Merry Christmas and happy new year!

Merry Christmas, everyone! We had a lot of fun on Christmas watching Chase open his presents. (Frankly, most of the presents under the tree were for Chase!) He got a walker, some fun toys, books, and cute clothes, but mostly he just loved all of the tissue paper.

Maggie also got a stocking full of doggie toys. Below she is playing with her squeaky hot dog toy, refusing to give it up.

Early in December we went to a Jazz game against the Miami Heat. We decided to take Chase with us, so of course we had to buy him a cute little Jazz tee. It was fun but I think we'll wait til he's a bit older to take him to another game.

We have so much snow here in Woodland Hills! After that first snow storm in early November, we didn't get anything for a long time. Then halfway through December it snowed every couple of days. Then, the day after Christmas, we awoke to an extra 18 inches! Needless to say, I didn't even leave the house from Christmas eve until Sunday. (I really need to take a picture of this snow! All my SD friends will think it's crazy!)

Speaking of SD, go Chargers! FINALLY! It was such a crazy end to the regular season but why did it have to get to that point in the first place? Anyway, enough about that...

Chase is SIX MONTHS OLD! Can you believe it? He had his doctor's appointment today and he's 15 lbs. 14 oz. and 26 inches long, still small for his age, but normal for him, we figure. We also spent the day looking for a child care center for him, because I am going back to work next week. I got a job as assistant manager at the Buckle at Provo Towne. It's crazy to think that we won't be spending all day with him anymore, but what can we do? We hope he will have fun and gain some social skills.

We wish everyone a happy new year! We're sorry the Christmas cards were late but we figure you can enjoy our holiday cheer throughout the week. Talk to you all soon!
