Bush Family Progressive Dinner







Every year we do our Christmas Progressive Dinner. We have good food and go from house to house. I look forward to this especially since we know there will be a visit from the big fella in red and Mrs. Clause too! Santa calls each kid up and talks about how they have been that year and what they are up to. They are able to tell him what they want for Christmas. Cole did not know what to ask for. He just kept licking his lips.

We sing songs and than Santa will read a book about the true meaning of Christmas! What a great time. Thanks fam!

Winter Wonderland!




I loved that it snowed yesterday and I did not have anywhere to go so I said...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.
We decided to make homemade Chicken Noodle Soup. Yum. The only problem is that we made it around lunch time and so we (Cole and I) kept picking at the noodles throughout the day.
We also made mini corn bread muffins to go with our dinner. Love Cold winter nights with something warm to eat.

Dearden Family Dinner





We had dinner here on Sunday evening with the Dearden Family. We ate, played the bells as we sang Christmas songs, did a kids craft and also played some games. It was a fun night. Thanks Fam for the fun night! Also a tradition that Kevin's parents do every year is they give a Christmas book to all the families. This year it was "Paddington and the Christmas Surprise". Thank you Grandma and Grandpa Dearden!

BYU vs. Utah




We went to the last BYU game. This season has been so fun to go as a family to the games. We only bought two tickets. We would trade between Cole and I going to the games. We also had a few games where we all got to go. The BYU Utah game was one that we all went to. We still had our mini van rental so we loaded up and dressed real warm! We painted the sides of the van in blue paint. It made the drive down so fun. Cougar fans would drive past cheering. Than U fans would drive past and give us thumbs down. We loved it. We love the friendly rivalry kind.



Way to go Cougars!
The following day I had thrown the BYU ticket stubs in the garbage, and later that night Cole had found them and came running into the room yelling "who throwed these away?" I said. "Well I did." Cole-" Mom don't do that-we save these" and he put them on the fridge. I guess we save them!
