Christmas Eve!

For some reason my computer is uploading pictures wierd so I can't write underneath them..anyway, we were in Utah for 2 weeks and loved it. It went by super fast. On Christmas Eve we had the Strong Christmas party and the kids loved being with their cousins. It was so nice to be altogether as a family! I loved looking at the beautiful snow. Everytime we go to Utah we really want to move there, but it just wouldn't be smart financially for us. It makes Mike sad because he wants to be close to family and I would love for my kids to have cousins and their Nana and Papa close, but maybe someday. Mike's whole family lives there and a lot of my family too. Maybe Jenna will find an so california boy. Any eligible suitors you have in mind?? I was pretty happy to come home to 68 degree sunny weather though and to be able to go on a walk with my kids to the park. Also to have them playing outside while I clean inside and watching them pick tangerines off the trees and eat them in the backyard. Definitly can't complain about where we live, it is pretty much perfect except we wish we lived closer to family!! Just FYI we are the 7th safest city (population over 75,000) in the whole country,and we have great schools, SO if any family or friends want to move here they won't have to pay for private schools or get jumped on the way into the grocery store :) Hey, I found Eric a job by us in Lancaster, now if only I could get them here (and others, I will keep networking, just send me your resume :)
