Christmas Top Ten

10. Gingerbread houses...This has become a tradition that we love. Although we had some trouble with the houses staying together (see the cups holding the roof up) we had a blast making them and spending time with Matt and Rashael.

9. Christmas Morning waffles and ice cream.

8. Taking mom & dad to see the Thanksgiving Point lights in a horse drawn carriage. It was freezing but I loved it!! We showed them a real white Christmas since they are from AZ.

7. Christmas Ornaments This year all the couples got letters. After JJ and Amelia got there R. I opened ours and was a little surprised when it was a P and not an R. Then I remembered that my last name isn't Richins anymore, oops!

6. Getting together with the best friends a girl could ask for. I love our annual Christmas get together eating and just remembering all the great times over the years.
Here I am trying to sit as far away from Matt as possible, it was just not far enough away. LOL

Two of my favorite people!

There was more of us but of course I didn't get the camera out until we were about to leave and most had gone home, oops.

5. Granite Girls. Of course I didn't get the camera out but I had the Granite girls over for cookies. It was so fun to see long lost friends!


4. Our tree

3. Opening the 12 days from mom each day!


2. My new boots. Grant did such a great job surprising me this year! Love you babe!

1. The best thing we did this Christmas was give my parents a frame with a picture of stick figure baby in it! My mom cried and so did I. The full present will be delivered in July.
