Christmas 2008

We had so much fun for Christmas this year, we were on the "go" for 2 weeks! We kicked it off by going to church...yes I said church...with The Eastman Family, who were all in Utah for many family events during the week of Christmas. We went to Jory and Stacis home for a Christmas with my kids on that same Sunday evening.
We had Eastman family photos and a bridal shower for Amanda and Mike on Monday.
Ashton was sealed to Andrew and Deidre on tues and we had family dinner and games with the Barbers on Tuesday. Wednesday was Christmas Eve, and some of the family went snowboarding, Deidre broke her right wrist at the end of the day. We all had dinner and fun together for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day ...well need I say more...Christmas Day is always filled with sensory overload LOL !! this year was no different, however, we did get snowed in up in the Draper house where everyone, except us had been staying all week. All roads were closed, 70 mph wind and snow blizzard blowing all over the state! We had a talent show , where some of the family members "did their stuff"...it was so cute!! We had stories, and a slide show of family events for the past couple of years, of course food food food, and CANDY!! there wasn't anything left out! Friday was a day to regroup, after digging ourselves out of the "neighborhood" some of the snow spots were deeper than my legs could reach to the bottom of!! Saturday was Mike and Amandas wedding, and of course all that goes along with that day! It was a beautiful wedding . Amanda made a beautiful bride, and I had the opportunity of doing her hair and makeup! She is gorgeous! but actually there isnt an "ugly" family member in the Eastman Clan! They ALL look like models!!! I am really greatul for the opportunity to get to know all of them, and be included in the festivities!
