Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2010

We had a wonderful Christmas this year. We went up to St. George and spent a couple of days up there with my family and friends. We spent Christmas morning with my family. We had our traditional Swedish pancakes that I absolutely love, then we opened gifts and went to my Aunt Karla and Aunt MaeDean's house for lunch. We had so much fun! Then we had to drive home that afternoon so we could go to Josh's family Christmas party. He parents came into town and we all went to his aunts house to see everyone. It was a blast! The next day we had a surprise party for his Grandma Hurst 90th birthday. It was a really good weekend.
On New Years eve we had the opportunity to go see one of our good friends Mickey and his Fiancee Tiffany be sealed in the Las Vegas Temple. It was amazing and the spirit was so strong! That night we just stayed at home with our babies and rang in the New Year together!
This year has been really tough! But we have high hopes for this coming year!! We want to be successful in all aspects of our life!! Hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday season!!
