time. He went with his group of pre-med and pre-dental students to volunteer down there. He had a wonderful time volunteering with DP, James, and everyone else!








I was stuck here in St. George for that week because of the snow storms I was not able to make it home. It was weird having nothing to do!
When he got back from Mexico we were able to make it up to Price to stay for a couple weeks with our families. We really enjoyed seeing family and friends! We had a wonderful holiday! We were able to spend time with family playing games, watching movies, and eating delicious food! Thanks for making our first Christmas GREAT!

Above is Grandma Riche when we were at her house on Christmas for Christmas eve dinner and presents. She is an amazing lady who is a great blessing in our lives! We missed all of Brett's cousins that weren't able to make it! Hopefully we will see them soon!

This is Jason, Heidi, the girls, and their new puppy Boo that Santa brought them. Nicole (the one in the red shirt) was really excited about the puppy, but the other two girls weren't as excited. It was fun to see them unwrap the puppy at Nana's and Grand-dad's house where Santa left the puppy. He is a really cute puppy!



Here is baby Joshua. He is getting big! He is a happy little boy!
















Along with those things we were able to go snowboarding with friends and out to dinner with them. We had a blast! My Uncle Gary also took the two of us flying in his airplane! That was fun too! I had not ever been in a small plane, we flew around Price and got to see things up close that I never thought I would see like that! It was way fun! Thanks Uncle Gary! We missed seeing my cousins this year since Salinda is in Japan and Gabe was working. We also didn't get to have the Needles Christmas party, but next year! We look forward to seeing everyone!


For New Years Eve we spent the night with the Riches playing games. We had lots of fun! Here is a picture of everyone just after the new year.










Of course on New Years day was Mom N. birthday! We had a fun day with her playing games and being together.

Now we are back to work and school. Brett has a hard semester with lots of classes, but I know he will do great like he always does! It is my last semester! I will graduate with my RN in May. I can't wait! We hope everyone enjoys this new year and the journeys that await all of us!

I am sorry you had to spend Christmas without your hubbie. I am sure it was worth it though.
I missed not having the party also! But My Dad is putting together the Family Reunion right now so that it is ready to go come summer.
As far as I know it will be near Manti.
What are your plans when you are done in May???

Sorry about the confusion, we were together for Christmas. He went to Mexico the week before Christmas, so we made it up to Price for all of the holiday season. We had a wonderful Christmas.
