HOLIDAYS AND SUCH!

Well it has been almost 3 months since our last post so I guess it is time. Since the last post there has been some Holidays. So if I can think back that far I will fill you in on how those all went.
Halloween was Fun we did a lot of fun things we had a sleep over with my family the night before Halloween. My mom was so cute she planned all sorts of activities. The kids wrapped the dads in toilet paper like mummies, Shaun and Matt looked so funny. Then we played pass the pumpkin (like musical chairs) the little boys laughed so hard they actually peed their pants. It was pretty funny. Ethan was Optimus Prime for Halloween and Sophie was a kangaroo she looked so cute.
Thanksgiving was really nice, Shaun's dad spent the Holiday at his cabin in Bear Lake so we celebrated with the Greene's the Sunday before which was nice. Then on Thanksgiving we went to a movie we saw A Christmas Carol which was really good and we were very surprised at how well the kids did at the movie. Then we had a delicious dinner at my parent's house. It was a wonderful Thanksgiving. And on black friday I stood in line at Kohls at 3:30 A.M. with a friend so I could get a Dyson vacuum at a good deal which I did then we hit the mall, Target, Old Navy, Roberts, and Walmart. We even ran into another friend at Roberts so we went to Breakfast. It was a lot of fun and we got a lot of great deals.
Christmas was wonderful as well we did a whole lot of celebrating. The first party of the year was our own. We had an ugly Christmas Sweater party which was so much fun. And to those of you who missed it last year we hope you plan on it next year because we are going to make it a tradition. So many ugly sweaters and good food and fun friends it was a blast. Except for the part where I dumped a plate of food on my friend on accident ooops. At least she was wearing an ugly sweater... We also had a ward party, a Greene family party and some work parties it was exhausting but fun. Then on Christmas eve we had Jennifer and her family and Ryan and his over for brunch and to exchange gifts it was a lot of fun. Then later that day we went sledding with the kids and I was amazed at Ethan's bravery as he raced down the hill on his stomach all by himself. And Sophie went down by herself as well.
On Christmas eve night we had the traditional Soup and breadsticks at my moms and did some gift exchanges it was a good night. Then on Christmas morning the kids had a wonderful Christmas, Santa brought some great things the favorite being a kitchen. The kids were very happy and so were mom and dad. Shaun got Band Hero for the wii and a gift card to buy wood for his climbing wall. And I got a movie and Wii Resort Sports which is a blast. It was a good Christmas.
Christmas day we spent all day at my mom and dads they gave us new bedding which is beautiful and I love it. Shaun had fun playing wii with Caleb and I had fun watching family home movies from when I was little. It was wonderful Christmas.
New Years Eve was a blast we got together with some friends at Harmony and Jared's for some yummy food and lots of laughs. It was a great time and Ethan slept through all of the excitement.
We have been very blessed this past year and hope that 2010 will bring us good health and many more blessings. I was disappointed to be released from my calling as 1st counselor in the Primary presidency. I had been in there for 3 years so I guess it was time. I am sure I will love the new calling I get as well.
So that is the news on the Greene's for now. We hope you all are happy and well and that 2010 finds you happy and healthy!
