Here's the fam at my parent's house. We were lucky to be there at the same time as Rog and Cozette's family and Darin & Kat's family. The kids and Kate had actually been talking all morning on their new iPod Touch's face time deal. Pretty cool! So, we kind of planned to be there around the same time.
Sydney got squinkies and the gumball machine that goes with them.
The Birthday Girls!
I stole this picture from my Mom's blog. We celebrated our December birthdays on Christmas Eve....cake for dessert after sushi and Chinese food! I thought it was perfect! We were missing 2 December birthday babies...Evan and Carsyn.
After visiting my family, we dropped by to see Jim & Renae. Because Jim had been in the hospital just a few days earlier, we didn't have a planned family gathering. But, we were there the same time as Jim & boys, Matt & Alisa and Scott & Kellie! After we left there, Brandon and I went home and Mike took the girls to see Tron!
We did have an official Arveseth gathering on Wednesday. The girls had slept over at Scott & Kellie's house the night before (Thanks again!), so Brandon and I picked Mike up from work at 3:30. There was a crazy storm coming in and the snow was nuts! But, Mike & I were on a mission to get to the BYU bookstore (I know....just wait), before it closed at 6pm. Since we left so early, we thought we had plenty of time to get there and back to the Arveseth's by party time! Well, the snow got so bad that we could only drive 20 miles an hour all the way to Provo! We got on campus and started asking students where the bookstore was....it's in a building...not a seperate building-like the U Bookstore, so it was a bit hard to find. We got there with 10 minutes to spare! We were looking for ugly sweaters for a New Years Eve party we were going to....but couldn't find BYU sweaters! So, we bought some iron-on patches, got a soda and then hit the roads again! Super icy all the way to the Arvy party, but we could drive 30 miles an hour back! We were late, but still made it in time for the festivities! It was great to be together, although it was a bit anti-climatic. We love seeing everyone on Christmas Day!
