We had a really great Christmas, we both got bonus's so we splurged and bought an XBOX 360. I got Lego Harry Potter (which we spent a lot of the break playing) and Curt got Halo 3. I also got, clothes, a sewing machine, sewing supplies, beading and scrapbook supplies. Curt got clothes,a pocket knife, Books (the new books written by the author of Percy Jackson and a redwall) and painting supplies.
I know you guys were waiting with anticipation, so here is the present I got from the student at my school. I have used the mugs but I have not used the hot cocoa or made the S'Mores (Brigham and Chelsea this made me think of you guys). This is a nice gift to be getting from a student I know I never gave my teachers this nice of a gift.
We spent Christmas at Curt's parents house. We made a Chinese dinner for Christmas Eve. We made cream cheese wantons, egg rolls, sweet and sour chicken, sesame chicken, and Teriyaki beef. It was delicious.
We spent a lot of our time playing games and watching movies. Here is a picture of us playing Lumber Jack on the Wii, they are all chopping logs. We had a great Christmas and really enjoyed spending time with family.
After Christmas we went and spent time with my family. We spent a day in Salt Lake going to the zoo, the aquarium, the planetarium, and the Lion House for lunch. We also went to Crystal Hot Springs and sat in the hot tubes during a snow storm, which is a really cool feeling. It is fun to be with family.
I don't have many pictures of our trip but her is a link to my sister blog if you want to see more pictures

My parents have two birds that like to talk and climb all over you. I never new that birds could have such personalities and be so fun of play with. I think Curt may want to get a bird someday because he enjoys playing with them when we go down to visit.
Curt and I went snowshoeing on Saturday with my little sister Debbie, my older brother Allen and his wife Kathy. We went up green canyon, a smaller canyon in Logan. The weather was great, we actually ended up getting to warm but we had a lot of fun. Now we are considering buying some snowshoes so that we have a way to be more active in the winter.
We tried going again on Monday with my sister since it was a holiday and the place we rented them from was closed but the weather decided to warm up and it rained melting all the snow away. Oh well at least we got one good trip out of the rental.
